Not sure if anyone will see this since this community isn’t active, but I refuse to post on reddit.
It’s an ugly solution, yet so far the only one I’ve found that consistently works: Get a USB extension cord and plug the bolt receiver into that. Then place the receiver close to your keyboard.
I have noticed that both the Bolt Receiver and the older one seem to give issues when connected directly to rear/internal usb ports, it does make me feel like its some interference issue. I also recall the receivers used to come with extension cables but havent seen one in a while.
