Here is the Github repository for the binary release and the source code: https://github.com/EricTetz/keyrate What it does is on Windows, when working on programming or other typing tasks, it changes your keyboard delay rate and repeat rate based on parameters you give to this small utility. You can even set it so Windows can have the same typing speed as Ubuntu. Feel free to download this utility, then extract to a folder directory of your choice that's in the system environment variable PATH, so that you can access it at any time you want. You can even set it up so the Windows Task Scheduler can run a basic task that starts when the computer starts.
  • Keyboard delay rate refers to the delay between the first key press and the start of the key input repeating itself. This is in milliseconds.
  • Keyboard repeat rate refers to the delay between the first repeated key press and the subsequent repeated key press. This is in milliseconds.
Usage:
keyrate <delay in ms> <repeat in ms>
If you don't give any parameters, it will revert back to the Windows default keyboard delay and repeat rates. For Ubuntu keyboard speed rates, set it to:
keyrate 150 10
Change the values higher or lower to your preference.
