What's even more funny is that ever since I set this up and the keyboard gets disconnected multiple times in a row, it seems to stop trying for a moment.

As if it were upset and it's now pouting in a corner. Drama queen.

So over the course of a day downstairs I see small attempts that would result in a notification:

"Seb's Keyboard connected!"

...immediately followed by:

"Seb's Keyboard disconnected."

And I smirk. Every time.

Screw you keyboard, we'll see each other when you're actually useful!

ELSE, disconnect the keyboard.

because if the display isn't there, by definition, is that I'm not at my desk, and don't need that keyboard, so please disconnect.

So I fired up BetterTouchTool and I have been setting up an automation with a bit of triggering logic. The trigger is "if Apple Keyboard connects, check display name".

There if the display name is equal to my desk's display then leave it connected (it's a Gigabyte "M27Q". I know none of you care. It's okay.)

So I decided you know what… I'm not letting it slide. No. Hell No.

I would wrestle the very laws of physics into submission before admitting defeat over an input device from a company with a fruit logo.

I could ignore that, sure, but... If I leave it be, while this flat-keyed moron is connected to my laptop, it is draining his battery due to the (far fetched) connectivity. By the time I actually DO use the keyboard upstairs it is dead before I could even type "Hey guys I won't make it to the daily".

I then need to plug it to charge it, which kind of defeats the purpose of a wireless keyboard doesn't it.

Like I'm downstairs literally 12 meters away yet that idiot keyboard will happily oblige and reconnect from the attic to the laptop again and again, all day every day.

You know, for those times where you want to type something when you're too far to even SEE your fucking screen.

You see for once Apple **DID** go too far in quality. Because Apple's keyboards have amazing connectivity. And with "amazing" I mean, "abandonment issues".

This thing CLINGS FOREVER to my MacBook everywhere in the house even if I'm walking 2 stories below it.
