True; on the other hand, I have seen protocols that send the burst only once for each key stroke. That is, if the receiver misses the beginning of the stream (or any part in between, for that matter), it will not respond till the key is released, and pressed again. These protocols usually send the actual data once, and then just a simple pulse every few ms to indicate the key being still pressed.
