Title: Can a bluetooth keyboard (with wired opt) still work after the bluetooth fails?
Post by: BitterMango on Wed, 21 August 2019, 14:42:40

As in the title. I have an Akko 3068 on the way, but I (perhaps late) wonder if they keyboard is even usable if the bluetooth and/or battery should fail?

I would assume that putting in the cable would just make any board work properly bluetooth or no, but perhaps I'm wrong.

From a vendor's site:

Supports Bluetooth and USB Type-C wired mode dual mode connection. Long press Fn + TAB can switch the connection between Bluetooth mode and wired mode.

Otherwise, that is something that is different between different Bluetooth devices.
Many Bluetooth devices use the USB port only for charging while others treat USB as another host it has paired with and could switch to at any time.
