Charging while using the UHK 80?

Hi,

When using the UHK 80 wirelessly either RF or Bluetooth can one continue use when the batteries drain by connecting both halves to a computer to recharge AND continue to use the keyboard while charging?

I’m looking to avoid needing to unplug a proprietary dongle and connect usb cables up to it in order to regain connectivity while charging.

I’m looking for plug and play compatibility so if I am working and the battery runs low or dies that I can just connect each half to a computer and have it charge up ( could still be connected wirelessly - unsure if this connection and use type is currently able to be handled )

At the moment no. (More precisely, dongle (which is also bluetooth, not radio) no, bluetooth HID may or may not work.)

But I am working on connection management right now, which will give you the ability. (It will allow you to configure connection priorities, behavior when the host connects - whether to switch over to it or no, as well as switch hosts via macros.)

I.e., patience please, in something like a week or three, it should be available.

Hi Karel,

Thank you for the response.

I did not mean to infer that there was any immediate expectation or timetable :slight_smile: I have just run into this question / issue with a different split keyboard manufacturer who has not been entirely transparent about their charging and usage feature with regards to charging over usb while still being connected via bluetooth / wireless.

t’s refreshing and a pleasant surprise to hear that something like this is already under ongoing development so the folks at UHK are aware.

To be honest, we are implementing it for other reasons entirelly, but now that you say that, yes, no problem, it is going to be supported :slight_smile:
