Macbook Air Caps Lock Delay in Windows 8

caps-lockkeybindingskeyboardmacbook prowindows

I have remapped Caps Lock to Backspace in Windows 8 using SharpKeys on my Macbook Air, but there is a noticeable delay that prevents me from quickly pressing the key to backspace. The Delete has no such delay.

I have installed the Boot Camp Windows Support software.

Apparently this is a hardware limitation to prevent people from hitting Caps Lock, but OS X can get around it.

How can I prevent this delay on Windows 8?

The easiest solution would be to use a third party keyboard, although that can have its own disadvantages.
