I have two HP computers: Hp Envy Phoenix Desktop 860-180st and a HP Pavilion 15-n206nr Notebook. Both key boards have a problem with repeating keys. I enter a letter i.e. "f" and it may repeat several times.
My Desk top has a wireles keyboard (Kg-1450) and the Notebook has a built in key board. Any suggestion other than don't buy HP products. I have seen this same issue posted by several users on this forum.
Open to any suggestions
I had a Dell Desktop and laptop for almost 10 years until they just ran out of gas.

Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.
I see that your HP Keyboard inputs multiple characters while typing.
Do not worry I will be glad to help in filling up the gas!
If two or more characters appear when pressing a key, use the following steps to adjust the key repeat delay:
-
From Windows, search for open Keyboard.
-
On the Keyboard Properties screen, drag the Repeat delay slider to Long, and then click OK to save changes.
Figure : Changing the Character Repeat delay setting
