This is the rate of new input updates, not the advertised USB polling rate. No locked individual results used. Exact tested firmware, numeric actuation/debounce/RT settings and cable for this run are not stated. Review reports cable/firmware issues. No single/multi/chord/release latency is inferred or mixed with LTT row 1.17Measurementrtings.com/keyboard/learn/how-we-testRead 7 October 2026Method for row 2 effective-update result: raw keyboard USB output checked with Beagle USB 480 analyzer to determine maximum effective input-update rate and rollover. Keyboard performance preparation minimizes debounce, adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger, enables low-latency/competition mode, disables RGB effects, and uses highest supported scan/polling. This general method does not provide missing model-specific numeric settings or firmware. LTT row 1 remains separate.
