Leadshine CS3E-D1008 not running smoothly [SOLVED]

oh man, thanks!!!!!

For anybody following this: xset -r controls the auto-repeat of a key. From the manual: The r option controls the auto-repeat. Invoking with "-r", or "r off", disables auto-repeat, whereas "r", or "r on" enables auto-repeat.

Linux xset manpage

Issue solved!!
