Keyboard latency probe
Hello, fellow geeks! I was working on a side project when I discovered something odd about how keyboards behave. I only have three keyboards myself to test with, so I would like to recruit your help in providing me data from your keyboards. The link leads to a simple 3.5 minute browser-based test which lets you record response times and tap durations from your keyboard, and then send them to me. If you can take the time out of your day to help me better understand this, I'd greatly appreciate your contribution. Once I have enough data, I will naturally share the results of the analysis back with the community. I'd like to also share the raw data, but I haven't yet thought through any potential privacy concerns around this, so I don't yet know if I will. Comments
