How to permanently set Keyboard settings Delay and Rate?

Hello.
I need help on how to change my Keyboard settings permanently.

For some of my games i get keyboard lag which I usually fix by lowering the default keyboard Rate to around 10.
My normal workaround is to go the GUI route.

Manjaro Settings Manager / Keyboard Setting.

This will reset on reboot so I have to change it every time.
I have tried to make changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf but with no luck. That time i followed these instructions from the Arch wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg/Keyboard_configuration

I noticed while writing this post that there were another wiki page that uses a kbdrate.service solution which I have not tried.

If any one know the best way to do this I would much appreciate the help

Hi @RichiG84,

In general outputs from whatever *-=fetch program you use, like the one provided above is of little to no use. Therefore, in the future, please see:

However, I have a custom keyboard delay/repeat rate as well, and I recommend using this method you mentioned:

In Gnome, I have no idea what to set where as I use Plasma.

Thank you!
This solved the issue.

I can add that I did not know that i could find the GUI settings for typing under

Settings > Accessability > Typing > Repeat Keys

After setting the exact values with gsettings i could verify the change in the GUI.
Can also verify that the change was saved after reboot
