Apple Bluetooth keyboard misbehaving

Hi, so sometimes my bluetooth keyboard starts typing weird letters as if the layout changed and its in another setting. The F1-12 shortcuts behaves different and opens settings and display settings. Cannot really explain it more.


If I then check the bluetooth icon on the status bar. it shows addresses and other information that is normally hidden. Same with the connected devices, shows what their signal is as well. See attached screenshots.


Once I disconnects and reconnects I am able to work for a few minutes but then it go's back. My other conclusion is that something is interfering.


Bluetooth devices connected.

Magic mouse,

Keyboard

Sony earphones.


This is how it reacts when it is typing weird characters.
