GMMK Pro Latency

[Coastqr]

Ok so I came across this video about the GMMK Pro:

 

 

Well I just bought one, so I am pretty concerned. My switches are the Tealios V2, so will linear switches help a bit?

 

Is there any way to improve latency?

Short answer: no.

 

Long answer, you can't even notice the difference, and even if you improve the latency of your keyboard, it still has to go through a bunch of hoops that will easily delete that gain.

This video is the definition of the placebo effect. There is no research proving that linear is "da BeST FOr GAMERS!!!!!!" and the reason why the guy felt that the switches are "super super fast" is that the actuation force and actuation point of the switches is super light and super early in the travel distance of the switch. He also probably have never tried a switch with the tactility and weighting of the Glorious Panda, so overcoming the tactile bump throws his feeling off.

If anything, it's the switch that gives him the feeling of input lag, not the input latency itself.

Which is totally preference due to the guy's weak fingers.

ok great! 

 

I was really wondering about this, because even with 26 ms, you can actuate a switch a ton of times a second. 

 

Should I get QMK to lower the latency a bit more?

The last time I saw a post about latency and the GMMK Pro, people mentioned it was caused by the glorious firmware. I've read that QMK fixes the issue. I personally haven't noticed any issues with latency but I also don't play FPS games that much.
