TF2 and Keyboard polling rate

As we all know, TF2 (on most systems) can’t handle mouse polling rates above 2K. Now we’re starting to see gaming keyboards with higher polling rates - for example, the Wooting 2HE is coming out this quarter with an 8K polling rate.

Does anyone have experience with keyboard polling and TF2? I’m assuming it’s the same issue we see with high mouse polling, unless someone knows otherwise. I’ll test it further when I get my hands on one.

I don't expect it to be an issue. With high polling rate for a mouse, when you move it, you're sending 1000s of updates per second to a game that didn't expect to have to handle that. With high polling rate keyboards you're limited by how fast you can type, so a higher polling rate will just get the info to the game a little sooner, but the amount of information is the same.
