Problem with my Rii i8 keyboard

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my rii i8 keyboard. The keyboard is associated with a dongle on my rpi4b. So far all was well. But recently, when I plug in my external hard drive, the keyboard seems to no longer be able to connect to the dongle beyond a meter, barely. If I don't connect the hard drive I can control Libreelec as before. My question is: would there be any interference on the usb ports?
Has anyone come across this problem before?
Regards

Very likely it's the well known USB3 / 2.4GHz interference issue

Simple solution is to use an extension lead for the wireless dongle so you can put it 0.5-1m away from the USB3 leads/devices

so long,

Hias

Thank you for your answer.

It's happens suddenly. It works before with no issue on Libreelec 9.2.8

I will try
