    What brand of of your Wireless Keyboard ?

    Are you using Gnome on your Debian 12 computer?

    If it is a Logitech, maybe Solaar would work?

    Solaar is a Linux device manager for Logitech's Unifying Receiver wireless peripherals. It is able to pair/unpair devices to the receiver, and for
    some devices to read battery status.

    If you are using Gnome and a Logitech Wireless keyboard, then:
    # apt install solaar-gnome3

    Here, inxi -Bx shows:

    Battery: Device-1: hidpp_battery_0 model: Logitech K520 charge: High status: Discharging

    As a matter of course, I run:

    $ inxi -Fdflmnopuv7y1

    which formats it thus:

    … … …

    Battery:
    Device-1: hidpp_battery_0
    model: Logitech K520
    serial: 15-e6-c4-ab
    charge: High
    status: Discharging
    … … …

    "High" is despite the battery having already retired from
    one life in a toothbrush. (The mouse is wired.)

    Cheers,
    David.
