However for some people it could save them some frustration.  Clicking on the ignore repeated keystrokes option Instructs your computer to ignore repeated keystrokes that occur in very rapid succession. In these cases,
    all but the first keystroke will be ignored. To adjust the interval at
    which repeated keystrokes are recognized, click Settings. This
    feature, also called BounceKeys, is useful for people who might
    unintentionally cause the keys to bounce when pressed or
    released due to involuntary hand movements.

    Checking the box next to -  ignore quick keystrokes and slow down
    the repeat rate box Instructs your computer to ignore keys that are
    pressed only briefly. To adjust how long a key must be pressed
    before the keystroke is accepted, click Settings. These features,
    sometimes referred to as RepeatKeys or SlowKeys, are useful for
    people who might press keys unintentionally because of involuntary hand movements.

    You can test your settings by typing in the text box.
