Am I terribly, terribly dyslexic or is this bluetooth keyboard doing me wrong? (piefed.social)

Okay, this is like a tech support kinda question but idk where the hell to ask it so I am gunna ask it here. My old keyboard died a couple of days ago. Just gave up the ghost, and I cursed the gods and got out my bluetooth keyboard. I had been using my lappy exclusively (so not using an external keyboard) but hooked it up to my monitor and started jamming away on the bigger screen. It's further away from my face, so I sometimes miss typos (or just can't spell and fk auto-correct). But I have also been noticing letters flipping from time to time at random. Just having a blast. I've got a real stream of conciousness way of thinking/typing/talking/existing - yada, yada! So I am not catching this stuff until later and tsk, tsking and going back and fixing it. Now I am wondering if I am experiencing rampant levels of dyslexia or if others know about some weird latancy issues with bluetooth keyboards where someone could type faster than the output so stuff gets jumbled? Cause idk, but like...hell idk. Doesn't hurt to ask?

So yeah, anyone know about this. Either way, not crying over it. Cause what am I gunna do? Keyboard does what it needs to...so yeah. Just find it weird, but maybe also I am typing WHOLE FREAKIN' NOVELS for every comment so shit gets messed up more. Eh.

I'm super in love with the idea, I wonder if there's some kinda diy setup you could do. Just kinda like how people make streaming servers for their home. I just didn't even think about it. So it was a lovely idea. Big thanks for all the talk =)
