I have a wireless magic keyboard that has been fine for a couple years. It was used first with my Mac Pro and later with the mini since May of last year. Recently there have been intermittent periods when typing becomes very slow and unreliable. Everything will be fine as at present, then suddenly it will become very laggy across all apps creating various difficulties.
At times the special characters will pop up when pressing a normal key and there might be a delay, followed by multiple spaces or characters and it becomes nigh on impossible to edit. Later on all will return to normal for a day or so.
This started under Big Sur, then continued with Monterey and right now it's perfect, but ten minutes ago it was playing up. I switched off Bluetooth then enabled it again and it is OK.
Yesterday I gave it a good clean in case that was the issue and it seemed to be great afterwards until this morning, but now I am thinking the temporary fix was simply turning it off and on again. This has generally been reliable with the mini, so the recent random behaviour has been confusing. Is this simply one of the infamous Bluetooth issues or possibly something else?
