Keyboard Auto-Repeat Delay
Common Options : 1/4 Sec, 1/2 Sec, 3/4 Sec, 1 Sec
Quick Review
This BIOS feature determines how long, in fractions of a second, the keyboard controller will wait before it starts repeating the keystroke that you have pressed continuously. The longer the delay, the longer the keyboard controller will wait before it starts repeating the keystroke.
Generally, using a short delay is useful for people who type quickly and don't like to wait long for a keystroke to be repeated. On the other hand, a long delay is useful for users who tend to press the keys longer while typing. This prevents the keyboard controller from unnecessarily repeating keystrokes with such users.
