Wireless keyboards & Response Time

Simona

Hello everyone,

We are using OpenSesame to conduct an experiment (we are using both the Simon task and the AX task) for an entire group of children at once. Most of the keyboards in the lab are wireless, but a couple are not. Does anyone know if there will be a difference in the response time due to the type of keyboard used and how big that difference could be?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Simona,

I myself don't know much about these things, but the web does:

• https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/
• https://www.blackboxtoolkit.com/responsedevices.html

• etc..

Hope it helps,
