The above image is from the Ubuntu Settings page for Power. Under devices it shows a wireless keyboard with a 60% green bar. What does it indicate ? It certainly is not the power left in the keyboard because a new or a old battery still shows the same green bar at 60%. I am actually looking for a soln to connectivity issues with my wireless keyboard. My keyboard on a random basis becomes unresponsive and starts dropping characters when typing. Many a times after a long typing gap when I start typing, the characters take a few seconds to show up on the monitor instead of immediately as I start typing and sometimes the first few characters are just dropped. eg If I intend to type "The quick brown fox" it will start printing the chars from "e quick brown fox". Any way to improve the response between the keyboard the unifying receiver ? I have a K270 keyboard from Logitech. Any solns from anyone having similar issues ?

As far as the connectivity, t is the timeout that is stopping it. It is the sleep timeout, and it is intended behavior.

After 10 sec without a key press, it shuts down into sleep mode. To get it to wake, you just press another key, but it takes a full 3 seconds, usually, to power back on.

This is all to save on battery power. Changing the behavior depends on the model of keyboard. Some are configurable, and others are not. You will need to research your device online.
