Okay, this is like a tech support kinda question but idk where the hell to ask it so I am gunna ask it here. My old keyboard died a couple of days ago. Just gave up the ghost, and I cursed the gods and got out my bluetooth keyboard. I had been using my lappy exclusively (so not using an external keyboard) but hooked it up to my monitor and started jamming away on the bigger screen. It’s further away from my face, so I sometimes miss typos (or just can’t spell and fk auto-correct). But I have also been noticing letters flipping from time to time at random. Just having a blast. I’ve got a real stream of conciousness way of thinking/typing/talking/existing - yada, yada! So I am not catching this stuff until later and tsk, tsking and going back and fixing it. Now I am wondering if I am experiencing rampant levels of dyslexia or if others know about some weird latancy issues with bluetooth keyboards where someone could type faster than the output so stuff gets jumbled? Cause idk, but like…hell idk. Doesn’t hurt to ask?

So yeah, anyone know about this. Either way, not crying over it. Cause what am I gunna do? Keyboard does what it needs to…so yeah. Just find it weird, but maybe also I am typing WHOLE FREAKIN’ NOVELS for every comment so shit gets messed up more. Eh.

    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.
