Bluetooth keyboards and IOS - I'm getting missed key presses when typing, normal?

iOS and iPadOS

Hi,

I'm trying to declutter and use my phone as a work device with a bluetooth keyboard. What I've found, however, is using both my Logitech Keys MX for Mac and Satechi Slim bluetooth keyboard, results in letters or key presses being dropped. it does seem to be that the spacebar is the biggest culprit resulting in exceedingly long and confusing words.

I've tested both keyboards on my mac and don't have the same issue.

I'm a resasonibly fast touch typist, but dont' think I'm anywhere near the speed it would begin to affect things. Is it a bug of voiceover? Is it a bug of IOS? More importantly, are there any solutions? Could, for example, the purchase of a shiny new apple keyboard help me here, or is this just one of those things.

Unfortunately I've not been able to test on iPad, but that seems mad it would be the same. There must be loads of you who use bluetooth keyboards with your iPads and I've not read of any issues, so it might be restricted to mac.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
