Bluetooth keyboard featuring a transmitter positioned above allows use while on my knees.
Hi, I've had a Logitech bluetooth keyboard for over ten years now and I use it with my television as the monitor. The thing sits in my lap and I find regularly that I'm typing stuff in that isn't appearing on the screen because my leg is blocking the transmitter. I can't be the only person who has had this problem but my googling has failed dismally. Is there a keyboard out there with a transmitter that will solve my problem please?
There are officially defined boundaries for the permitted transmission power.
Which Logitech keyboard model is suitable?
= = = =
Starting with the communication route:
Keyboard ~~ wireless ~~> Bluetooth dongle [Computer USB Port] Host Computer [Video port] ---- Video cable ---> TV
Is this correct?
= = = =
Other factors might contribute to the loss or delay in typing.
Make sure the keyboard batteries are fresh; depleted power can cause similar issues.
Where is the Bluetooth dongle located?
Probably in a back panel USB port on the host computer, though it might also be at the front.
Does the dongle become warm or hot during operation?
Testing with a USB extension cable can help. Move the dongle up and away from the host computer.
That way:
Keyboard ~~ wireless ~~> Bluetooth dongle
<----USB extension cable ----->
[Computer USB Port] Host Computer [Video port] ---- Video cable ---> TV
Removing it and relocating it will keep the dongle cooler and support transmission needs.
It's a Logitech K360 keyboard, and you're correct about the communication path. Moving the Logitech dongle from the back to the front of the PC resolved the issue. I'm just a bit confused about it. Thanks for your help.
