[SOLUTION] Keyboard repeating letters


Recommended Posts

Randomly the keyboard will continually repeat a letter once pressed.

Stops once you hit another key.

Same behaviour weather using hardware or on screen keyboard.

Also noticed same behaviour on my Asus TX201LA when using hardware keyboard on android.

Current GBoard input language is set to English (Australian)

Current FxTec Pro1 input language is (Default)

I am unsure if the input language is the issue or something else?

See some thoughts about the same problem at these places:

POST 1

This is an Android issue with hardware keyboards.

Same issue on my ASUS TX201LA Tranformer Trio, running Android 4.2 and Windows 10

https://www.asus.com/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Trio_TX201LA/HelpDesk_Download/

The ASUS TX201LA runs two separate processors, one in the screen portion for Android and the other in the dock portion for Windows.

The ATK update for windows seemed to fix both that is coupled with the matching bios.

POST 2 & 3

Could be exacerbated by other programs e.g. Swift Key and Button Mapper

I feel it is more Bios or Firmware related though.

OTHER THEORY

Use "External Keyboard Helper" to adjust or disable key delays

I have downloaded this app and changed only the following settings, no root required.

1. >Choose keyboard layout >SELECTED [No remapping] (F(x)tec keyboard seems to function correctly with Fn keys)

2. >Advanced Settings >Key repeating >Key repeat delay > SELECTED No key repeating

3. No key repeating thus far, will keep this status up to date.

No key has repeated on my Pro1 software or hardware keyboard since installation and extensive use.
