Keyboard latency probe
The article describes a web-based test designed to measure keyboard latency through two types of assessments: reaction time and paced tapping. Users are instructed to complete multiple blocks of each test type, totaling approximately 3.5 minutes. Participants are encouraged to provide details about their keyboard setup after completing the tests.
- ▪The test consists of reaction time and paced tapping assessments.
- ▪Each test block lasts about 30 seconds, with a total duration of 3.5 minutes.
- ▪Users should run the test separately for each keyboard and connection method.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Keyboard latency probe This web page is meant to test two aspects of your keyboard: Its latency (through a reaction time test), and Its tap duration distribution (through a paced tapping test). The two types of test (reaction time and paced tapping) are intermixed during the test. When starting the test, you will first have a reaction time block, then a tapping block, then a reaction time block again, until you've had seven blocks of each. Each block takes about 30 seconds to finish, meaning the total test time is 3.5 minutes. When the test is done, please describe your keyboard setup and then press Send to submit your results. Multiple keyboards If you have multiple keyboards (e.g. both external keyboard and built-in laptop keyboard), or multiple ways of connecting your keyboard (e.g.
