Killing the 3.5mm Jack: How Simple Is Changing into Needlessly Complicated

I've also had bad luck with Bluetooth phone stuff.

On the other hand, my Bluetooth Mac keyboard seems rock-solid (other than dying when the battery goes dead, of course). I don't recall it ever losing its pairing.

On the third hand, a Bluetooth iPad keyboard (not Apple-made) we had at a place I used to work was total crap. You could figure on having to go through the pairing process at least once a day.

I haven't used an Apple Bluetooth keyboard but did use an Apple Bluetooth mouse some years ago that had endless loss of connection issues.

Other non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards also have this issue, where I'll be typing and it randomly loses connection mid-word, then sometimes comes back after a few seconds and other times just decides it's not going to turn back on without manually turning it off and on and fiddling with Bluetooth settings on the computer before it finally returns, or not.
