I'm looking for a driver or extension or whatever that will let me adjust
the debounce time for my keyboard in OS X. That is, I want to be able to
tell the OS not to accept another press of the same key unless it is some
minimum amount of time after the previous press of that key.

I've been getting double leettters (wow that actually came out like that;
it's a good example, so I won't correct it) a lot these days, and on several
different Macs and keyboards. I can't even perceive the repeat, but it
happens. It's like a "stutter-press" or something. Anyway, there's no way
I'll ever manually need to press the same key within X milliseconds of the
last press (except maybe for games :-) so I'd really like to be able to
adjust this delay. Any ideas?

(Universal Access only lets me set a delay before the *first* keypress is
registered, which is definitely not what I want...)

Go into the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane, and change the 'Delay Until Repeat' setting and/or change the 'Key Repeat Rate' setting. Should do it for ya.
