This property indicates the time between each keystroke repeat message that is sent when a user presses and holds a key down. This is a value in the range from 0 (approximately 2.5 repetitions per second) through 31 (approximately 30 repetitions per second). The actual repeat rates are hardware-dependent and may vary from a linear scale by as much as 20%.

The SystemInformation.KeyboardDelay property indicates the length of time after a key is pressed and held down before keystroke repeat messages are sent by the operating system.
