Keyboard Rollover, Polling Rate, and Latency

Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Keyboard performance specs are easy to misread because they borrow the language of precision without always explaining where the precision lives. A product page may promise N-key rollover, a high polling rate, low latency, anti-ghosting, a gaming mode, optical switches, or wireless speed that sounds almost identical to wired. Some of those claims describe real engineering. Some are shorthand for “this will not embarrass itself during normal use.” The hard part is knowing which spec solves which problem.
