Keyboard Input Latency

Your experience is not representative. Input latency of hundreds of milliseconds isn't something anybody I know would tolerate.

That much latency would be annoying while typing.

Vaguely related, someone measured keyboard latency and it does seem slowerhttps://www.extremetech.com/computing/261148-modern-computer...

Significant part of that lag might be coming from the input device you are using. E.g. recently people noticed that one of the latest (?) Macbook keyboards had more latency than an external Apple keyboard.

TVs sometimes have horrible input latency, which when combined with modern IDEs written in electron may add up to bad feel when typing.

vs code typing latency is on the order of 50ms.its more than necessary but not as bad as you are implying

Honest question for the folks complaining about input lag, does this actually effect your typing of text/commands into the terminal? I feel like I am particularly sensitive to latency in the audio world (such as recording though effects or using virtual instruments), but I work all day long in iTerm2 and never once have I thought to myself that text is not appearing fast enough as I type it. Is this problem exacerbated when like pasting a huge chunk of text into vim or something?

It's a tricky thing to perceive because there's a lot of variables at play.A lot of LCD monitors have 50-75ms of input lag. That means you don't even see what you type until 75ms afterwards so you might not even have a chance to see how a low latency application behaves. Then on top of that, there's the human factor. Some people are just more sensitive to this sort of thing.The monitor I use happens to have about 13ms of input lag (verified with camera tests) which is p

Typing with an extra 50ms latency will be fairly unpleasant.

Imagine your keyboard lagging a few extra ms before the character you typed is visible on the screen.
