Repetition delay when holding a button hurts my PC, help!

[reWASDer]

Hm, that sounds strange. reWASD imitates the physical keyboard just like it works usually.
We will check this issue in the game and I'll get back to you then.

There's one thing I need to be sure. Have you unmapped your Paddle when you add J mapping to it? If the Paddle is not unmapped, then it fires one of the diamond buttons too, so that may be a reason of additional presses.

Hello,
This is a standard delay (500ms) like keyboard has. You may press "J" button on the keyboard and hold a bit a get same issue. Perhaps the paddle wasn't just pressed but hold a bit.
As for Apex chat, maybe it reacts some differently, will check it in the game.

Thank you for the answer.

So I tested keyboard vs reWASD in the Notepad: reWASD types like twice faster than keyboard when you hold a key. Doing this in the chat of Apex makes the PC mad. I didn't tried to hold it long in the Notepad.

Can I hope a patch on this? It is really inconvenient because I often press the paddles or the sticks without noticing it.

Hi,

New to ReWASD, I may miss something here but I really tried to solved my problem diving into the software.

So J is mapped to a back paddle of the Elite gamepad. I use it for crouch/slide in Apex and it works fine. BUT when I open the chat I often press on the back paddle and it types JJJJJJJJJJ so quickly that my PC is crazy and emit weird sounds.

It's a problem known with macros where the shortest delays can kill a PC. I see that you can set the delays in the softfare when configuring a macro but how can I change the delay here with a simple mapping?

Please help!
