If the major source of latency is key travel distance, does this really impact the user experience? My feeling is that a keyboard with longer travel distance feels more "solid" than one where the key hardly goes down at all, even if this adds some extra latency. Otherwise we could just type on virtual keyboards with zero travel distance, but then there is no tactile feedback when the key is pressed.
