Can I ask you how is the feedback when you write on your keyboard? Isn't there a delay?

The refresh rate is really good for an e-ink screen. There's no significant delay when typing. It's not blazing fast, but it never gets noticeable enough to be annoying. I even watch videos on this thing, although I account for the lag by adding a 200 ms A-V delay on mpv (Ctrl++).

To be completely clear, do you mean that there's a median of ~200ms of latency?

That's kind of my "oww, server is too far away" point with SSH...

It's closer to 150 ms. mpv only lets you increase or decrease delay in intervals of a hundred milliseconds, as far as I know.

Thanks.

FWIW, that's what the default keybindings configure.

You can create your own input.conf to override this - ^F for `audio-delay`: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mpv-player/mpv/master/etc/...

You can also specify --audio-delay (^F in https://mpv.io/manual/master/) which accepts fractions of seconds, but that makes for much slower iteration.
