The test mentions the floating and comes to the same conclusion as i: it takes time to get to the floating position and that adds to the latency.

but this probably wouldn't feel laggy, right? because your brain is going to expect full-key-down to be the point at which text appears. especially if that point is well-expressed mechanically (eg, a click).

this would be like saying a physical kick drum or high hat is laggy, because theres a delay between when your foot starts moving and when the sound happens. (which would be silly!)
