You will perhaps understand that I don't want to experiment with
unplugging my own keyboard to see if this works :-) but look into
xset.  Manpage says, in part, ...

       r       The r option controls the autorepeat.  If  a  pre-
               ceding  dash or the 'off' flag is used, autorepeat
               will be disabled.  If no parameters  or  the  'on'
               flag  is  used,  autorepeat will be enabled.  If a
               specific keycode  is  specified  as  a  parameter,
               autorepeat  for  that  keycode  is enabled or dis-
               abled.  If the server  supports  the  XFree86-Misc
               extension,  then a parameter of 'rate' is accepted
               and should be followed by one or two numeric  val-
               ues.  The first specifies the delay before autore-
               peat starts and the second  specifies  the  repeat
               rate.
