### Connectivity Issues ###
Some users may experience poor connection from their keyboard to their host device, whether it be from a bad Bluetooth card, a metal enclosure on the keyboard or host, or distance to the host device. Increasing the transmit power of your board may solve this problem. To do this, simply enable the `CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8` configuration value in the `.conf` file of your user config directory as such:
```
CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8=y
```
On the `NRF52840`, the value `PLUS_8` can be set to any multiple of four between `MINUS_20` and `PLUS_8`. The default value for this config is `0`, but if you are having connection issues it is recommended to set it to `PLUS_8` because the power consumption difference is negligible.
