 When Bounce Keys are active, the keyboard won't accept a keystroke until there has been a certain interval of time since the previous keystroke. The default interval is 500 milliseconds. You can move the slider with the mouse to adjust the length of time. When Bounce Keys are active, the keyboard won't accept a keystroke until there has been a certain interval of time since the previous keystroke.
