I've written a small service file to change my keyboard repeat rate - my default repeat rate with this keyboard is so fast I can only successfully enter my password about 50% of the time
[Unit]
Description=Configure keyboard repeat rate in tty
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/kbdrate -d 600 -r 30
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The problem is that this seems to be causing problems and delaying my boot, seems to make ntpd take much longer

I've spotted this in journalctl
Jan 26 20:25:51 Meyithi-PC kernel: atkbd serio0: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly.
Anybody know if there is a better way of setting my keyboard repeat rate or if the service file is wrong? Cheers.

This "Spurious ACK" is fine, it's just keyboard driver complaining that the keyboard acknowledges some command although the driver hasn't issued any.
I don't know why kbdrate delays boot, though. So far I've "upgraded" to systemd only one of my machines and I think I'll be looking for some distro which doesn't use it

I edited the service file so I could see how long it took and also tried to start it after the network was up
[Unit]
Description=Configure keyboard repeat rate in tty
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/kbdrate -d 600 -r 30
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And it shows the following
Startup finished in 1517ms (kernel) + 2656ms (userspace) = 4173ms
1009ms keyboard-repeat-rate-tty.service
276ms network.service
192ms systemd-remount-fs.service
179ms tmp.mount
173ms systemd-modules-load.service
150ms systemd-udev-trigger.service
133ms dev-hugepages.mount
96ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service
90ms var.mount
89ms systemd-sysctl.service
86ms dev-mqueue.mount
85ms store.mount
83ms lm_sensors.service
68ms bak.mount
66ms systemd-udevd.service
66ms sys-kernel-debug.mount
63ms cpupower.service
55ms home.mount
51ms systemd-logind.service
43ms ntpd.service
43ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
36ms systemd-user-sessions.service
35ms dnsmasq.service
Even slower, command executes immediately running manually in tty, have no idea why it takes so long when ran as a service, it's annoying
