Unusual Bluetooth performance Experiencing strange connection issues with Bluetooth devices.
I've tried various solutions to enhance the connection stability. I removed all drivers, used the default Windows ones, and even tested with manufacturer versions. I checked different ports on my motherboard and front panel, moved the dongle closer using a proper USB 3.0 cable, and ensured clear line of sight. Interestingly, other devices with this dongle worked perfectly without issues. The keyboard functions well after a successful connection.
I see two potential reasons. First, the radio signal might be weak. Bluetooth operates at a high frequency and has a limited range, making it susceptible to interference from objects that usually block radio waves. Second, the keyboard may lack a sophisticated Bluetooth chip. Because Bluetooth supports backward compatibility, older versions like Bluetooth 4.0 can sometimes connect with newer ones such as Bluetooth 4.1, though performance isn’t always consistent. If the keyboard uses a much older Bluetooth version, it could simply reflect its design limitations.
