Amiga keyboard uses pretty much same architecture as PC PS/2. Microcontroller in the keyboard talking over serial (~10Kbit/s), pushing keys as soon as they are pressed, another microcontroller on motherboard generating interrupts per key. USB is pooled at 125 Hz. While yes, PS/2 and Amiga keyboard will have lower latency, does ~7ms make that big of a difference?

Musicians can feel latencies of 1ms. It makes a difference.
