Venue 11 Pro 5130 multiple issues - second most disappointing product ever?

I have multiple issues with my Venue 11 5130.  Could someone point me in the direction of some fixes, please?

1 - Mobile keyboard constantly goes to sleep after a few moments of non-use.  I did the firmware "upgrade" that supposedly fixes this by resetting so it doesn't sleep.  Issue persist anyway.

2 - Battery charge indicator shows mobile keyboard battery 2 "not present" even when keyboard is working.  Doesn't charge, doesn't seem to draw juice from keyboard battery.

3 - Tried to install the most recent touch screen firmware - installation fails and gives error message like "Synaptics (device) not detected" then aborts.

4 - I'm ~still~ watching for active stylus that actually works halfway properly to be released.  Any update on this?

 

After 3 months, my Venue 11 5130 continues to be the buggiest computer I have ever owned other than the 7130 that I returned.  I really wish I could send this machine back and forget I ever owned it - but it's too late.
