Not trying to be unpleasant but these times are slow, right? 8ms is an entire frame at 120Hz, that’s an eternity
This feels instant on iOS, and scientifically it's faster than almost all keyboards, which have latency between 15ms and 60ms: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33817626 and the best computer latency was the Apple IIe at 30ms https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16001407 a network packet takes 190ms to go round the world, that's certainly longer but still not quite an eternity.
Also, you are of course free to do better :)

While I agree in principle, do mind that this in on a mobile device. It may seem slow indeed, but I think this is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the performance of current Electron-based software lowered the bar a little bit, therefore it feels faster. If you spend your day using web-based stuff instead of native, it may certainly feel so.
