Re: Duplicate Characters when Typing

Its not a hardware issue.... its a registry setting issue. If it were a hardware issue then the mogul would have been plagued with this problem from the start... but it wasnt.

So....

Get out your favorite Registry editor and go to:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd

In there you will see an entry "InitialDelay" and the value is usually high... Something like 600-700... I assume this is milliseconds... but who knows. Anyway, change this value to something like 50 or 75. It works wonders. I have done it and the duplicating keypresses ceased.

Check out
Info about Mogul and when the problem arose.... (Rom 3.35 and up)

and

Info about Touch Pro with the same problem... remedied the same way.

EDIT: Oh ya, dont forget to reset after changing the registry!
