Hi @Playwelltou ,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Regarding the behavior you described, it's possible that there could be a feature in the keyboard or driver settings that limits the key repeat duration. Some keyboards or operating systems have settings to control the repeat delay and rate for keys. It's also worth checking if there is any software 

If you can't find a setting that controls the key repeat duration and you suspect it might be a hardware issue

Remember to check for any firmware or driver updates for your keyboard and ensure that your operating system is up to date, as updates may address such issues.

Please refer below document  for the hardware test
