You don't think "I need 279ms contact time, or else it wont register." You just drum. And it's not the pressure I believe, I think it's the motion detection/change detection. I guess if you rig up 5x 1000FPS cameras that would do the trick, but then need a software re-write to adjust for all the speedy goodness. @Karun AB

You need to have enough pressure cause it does have IR beams you need to cut and it should be for long enough to show up on the cameras (which I'm pretty sure should be at least 15-25 fps and thus sufficient). Of course, these are educated guesses since I don't have 15K USD for getting my hands on a dev version of Microsoft Surface and well.. Microsoft doesn't love me *that much* (yet? :P) All is not lost.. Surface is still young. In the meanwhile, you can continue drooling at the 2 year old videos on http://microsoft.com/surface Nice to know that me hacking you in and back dooring another guy in actually paid off :p Where’s my name in the credits roll?! :(
