    Here's a interesting question for you.

    i have two connected keyboards, USB and ps/2. i want to have different repeat rate for the two. One slower, one faster. But it seems that i can only adjust the global repeat rate. Anyone knows how to set specific repeat rate for each keyboard?

    Depending on your keyboard type and manufacturer, you may have specific drivers/utilities for it. One such utilities could be a control program in the System Tray to configure media keys and other options. Perhaps you can modify the typing rate of that keyboard that way.

    If this was the case, see if you can use the global settings for one of the keyboards, and the utility's for the other.

    I'm curious, what manufacturer and model are both keyboards? If one is wireless, chances are you'll have a utility similar to what I described.
