I'm fine with wanting to measure travel time of keyboards but that really shouldn't be hidden in the latency measurement. Each measure (travel time and latency) is part of the overall experience (as well as many other things) but they are two separate things and wanting to optimize one for delay isn't necessarily the same thing as wanting to optimize both for delay.

I.e. I can want a particular feel to a keyboard which prioritizes comfort over optimizing travel distance independent of wanting the keyboard to have a low latency when it comes to sending the triggered signal. I can also type differently than the tester and that should change the travel times in comparisons, not the latentcies.
