Is it not possible to use multiple BlueTooth devices at the same time on an iPad air?

Hello.

Is it not possible to use multiple BlueTooth devices (wireless Targus keyboard input + wireless audio device) at the same time on an iPad air (model ME993LL/B, A1475, 1st gen. model. It has iOS v12.4.7, 16 GB storage, and Verizon Wireless cellular (4G LTE) from early 2015)? https://www.quora.com/How-many-Bluetooth-devices-can-the-iPad-connect-too-at-the-same-time says it needs BlueTooth v5.0 and this iPad air only has v4.0 according

to https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ipad/specs/apple-ipad-air-1st-gen-a1475-wi-fi-cellular-lte-specs.html.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

After getting answers from my https://www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comments/gryf6l/is_it_not_possible_to_use_multiple_bluetooth/ thread and messing with another BlueTooth audio output device for another 30 minutes, I finally got them to work together. BT's audio outputs weren't working even with the BT keyboard off. Sheesh. That was complex and tedious. I was told Quora is inaccurate. It seems like you can't have two output BT devices at the time, but can do one in and one out at the same time.
