Bluetooth keyboard has typing delay or lag
Your keyboard is losing its connection or has a low battery. Charge it fully, turn it off and on again, and check the connection on your device. This fixes it for most users.
Bluetooth keyboard lag happens when the wireless connection is unstable or the battery is running low. The keyboard is still connected but can't send your keystrokes fast enough. We'll charge it, reconnect it, and clear out any connection problems.

- Not fully charging the keyboard before testing. It needs at least 2 hours of charge to send keystrokes reliably.
- Moving other Bluetooth devices away but not realizing the keyboard itself is the source of interference. Keep the keyboard within 10–15 feet of your device.
