Keyboard Auto-Repeat Rate

Common Options : 6/Sec, 8/Sec, 10/Sec, 12/Sec, 20/Sec, 24/Sec, 30/Sec

Quick Review

This BIOS feature determines the rate at which the keyboard will repeat a keystroke if you press it continuously.

The available settings are in characters per second. Therefore, a typematic rate of 30/Sec will cause the keyboard to repeat the keystroke at a rate of 30 characters per second if you press a particular key continuously. The higher the typematic rate, the faster the keyboard will repeat the keystroke.

The choice of what setting to use is entirely up to your personal preference. But note that this typematic rate is only applicable in operating systems that communicate with the hardware through the BIOS, like MS-DOS. The typematic rate in operating systems like Windows XP are controlled by the keyboard driver's settings.
