And you don't undersand what a keyboard repeat rate is.

This following code proved that WaitForSingleObjectEx() responds at the
keyboard repeat rate. Just press a key and watch it repeat at the
repeat rate.

OPTION PROLOGUE:NONE
OPTION EPILOGUE:NONE

PollForKeyStroke proc keynum:DWORD

push esi
mov esi, rv(GetStdHandle,STD_INPUT_HANDLE)
@@:
invoke FlushConsoleInputBuffer,esi ; clear input buffer
invoke WaitForSingleObjectEx,
esi,INFINITE,0 ; wait for keystroke
print str$(eax),13,10
jmp @B

pop esi

ret

PollForKeyStroke endp

OPTION PROLOGUE:PrologueDef
OPTION EPILOGUE:EpilogueDef

It does, it just happens to be ajustable as well and forces a yield.

============================
Whether they're for internal use and should be ignored is irrelevant
here,
they *are* inserted in the console message queue, they *will* trigger
WFSO,
and they *will* show up when you call ReadConsoleInput.

Ah Microsoft, you are wrong again, f0dder has spoken.

So does WaitForSingleObjectEx(). No mouse movement or button clicking
will trigger WaitForSingleObjectEx(). Try it while
WaitForSingleObjectEx() is waiting and nothing happens. :)

Whoever said that it did ? I recommended checking on the code for
_getch instead of some of the crap you have posted.
