Bluetooth Keyboard Connectivity Issue after MacOS Update

The issue appeared around November 2020, which is when the Big Sur released. I bought my MacBook Pro 2020 in August, and before there was no issue on connecting bluetooth keyboard to the laptop.

However, after I updated the OS, the MacBook wasn't able to find my keyboard, I tried multiple ways, kept shut down and reboot the laptop, but it still doesn't work. At the beginning, I thought it was my keyboards problem, so I just changed back to the wired mode.

However, a few days ago, I bought a new keyboard from Keychron, which should work well on MacBook. But it turns out that even my KeyChron K2 bluetooth keyboard wasn't able to connect to the MacBook. This just shows that there is something wrong with the brand new OS, and Apple have not fixed this issue for months.

I find lots of people complaining about it, but still, the issue exists, and it seems that it won't be fixed for the next few months...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Well, let me clarify this:

I DID NOT say that bluetooth is not working for all of the devices. I have an AirPods Pro, and it works just fine. I was talking about bluetooth keyboards specifically! (moreover, both of my keyboard works fine on my iPhone and iPad, that is why I believe there is a problem with the MacOS)

Currently, the only way that could fix this issue is go to finders and delete a file named 'com.apple.Bluetooth.plist', then reboot and pair my keyboard.

But this cannot solve the problem in long term as I have to go through the process every single time.

If you did not face this issue, then good for you. But I am facing this issue, and it is indeed annoying.
