Description Jeffry Johnston 2012-12-27 20:45:12 CST

I have my keyboard repeat delay set to a low value and repeat rate set to a higher value than the defaults. When I unplug my USB keyboard and plug it back in, the keyboard feels sluggish, because the keyboard reverts to default values for repeat delay and repeat rate. Re-applying the keyboard settings in control center restores the keyboard to normal operation.

I confirm this. Every time external keyboard is plugged in delay and repeat from KControl settings no longer apply to it.

I'm also experiencing this bug, it is very annoying. I have a laptop with keypress delay rate set to 200ms and repetition frequency 30/s (TDE Control Center -> Peripherials -> Keyboard).  I often connect an external keyboard since it's more convenient to use. When I do that the first keypress on that external keyboard takes noticeably longer to repeat. What I mean by that is that if I hold a key on an external keyboard then repeating the press for the first time takes about 800ms-1s, and then subsequent repetitions work as expected. Note that nothing changes for the laptop's builtin keyboard - the first repetition takes 200ms as expected. To fix the problem I need to go to TDE Control Center -> Peripherials -> Keyboard and re-apply the setting of 200ms. Once that is done the key delay on external keyboard works as expected, but I need to do this every time I connect the external keyboard.

I'm doing this now via pulling yakuake and calling xset. Still annoying, but much faster.  
In your case you need to call `xset r rate 200 30` to match rate and delay for all of your connected keyboards.

Indeed, that works and is faster. Thanks!
