What it changes
Repeat delay: shortest Repeat rate: fastest
Before anything is written, the review screen shows this setting's current value on your PC next to the new one.
Why it helps
Held keys repeat sooner and faster (menus, text, some games).
Trade-offs
Accidental repeated characters while typing.
Evidence
Strong evidence means: documented by microsoft or consistently measurable. Expected impact is small (1 of 3): how much it can matter when this is actually the bottleneck on your PC, not a promised gain.
Is it in a pack?
Yes. It's in the Gaming performance pack, so that pack and Optimize everything include it. You can still untick it in the review screen.
How to undo
Switch the tweak off in Nexus, or open Restore Center and restore this change (or choose Undo last change). Nexus writes back the original value it recorded before applying, not a generic default, then reads it back to confirm.
