I just want to point out that most keyboards hav a latency at 10-20 ms[1], so 1 ms is impossible.

That includes the physical travel time, which is an extremely important caveat.

Sure. But that is what the experience is, right? When I press a key, the entire end to end latency is what I care about.

Is there a physical reason for it? Or is it just that keyboard manufacturers don't care about latency?
