Typing delay w/ BT keyboard and N800
 

Has anyone else experienced this?

If I use my ThinkOutside BT keyboard with my N800, there is a small timelag between keypress and character appearing on screen. Not much, but noticeable (and therefore annoying).

I never had this with my 770. Did Nokia use the BT plugin code from the ITOS 2006 platform, or did they write a new applet?

I too have the ThinkOutside BT keyboard. There is a VERY slight delay, but this is not too annoying for me. Could be that I do not type as fast as you ;-)

It is either the Keyboard has to wake up the BT connection or the BT connect is temporarily lost. Either way, the keyboard has a small buffer and caches your keystokes for awhile until you have your BT back on-line.

You could try to adjust the sleep time from the connections panel but I don't see a direct way to adjust the BT timeout interval (yet).

I've got a Sierra keyboard and the latency's only very tiny when using notepad for example but much larger when using xterm. If I use it with my desktop there's no latency at all that I can see.

I'm thinking of getting myself a BT keyboard of some kind (though I found the Nokia one a tad expensive..), so I'm very interested in anything you BT keyboard owners can find out about any such problems.. thanks in advance! :D

I don't think it's a buffered delay: it's only a minute fraction of a second long but, as I said, still long enough to bug me (then again, people think I'm easily bugged).

Still, this did not happen with my 770 (same keyboard) and the community BT plugin, which tends cynical old me to suspect that -- again -- Nokia chose to ignore the community effort and went along and developed their own, crappy version.

shucks, should have done a more thorough search before making a new thread.

anyway, yes i experience this lag you speak of. It's more of an intermitten lag of sort. Like if you type really fast, the letters start to display in blocks instead of individual characters.

Quite annoying when i programme.

I've got the same keyboard and noticed the delay, but since I touch type without looking at the keyboard OR the screen, I don't really care because by the time I look at the screen, it's already got the last letter.

Maybe you should take a typing course ;-)

j/k

I just chalked it up to bluetooth delay, but again, I rarely watch the screen and never watch the keyboard. It certainly doesn't cause me to mistype anything, nor do I have to wait even a half a second for it to catch up to my typing.
