How can you increase the rate of the keys you are allowed to type in Ubuntu's KDE?

In K → Computer → System Settings → Keyboard & Mouse → Keyboard, under Keyboard Repeat, there is a setting called Rate, which you can increase by dragging the slider.

On KDE 4.13.3 (Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.5), Keyboard Repeat can be found in:
K → Computer → System Settings → Hardware → Input Devices → Keyboard

Or use xset r rate [delay ms] [rate] – ubombi – 2017-08-22T10:07:50.890

This is strange. I do not have the keyboard -option at the left-hand side for some reason. I have only the other four. - I use the "glassy" kde in Ubuntu 9.10. What is your distro? – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 – 2010-01-18T19:17:50.913

I use various ones, I'm not sure if I installed it on my LFS build or Arch, but I think it was Arch: http://archlinux.org
