Bluetooth 4.1 -vs- 5.0 ???

jgbout · 03-09-2021, 01:54 PM

In my ongoing and painful decision between the Likebook Alita and Boox Note 3 for word processing with a keyboard (bluetooth), I have a Real-World and only regarding the effect on typing lag with a BT keyboard...

How much effect with the difference between having BT 4.1 or 5.0 make on keyboard typing latency?

Thank you

You can't type that fast.

You mean 4.1 reduces speed? it doesn't make a difference, or you can't type fast in general? videos of Note 2 and 3 and an older 7.8" i saw, the basic typing speed of the person typing, that was fine for me.

Im just wondering if the delay between typing and what appears is much different between 4.1 and 5 BT, or if in reality it doesn't matter.

The speed increase in 5.0 is for audio, not typing. Read about Bluetooth in our wiki.
