I'm working on it right now. I noticed what is affecting him. It is
the 60 milliseconds timeout that we have to avoid jitter. Since the
ilume keyboard has some inertia it thinks that the user is actually
pressing the key and that key will take more time to return to its
normal position.

I tested with 2.6.24 and with 2.6.28 and i see an improvement in
accuracy in 2.6.28, and 2.6.24 is no better than 2.6.28 in terms of
timings.

I tried a smaller interval (about 15 milliseconds) for the jitter
problem and things work better. I'll do more tests and send a patch. I
would like to do what you suggested earlier (faster conversion rate
for initial events), I am doing tests now.
