Lower latency than PS/2?

That's harder to say, there aren't exactly a glut of PS/2 keyboards and mice these days or thorough testing data. And for good reason.

But the best keyboards these days approach around 0.8 ms: https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/corsair/k100-air

the article you linked measures the receiver latency at 2.8ms though. does the k100 use some higher power version of wireless when plugged in? I imagine it's just usb when plugged in.

Also the field75 he mentioned in the OP does tie that keyboard's wired latency:

You're right! Looks like I picked a misread the latency and picked a bad example.

Best wireless mechanical is: https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/asus/rog-falchion-rx... (1.7ms @ 1kHz)

Best wired mechanical would be the Corsair Air 100 I linked at 0.8ms, tied with a Field75 which is also wired.

This is a very surprising result.

Isn't USB+2.4GHz modem by nature going to introduce more latency than just USB?

Is it directly connected to wireless somehow? Pcie card or something?
