Some Apollo keyboards do bounce.  Some switches do bounce.  That does not
mean that all keyboards do bounce.  Keyboard debouncing circuits have been
used in some keyboards FOR YEARS!  (Try to get keyboard bounce out of any
Tektronix keyboard).  This has nothing to do with key repeat rate.  It's the
difference between microseconds and miliseconds.
