envy 15 notebook keyboard sensitivity

[bharper0315]

I am having problems trying to type on my laptop. It seems that the sensitivity is low to where I will type a sentence out and many keys do not register being pressed. My laptop is less than 3 months old, slamming on the keys to get them to register I even pressed them is getting real old real quick. But when I go into the settings I cant seem to find where I would be able to change the sensitivity level on my keyboard, if its even possible. Id like to keep my keyboard working as long as possible without the keyboard getting ruined because of this issue. I ahve looked at other forums and blogs but have yet to find the solution for my type of laptop. If you could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

go to

Control Panel. In the search box, type keyboard, and then click Keyboard.

Under Character repeat, move the Repeat delay slider to the left or right to increase or decrease how long you must hold down a key before the keyboard character repeats, and then click OK.

Under Character repeat, move the Repeat rate slider to the left to make keyboard characters repeat more slowly, or move it to the right to make them repeat more quickly, and then click OK.

Use your HP Support Assistant and download new Bios and Drivers install it

This was an annoying problem and I'm really glad the fix was this simple.  It was interesting that there were only 4 settings instead of an infinite range.  Thanks for the help.
