Every matrix keyboard has to scan, and thus does have some sort of=20
quantization. Every serially-connected keyboard (or terminal) does this.
Async serial receivers in reality are not async, just synchrounous with
(canonically) a 16x clock... so the timing of their receive interupts
is quantized, too.

So if you're worried, you're starting late...
