Test Progress0/3

Input Latency Response Speed Polling Rate

Keyboard Response Characteristics Test

Analyze the time intervals between consecutive key presses to detect keyboard and system response characteristics. Smaller minimum intervals indicate lower latency.

Test Principle Explanation

• Test Method: Analyze time intervals between consecutive key presses, minimum interval reflects keyboard+system response capability

• Excellent Response: < 50ms - High-end gaming keyboard + optimized system

• Good Response: 50-80ms - General gaming keyboard

• Fair Response: 80-120ms - Standard keyboard

• Important: This is a relative performance metric, affected by keyboard hardware, USB interface, system load and other factors

Keyboard Performance Testing Guide

Understand the meaning of each performance metric to get more accurate test results

🚀 Input Latency Test

Measure the time delay from physical key press to system detection

Excellent< 10ms

Good10-20ms

Fair20-30ms

⚡ Response Speed Test

Test key press to release response time and consistency

Very Fast< 100ms

Fast100-150ms

Normal150-200ms

🔄 Polling Rate Test

Detect the frequency at which the keyboard reports status to the system

Professional1000Hz

High-end500Hz

Standard125Hz

📋 Pre-test Preparation

1.Close other programs that consume system resources

2.Ensure keyboard is directly connected to computer (avoid USB hubs)

3.Use the latest keyboard drivers

4.Test in a quiet environment to avoid interference

💡 Testing Tips

•React immediately when you see the prompt during latency tests

•Maintain consistent key pressure during response speed tests

•Polling rate tests require rapid continuous key presses

•Repeat tests multiple times for more accurate results

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't my test results match the official specifications?

Test results are affected by various factors including operating system, browser, USB interface, system load, etc. This test provides relative performance reference in the current environment, not absolute keyboard specifications.

Is there a big performance difference between mechanical and membrane keyboards?

Mechanical keyboards typically perform better in response speed and consistency, but modern high-end membrane keyboards can also achieve good performance. Consider feel, noise, and price when choosing a keyboard.

What performance metrics do gamers need?

Competitive gamers should choose keyboards with latency <20ms and polling rate ≥500Hz. For general gaming, latency <30ms and polling rate ≥250Hz can provide a good gaming experience.

How to improve keyboard performance?

Ensure using USB 2.0 or higher interface, update drivers, enable high polling rate mode in keyboard settings, and close unnecessary system services and background programs.
