> Every keystroke is restyled in under 8ms: no debouncing, no delayed rendering. 20 rapid keystrokes are processed in 150ms with full restyling after each one. Not trying to be unpleasant but these times are slow, right? 8ms is an entire frame at 120Hz, that’s an eternity |

This feels instant on iOS, and scientifically it's faster than almost all keyboards, which have latency between 15ms and 60ms: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33817626 and the best computer latency was the Apple IIe at 30ms https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16001407 a network packet takes 190ms to go round the world, that's certainly longer but still not quite an eternity.
Also, you are of course free to do better :)
