Using either of these is sure way to disturb the Mac bluetooth signal, which sits right below (and a little to the left) of the USB-A ports. There are keyboards out there, that use their own Bluetooth receiver or even a Wi-Fi receiver (both of course are also sending).
It is a shielding problem of the plug, so, essentially, the Mac hardware.īecause it is a shielding problem, all solutions try to reduce whatever frequency distorts it:
There is a lot of misconception out there. if you can't, use whatever you want to plug in with a cable extension. (which is normal people don't post 'no problems', why should they)Īnd the workaround still works fine: avoid using the USB-A ports, if possible. Yes, but it's not as bad as the impression you might get by following the reddit subs like r/MacOS, r/osx, r/mac, r/macmini etc.
