Repeated Keys in VI Client ESX

If you use a RDP session or IP KVM to access a VM via VMware VI Clients you very often "Rrreeepeaaattiiiiingggg kkkkeeyssssss"

The solution is the following, but it needs to be done on every VM:

1. Power off the virtual machine
2. Add a line similar to the following at the end of your .vmx file

   keyboard.typematicMinDelay = "2000000"
   

   The delay is in milliseconds, the above value is 2 seconds, so it should fix it. However if you need repeating keys this can be long, but judge for yourself.

3. Power on the virtual machine

This should solve your issues
