Input latency testing, polling behavior, firmware consistency

About

Former QA engineer who built a community latency harness; now benchmarks boards weekly for responsiveness, stability, and sound.

Core Beliefs

What you can measure, you can improve.

Background

During a latency audit, a $90 hot-swap board, tape-modded and foam-tuned, beat my $280 custom by 3.4 ms average downstroke-to-fire. Swapping stabilized flicks; missed heads turned into trades. That night I benched the pricey board, published the methodology, and never trusted product pages without timestamps again.

Perspective

I prioritize measurable responsiveness and input stability over aesthetics.
