I use a standard Apple bluetooth keyboard all the time on my Mac Mini. Only time I have keystrokes not getting processed is when I wake the machine out of sleep mode. Then I think VO is more the problem with lack of responsiveness. I may also experience much sluggishness or whatever when Time Machine is updating my backup. Machine and keyboard just work better when that process gets out of the way. Another thing I like to do to be sure my keyboard is working OK is to tap the Caps Lock key because this won't input any unwanted characters but VO will speak a response when things are working right. Another trick is to hold down FN key and press F11 and F12 back and forth and you will hear the ticks of the volume control. I base this last comment on having the function keys set to software so FN key must be held down for hardware things like volume.
