The last Bluetooth dongle I bought cost less than a fiver.
I've always found bluetooth keyboards and mice to be a bit shonky anyway. And to be fair, its not the fault of your motherboard, more your choice of keyboard!
Which bluetooth keyboard is it?
Stonehedge-
It is my choice... entirely... :-(
Keyboard is this: https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-mechanical-keyboard
I also have a trusted wired keyboard anyway...

Yes, I chose this motherboard because of the onboard Bluetooth and Wifi as it's non either equivalent was like £30 less, so I thought why not... obviously, I thought wrong, should have bought the Bluetooth and WiFi adaptors separately... lesson learnt.
So no direct solution to it other than getting a USB Bluetooth receiver, but it's OK, just remember my good mouse is a dual bluetooth / USB one, so will use the USB on that and don't ever try to wake the machine using the keyboard...
Or buy a receiver... or steal 1 from work... There's gotta be some laying around... Surly! I might even have 1 in my work drawers somewhere... I hoard computer cables / adaptors stuff at work...
