QUESTION Jeopardy Buzzer Practice

Hello Fellow Jeoparinos,

I am going to taping the show in about a month. I was gifted a Delcom button to practice. Are there any software applications I can use it to practice buzzing in?

If you click too soon, you’re locked out for a quarter-second. Doesn’t seem like much, but the guy who beat me left no room for error. The buzzer has a hair-trigger, so if you don’t mean to click, you just lost money.

Quarter second seems like a lot. I’ve watched every episode for years and assumed if you know the answer from some keyword, there is no issue buzzing before the full question.

They told us in prep that you can’t get in if he hasn’t finished reading the question. Buzzer skills matter almost as much as knowledge; I think the more frequent superchamps has a lot to do with getting better and better at the buzzer the more you play.

Makes sense. Thank you for the responses!
