Tactile keyboards

[LOST TALE]

what the latency?

 

are there any benchmarks for keyboard latency?

"latency"?

 

If you mean what you mean, then it's negligible, if you mean what I think you mean the actuation force differs based on keys.

 

actuation forces are listed here:

1000Hz ultrapolling, essentially 0ms.

People where claiming mechanical keyboards to be more ''responsive'' apprarently.

I read one of the links posted in here.

I have never made such a claim, nor am I aware of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts who have made such a claim. People who use and prefer mechanical keyboards feel that the typing experience on a mechanical keyboard is enhanced, more pleasurable and prolong typing isn't a bore. I certainly do not mind typing my reports from time to time using my mechanical keyboard. It's more for the general feel of mechanical keyboard over regular membrane keyboards.

 

Now, your last question is unclear, tactility of a key/switch has to do with a slight bump you feel when depressing certain types of mechanical switches (this 'bump' can be best described as a mild resistance you feel when depressing such a switch), namely Green/Blue/Brown/Clear/White...it is still a mechanical switch, so I hope this clarifies things for you.
