USB Keyboard suddenly looses connection in Q4OS Aquarius KDE

Hello forum,
First time posting here and first time user of Q4OS.
I have installed Q4OS Aquarius running with KDE desktop environment, using the windows installer.
I really like the snappy and responsive OS operation, but there are some issues arising.
The most irritating of those issues, is that my fully functional USB keyboard (test in Win10 dual boot), suddenly looses connection, and i cannot type.
I have to constantly reboot to have the USB keyb function for a while.
Same think happens with my Bluetooth keyboard, that looses connection as the Bluetooth dongle connection (ASUS BT500) is been killed after a while.
This behavior, happens, either being live in a session, or return from hibernation.
I would be grateful, if someone can help, with a working solution to fix this keyb issue, as I really like this distro and would like to remain an active user.

You didnt mention what type of USB keyboard you are using. The Asus BT500 bluetooth dongle may need a driver for it to work properly. I believe Asus has drivers but you may need to check to see whats available. Not sure if newer kernels would help but doing some research you should be able to find that out.
