How can I fix keyboard chatter in software?

On Windows I use the linked program. I tried using KDE's accessibility settings but the lowest time it can do it 100 ms, which I naturally do on occasion (mashing backspace quickly, for example). Is there any other solution?

Partial workaround!

KDE Accessibility, enable bounce keys with less than 100 ms?

I think this phenomenon is more commonly referred to as bouncing. And you are looking to debounce an input. (Switches bounce, and relays chatter)
It may be worth looking into libinput for debounce parameters/tweaking. They may be hard coded.
It's not something I've messed around with on a PC. It's common issue when reading the raw state of a button, as an input on a microcontroller.
If your keyboard has configurable firmware, it could be an approach too.
- I have configurable firmware. I have a k type and that black one that looks the same (I forget the model name) https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-input-club-k-type-mechanical-keyboard
