Hello, I am typing this with a LogicTech K480 keyboard. It is on bluetooth as are the headphones. I would say that the delay is noticeable, but it is less than half a second in length. I do not have a timer that I can fire at the same time I type a letter, but with the keyboard setting to echo words, when I type the word "words" and hit a space or punctuation, it says words at the same time I am typing the next word. I type approximately 80 to 90 words a minute. I cannot type ahead of VoiceOver more than a very small part of a word. So, I'm not bothered by the delay. but that is a personal preference. HTH, Richard
