For mouse and joystick devices user can change the polling interval via usbhid.mousepoll and usbhid.jspoll. Implement the same thing for keyboards, so user can reduce(or increase) input latency this way. This has been tested with a Cooler Master Devastator with kbpoll=32, resulting in delay between events of 32 ms(values were taken from evtest).
