Comment on I designed and printed 81 custom keycaps for the GameCube Keyboard Controller, then hacked it to work with Animal Crossing

  Yep, it uses an input buffer. I ran some tests it seems to max out around 45wpm. If you type faster than that, the characters will still be added to the buffer and get processed, but you’ll eventually have to sit and wait for the movements to play out (at about 45wpm). For reference, my best rate unassisted (using a standard GameCube controller) was about 20wpm.

      The Pi Pico implementation is seriously impresive - it’s basicaly a full controller emulator that tricks the GameCube into thinking analog inputs are happening when they’re not.
