Is there a way to stop autorepeat if a button is pressed and hold? I haven't found an option in the JSON docs. Only for IR and macro.

What action do you have assigned for the button?  For keyboard and joystick actions, it's not really possible to have an auto-repeat option on the device side, because auto-repeat for those is handled purely on the host (Windows) side.  This isn't a Pinscape thing, it's just the way USB defines the standard keyboard and gamepad interfaces.  At the USB level, keyboard keys and joystick buttons can only be UP (not pressed) or DOWN (pressed), so auto-repeat isn't even a concept there.  All of the auto-repeat behavior for keyboard keys and gamepad buttons is handled either in the Windows keyboard subsystems or at the application level.

 

If you can describe the specific problem you're trying to solve, I might be able to offer some other way to approach it.
