any reason the cheapino would cause characters to be dropped with a wireless adapter? #96

so let me preface this by saying that the cheapino on a wired connection with my computer is flawless. every key registers. 100% reliable. a joy to type on.

however, i was very impatient for a wireless solution (and also wanted to avoid a massive programming re-do if i need to swap the chip and reflash it using something else) so i got this: https://www.wscome.com/product/highly-recommendedwired-keyboard-converted-to-wireless-keyboard-diy-kit-v4-version-dual-interface-supports-keyboard-and-mouse-conversion-at-the-same-time/

i tried it with another standard keyboard and it works flawlessly as expected and hoped for.

however, with the cheapino, it doesn't get 100% of the keystrokes. it's like 98%. and as you can imagine, when you're used to touch typing quickly, dropped letters and spaces are absolutely a no go.

so my question is, is there any reason why the cheapino would cause the wireless transmitter to miss keys? it's definitely not the same keys so it's not a matter of just specific keys not working. it's just that occasionally, the transmitter just doesn't catch a key.

the device is purported to work with the vast majority of keyboards on the market and i can concur at least with an external thinkpad keyboard that i had. but yeah, cheapino is giving it problems and would love if there was an easy to implement solution for this.

thanks much!
