What to Try:
Have Wired Keyboard?:
Try another keyboard to troubleshoot all of this - particularly, one that is wired.
A. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM
Reset the SMC and then NVRAM. Sometimes when changes are made to the system(updates), system configurations (i.e. for Ports) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. It might take up to 3 attempts to reset each. So, be certain you have the time to so.
B. Reset Bluetooth Module:
Perform as Instructed here: Use "Reset the Bluetooth module" to Fix Constant Bluetooth Disconnections - User Tips
C. Boot into Safe Mode: (Hold Down: shift key upon boot). In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and system errors are intended to be reset (caches). So, log in to Safe Mode; wait 30 seconds; restart; login normally.
