that's what i'm wondering... i guess i'm just going to write down what the values are now and play with them.

okay, this is good to know, what always fixes it for me is a reboot. but then again, if i see that hte keyboard lag is happening it also means the entire unit for me slows down to a crawl.

It also affects the rest of the buttons as well.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"InitialDelay"=dword:00000244
"RepeatRate"=dword:0000000C

Is what I have for default in 5060.

not sure if i'm just imagining things, but i notice the repeat problem to not be quite as bad with these settings. it still happens, but it seems less frequent.

well, i'm still getting the problem, and i really hope this is fixed in the next update for the phone. i really like having the keyboard to type on, but i've resorted to onscreen solutions.

In another (what i thought was unrelated) thread, there were problems with hardware keyboard and the hetaldp HTC Touch Keyboard that was added. Keys were not registering at all. So I reverted to the older version to test. Hardware keys work, but I get repeats. I couldn't completely type out the homerow (straight across carefully) without getting a repeat. Flash without HTC Touch Keyboard, and I can type the entire keyboard with no repeats.

Could anyone who's having problems please let me know if they're using HTC Touch Keyboard.

i didn't install a Touch keyboard until this past Saturday.... and even then it was PocketCM.

I installed the HTC Titan KeyFix.cab file found at this link and no more repeats. THANK YOU GUYS so much. That was driving me nuts. I still have the old keyboard problem with one or 2 of my keys you have to press twice as hard as the other to work. I think that is a hardware problem cause I know a few people on alltel official stock rom that have that same problem. By the way, I was never using the HTC Touch keyboard and never installed it.

Cool. Thanks for the input, all. I've added this fix to 5060 for next update. What it does is replaces the keyboard driver which makes sense if it's been happening since 3.35+. Actually a downgrade, but if it works, it works. Doesn't seem to break anything.
