Hi,

 

Anyone found a way of changing the repeat-rate for an external keyboard (Bluetooth) on Android?  Android seems to be fairly bereft of any options.

 

My client is using an ATEN switch [1] – so he can use his bigkey keyboard to access his PC and his tablet (Android – running HouseMate for EC through a joystick through a PG Omni IOM!).

 

This ALMOST works well!

 

He had used the BigKeys device [2] but to switch the ATEN you need to pres Alt+F2, which is very hard using BigKeys.  So, we switched to the JumboXl. HOWEVER!  This has no inbuilt keyboard repeat rate setting – so he is having problems on the tablet with repeated keystrokes.

 

Any ideas welcome!

 

Cheers,

Simon
