Until the speed of light starts increasing, latency will always be an issue for thin clients.

Fun experiment: Try ssh-ing into a web host or a school account. Peruse a few directories and open a few files in VI. Type in a paragraph of text. Now try the same on your local machine's terminal and compare the responsiveness!

I'm a developer, I SSH into remote machines and type code all the time. As long as you're 10-15ms away, it's not an issue.

10-15ms is good enough of a ping for an FPS. That's fantastic!
