You'll probably see around 200ms. Not saying that's the relevant number in this discussion, but that's probably where the number comes from.

On mobile, I consistently get just under 400ms. I suspect using a mouse would get me closer to 200ms, since I would be resting my finger on the button.

So yes, total reaction time is generally quite long, but most of that time is spent performing "action".

That site would be more interesting if it provided a second interface where you do something predictable, like match a repeating beat.
