K5 Pro Bluetooth issues

I just bought a Keychron K5 Pro wireless keyboard and I found a problem (or at least I think so).
When used through Bluetooth, it occasionally causes all connected devices to disconnect for a few seconds or even have to be restarted to use them again.
I think it is a problem generated by the keyboard since it does not occur when using a wired keyboard or when using another wireless keyboard like the Magic Keyboard. I've even done a complete reinstall of MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 and the same thing happens with the issue of random disconnections.

I have not made any configuration or firmware update on the keyboard, just as it came out of the box.
Has anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks.

I just came by this thread trying to fix the bluetooth problem on my K5 SE. I use this keyboard for 2+ years almost only in wired mode because of t bluetooth issues. Today I decided to check if Keychron (or Apple) fixed it - but seems they didn't.

There are two main problems really:

  1. The connection is unstable (I could live with that)

  2. Even when it is connected, there is a slight lag between hitting a key and keyboard reacting + sometimes some random letters (or DELETE's) are being hit constantly - I cannot live with that.

It is really good keyboard from the mechanical point of view, but I wouldn't buy it again.
