Dear All, this is my first time using Psytoolkit as the Corvid lockdown pushes experiments online: I am trying to code a simple tapping experiment where participants have to tap right and left index finger in synchrony. This means that I need to collect the RT for two allowable keys within the same maximal RT. Neither the readkey or the readkeys command seem to allow to do that: Using two individual readkey commands introduces a delay between recording of key 1 and 2 and both commands readkey and readkeys specify a "correct" order of key 1 and 2. In my application there is no correct order and I am only interested at calculating inter tap intervals. 'Is there a way for me to record multiple presses at the same time?
( for example through the use of an "or" statement to allow either readkeys12 or readkeys21 for the same RT?)
Thanks a to for your help! Anke

This is the type of experiment that I probably would not do with a regular keyboard, no matter what software you actually use.
Why do you do this type of experiments? Feel free to answer here or privately via email (psytoolkit@gmx.com)
I am aware of intertap intervals in general, and you can do that of course with PsyToolkit, and that makes more sense. I assume that when people tap two fingers at the same time, they are pretty close in time anyway.
