one of the things that keeps me from using Bluetooth for peripherals like mouse and keyboard is that it's bad and doesn't work well. If they improved on that problem I would probably use them

have been using a wireless keyboard and mouse for several months and can vouch

they are bad and don't work well.

love my keyboard suddenly cutting out mid-sentence and spamming fifty k's before not responding to any input for 5 seconds and then suddenly working normally again

love when my mouse randomly forgets its programmed sensitivity and flies across the screen and then goes back to normal one second later making me think I'm just going insane

Getting bluetooth audio devices that don't have a whole second of delay feels like winning the lottery. I have bluetooth earbuds that have nasty unusable delay, but bluetooth over-ear headphones that have basically none. Both Sony, released in the same year. No idea how or why they got it so different between the two

I have a Bluetooth Lenovo mouse that randomly crashes and resets instead of left clicking and I was so pissed off I got a USB Lenovo mouse that also randomly doesn't left click. I think I get why people preferred IBM's Thinkpad. You could say it clicked.

My Mx Master 2S has been pretty darn good. Its BTLE is fast at connecting/switching hosts, and its latency is acceptable. Bluetooth Classic was hoooorible for mice, and it is sometimes acceptable for keyboards. I think Logitech finally just came out with a BTLE keyboard, in the YOOL 2003Q3.

Gosh I wish that some (any) BT stack would treat a lack of communication with a keyboard as meaning "no we should not start autorepeeeeeeeeating keys yet".

Yeahhhhhhh lmao just the other day my Bluetooth controller decided to start re-enumerating ITSELF every five seconds, so not only can I not use, add, or remove Bluetooth devices, but my device manager would constantly refresh in an infinite loop until I managed to right-click on the bastard fast enough and disable him. Now I just… don’t have Bluetooth.
