How to Adjust Laptop Keyboard Sensitivity

Sept. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- How can you adjust the sensitivity of the keys on a laptop keyboard? Or you're really frustrated by your new laptop like an old typewriter. Is there any way to adjust keyboard sensitivity, or what? Don't worry, this guide will allow you on the go.

Windows controls how long you must hold down a key before it repeats, along with the key repeat speed. If characters repeat too quickly or slowly when you hold down a key, open the Control Panel and then open the Keyboard entry. Choose the Speed tab and move the sliders for Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate until you've adjusted them to your style. The Repeat Delay slider determines how long you must hold down a key before it begins repeating, and the Repeat Rate determines how quickly repeated characters appear on-screen. Click Apply when you're finished.

The only practical solutions would be:
1. Replace the keyboard.  A new keyboard is usualy less sensitive though.  
2. Tighten the fasteners inside. If the laptop is an older one you may try opening the unit up and tightening the screws that hold the keyboard up to the key frame.  

Other than that you are looking at a custom designed short run membrane which will cost thousands.  It is cheaper to get a new laptop keyboard in that case. Papatek.com compatible laptop keyboard is your good choice.
