They start measuring from internal switch activation and I start when the key moves, so that could explain the 10ms difference.

Also, does anyone in the NYC area have an "interesting" keyboard I can borrow to test?

So far, I've tested a couple gaming keyboards and a bunch of other "normal" keyboards. The gaming keyboards haven't been faster.

Have you tested a @keyboardio? There is one @recursecenter.

That latency wouldn't surprise us a whole lot. You ~need at least 5ms for debounce. With housekeeping & overhead, it's easy to get to 20ms.

There's a lot one can do to get well below 20ms, but, in our opinion, not a ton of utility in it for _most_ applications.

If you do play with a Model 01, we have some keys wired to exposed headers inside the enclosure, which should make measurement easier.
