Inserting Delays
The KB170 can rapidly send a long series of keystrokes to the PC. At times the
PC, no matter how fast, will be unable to keep up. To give the PC a breather,
you can insert delays between your keystrokes. An example of where this is
useful is when launching programs from the Windows Run command. If you
wanted to launch Notepad.exe on XP by strictly typing,
one could press and release the Windows key
,
followed by r for Run

, then
notepad.exe and finally Enter to activate the OK button.
Compared to your KB170, it may take your PC quite a while to perform some of
these steps. Inserting delays will make the operation successful every time.

In Windows 7 and later you must leave out the “r for Run” and just type notepad.exe then Enter. The Win
key is a special key and requires more care. Read the Advanced section for more detail.
