I have a mechanical keyboard that also has a bluetooth mode. I tried it once and it‘s utter trash, i think my computer case may be blocking signals to my mainboard. That said i also had moments of single keystrokes not registering and sometimes multiple and even loss of signal for a solid 2 seconds. So i think bluetooth could be an issue.
Hey, hey - thanks for the response. I am being a terrible night owl and have to take my tired ass to bed (but my gal passed out a little while ago and I am sneaking in my "decompression" me time.). But! Thank you! I was suspecting it might be that. But idk, cause sometimes I get a touch of the dyslexia (but not too bad, but sometimes...my da has it for sure but I've always read a lot and I think that's helped). But anyways, maybe I'll grab another keyboard. I am just blown because it was a logitech and like..I always felt like I could depend on those but it blew the fk up in less than a year. I don't have the reciept or anything, so I can't much on this front. My gal is a tinkerer so maybe I'll toss it to her and she can poke around. But it's weird cause like...it was okay and then I came back and like - didn't do anything to it. It lives on my little baby desk. And it just didn't work anymore. Shrugs.
But I also just switched to Fedora and wasn't sure if I was having any issues with any of the hardware, but I updated everything so I think it's just the connection or something. Thanks again =)
You‘re welcome, don‘t worry :) Before tossing it away i would try a different bluetooth (if you can borrow one from a friend) keyboard and even try your keyboard on a different machine
Oh, I def wouldn't toss the bluetooth. But the keyboard I am not sure what to do with it. Makes me really flustered. But I am going to toss it at my gal either way and see what all she wants to/can do with it. Just kinda blows me because I've had Logitech stuff last for a hundred years. Idk if this is some weird pandemic kink or if logitech just kinda blows now?
*I use the bluetooth to write on my phone but I also am outside and like UP on my phone. Idk if it's a combination of distance, home chatter, hardware grumpies or what. But I am def typoing more than I think I typically do. But it could also be my setup, in which I sit pretty far back from my screen because I am using it from the floor. Dunno, but I don't remember having this issue before.
