    I had a problem with my Bluetooth mouse where it would the device would have a tiny half second lag when moving it after sitting still for about 10 seconds. It took me a lot of on and off troubleshooting before I found out that Windows was putting the Bluetooth driver itself into sleep mode. Don’t ask me why Microsoft decided the default of that a Bluetooth driver needed to be put to sleep while plugged… But I’m sure those milliamps of power really improved performance /s

      You need every bit of juice, you wouldn’t want telemetry to miss any of your keystrokes and send that info to microsoft all incomplete. Think of all the productivity losses if one of the dozens of react appplications running on idle were to lag even more than they already do!
