Or . . . do you ever run into any difficulty when you're typing? For instance - do you ever accidentally hold a key down for too long of a time period and then all of a sudden you end up with a line of the same letter? ( You know, something like mmmmmmm, etc. ) This kind of thing happens all the time but luckily, there is a way to fix it.

‡ To change the way Windows handles any repeated keystrokes on your keyboard you will need to use the Filter Keys feature. To get there go to Start, Control Panel and click on the Accessibility Options link. Click Accessibility Options again and then go under the Keyboard tab. In the middle you will see the Filter Keys area. Checkmark the box that says “Use Filter Keys” to activate it. You can then click on the Settings button to add your own preferences.

‡ You can either set the Filter Keys to “Ignore repeated keystrokes” or you can have it “Ignore quick keystrokes and slow down the repeat rate.” Choose the one that is going to work the best for you. Click OK twice when you're done.

Keep in mind that the Filter Keys option may not be good for everyone but if you're just beginning to type it will be a good starting point. When you are more comfortable with the keyboard you can then go in and turn it off, if that is what you prefer.
