Hi there, unfortunately I've discovered that, while the Recreated works fine with ZX81, in Zx Spectrum core - after 20 minutes (plus or more) of use, it loses systematically the connection...

That is an odd problem, almost sounds like some kind of power saving thing. I hope @pgimeno will be able to fix that.
I can't reproduce; I left the core running overnight and it kept working this morning. Could it be a temperature problem? Do you have a fan?
I have tested extensively and the same problem occurs for the Zx81 core, but I don't think it is a real disconnection problem, because when the keyboard suddenly no longer works within a game, if I go back to the core menu and switch the keyboard to layer "B", the keyboard works correctly in the menu (but not in the game)...
The keyboard works with a Bluetooth dongle right? Maybe something is going on with that?

It can work either wired or wireless. I haven't tried the wireless mode, everything I use is wired.
@AmintaMister, do you use it in wired or wireless mode?

Wireless mode but... wait, the wired mode isn't only for recharge?

I don't think so, it's a new abouth Edimax and I've tried also the ASUS and in layer B the connection is still present...

Not at all. I don't even have a Bluetooth dongle connected to the MiSTer. My Recreated (and everything else I have connected - keyboard, mouse, controllers) communicates directly via USB.
Could you try connecting it with a USB cable to see if that changes anything?

Sure, I will, event tonight if I can, and I'll let you know for sure, thanks!
Ok, I've just made an hour-session of playing both with Zx Spectrum and Zx81 core and all it works without disconnections, thanks! So I think the problem it's only in bluetooth mode... Sorry my fault, I didn't know that I can use the keyboard in USB mode too!
