There’s the latency, and there’s also the unreliable connection, it’s just not as stable as the mice with dedicated dongles. And it’s more vulnerable to interference. Battery life is FAR superior on Bluetooth, though; that’s the main upside.
As said latency wasn’t an issue for me, bluetooth connection is super stable at least on linux, have never noticed interference so far. What was the keyboard did u use?
Latency and stability are different things. Latency is how long keystrokes or mouse movement take to get to your computer. Instability would manifest as INCORRECT or entirely missed keystrokes or mouse movements. Bluetooth is also more vulnerable to interference from things like microwaves, another thing that might cause instability.
Bluetooth keyboards (usually Logitech) have worked okay for me in the past, but they don’t always reliably wake up from sleep and connect quickly when I try to use them. Bluetooth mice are a bigger concern to me, they feel noticed slower and my mouse makes jerky movements. You’ll notice that nearly all gaming mice have a dongle so that you can avoid Bluetooth.
Mate I use a bt kb I obviously know the difference what I said was those issues you mentioned isnt an issue for me. Latency is not noticeable AND it’s stable. I don’t have an microwave next to my pc and other bluetooth devices and wifi doesn’t seem to be an issue either. Mine can be configured to completely disable sleep as well and has 3750 mah so it won’t die easily. I am using fairly new rk84 atm, even if any of the issues develops in the future I can just switch to 2.4 or wired anyway.
But BT suuuuucks
It’s perfectly fine for me. I press a key and its there on screen. The latency is hardly noticeable and doesn’t hamper me in any meaningful way.
