bluetooth disconnect intermittent issues | reddit
started noticing intermittent keyboard focus issues on mac + keychron q1 HE
I'm losing it sometimes copy paste doesnt work and i have to wait like 5 - 9 secs for it to regain its connection
I have only changed one thing overall, that is my mac has been more lid close clamshell mode but it was working just fine before.
I don't have multiple bluetooth devices attached tho, might have to start using unifi 2.4ghz adapter it comes with.

Firmware
the Quantum Mechanical Keyboard firmware is a fork of the TMK firmware made by Hasu. It's got a lot of new features and compatibility with a lot more keyboards. It makes the firmware very programmable. VIA builds upon that with a standalone GUI, and features lots of many new add-ons like plug and play (no flashing), RGB controls, switch tester, etc.
QMK and VIA are two separate packages however VIA is built on QMK. Watch some MechMerlin videos on YouTube - he explains them very well.
