Performance

Input latency is tested using the methodology outlined at WydD's inputlag.science website, using the default 1000 Hz (1 ms) polling rate in the firmware. If you are interested in testing for yourself, or would just like to know more about the devices used to do the testing, you can read more about the setup we use to conduct latency testing HERE.
