Welcome to the Keyboard Latency Checker! Here's how to use this tool effectively:
🛠️ How to Use
✦ Start Testing: Press any key to begin. The first press sets the timer, and the second records the latency.
✦ View Results: Check "Last Latency" for the most recent measurement and "Average Latency" for the overall average.
✦ Log Review: See the "Key Press Log" for a history of keys pressed and their latencies.
✦ Reset: Click "Reset Latency" to clear all data and start fresh.
✦ Theme: Toggle between light and dark modes using the switch in the header.
🔍 Understanding Latency
Latency is the time (in milliseconds) between when you press a key and when it's registered on-screen. Lower latency is better for responsiveness, especially in gaming or real-time tasks.
✦ Ideal Latency: Below 10ms is excellent for most applications.
✦ Acceptable: 10-20ms is typical for standard keyboards.
✦ High Latency: Above 20ms may indicate delays or hardware issues.
