Hi there,
I'm using my Mac to run an experiment, so I need to find out what my keyboard's polling rate is. Since my computer is a laptop, I was told the keyboard would have a relatively high polling rate, as most USB keyboards do. This would allow me to record key presses with millisecond accuracy. However, when I run an experiment on my Mac, the reaction times I get recorded are super high, so I'm worried the keyboard's polling rate is not good. So:
1) do you guys know how I can find out the keyboard's polling rate?
2) do you know if I can modify that pollling rate myself?
thanks for your help!
