bluetooth keyboard wouldn't let me type my password on my iMac/Mac

I read other iMac/Mac users' posts about this keyboard-recognition problem. I just watched a YouTube video that solved this problem. It said to turn off your iMac/Mac and also unplug everything plugged into a USB port. Keep these unplugged for about 30 seconds, then turn on your iMac/Mac and plug everything back into those USB ports. Fixed!

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Ventura Bluetooth issues. Why is Apple dragging its feet when addressing the Bluetooth issues created with the Ventura OS 13.0 update? It is impossible to connect my keyboard to my Macbook Pro since the update and all of my mice have a terrible lag as if the buffers get full and then empty out. I can never tell where the pointer will be at any given time because it seldom follows my mouse. The keyboard and mice work fine on all other Bluetooth enabled devices, but NOT on the one device I have with Ventura. (And, yes, I have done all the troubleshooting. Nothing makes it work properly for more than a few minutes.) It is sloppy and anti-user to let this bug continue! I left PC's to get away from this kind of shoddy workmanship!
