Q: Do I need to buy a new wireless keyboard for bluetooth streaming choppiness to stop?

I need to turn off my wireless bluetooth keyboard so that the bluetooth choppiness stops. I tried turning off the trackpad off and on too but the choppiness only stops when i turn off and on my keyboard by holding down the button on the side. Would another keyboard perhaps solve the problem...I don't read about choppy bluetooth streaming in these communities too much. iMac around 2013

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), null

Please describe what you mean by choppiness, never heard that term with computing before. Also take a look at Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues

Try resetting the SMC (may need 2-3 tries) and do a PRAM reset per the instructions in Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets
