The number of times your kb sends the input data to your PC
If you're looking for accuracy scores, p much yes

Depends on the keyboard being used. There's usually some description of a keyboard's polling rate in websites if that's what you wanna know.
And tbh, it doesn't really matter that much unless you really want some really good accuracy. A normal one should still be good.

Yes and no I guess. It all comes down to getting used to your Keyboard. I have two Keyboards, one with high polling rate (125hz) and one with low polling rate (40hz).
I first used a low polling rate keyboard and got used to it so when I changed my keyboard, I was hitting notes too early. Months have passed and I decided to switch back to my old keyboard and I was hitting too late and went back to my new one. XD
In summary: High polling rate = less delay in inputs, Low polling rate = more delay in inputs.

Low polling rate means less accurate inputs, not necessarily more delay in inputs. It’s recommended to higher polling rate keyboards whenever possible so your inputs are as accurate as possible.iShanoa wrote:

Both correct, really. With a low polling rate, you have no idea how it will take for the key-press to register. Could come out instantly, or even 8 ms later; you never know.YyottaCat wrote:

The player will be incentivized to hit earlier though, since even if the delay isn't consistent, the average is still a delay.
