Bluetooth mouse interfeering with airpods

Hi everyone!


I've recently acquired a pair of Airpods and after 3 weeks of use something weird have happened. I'm working in a Macbook Air (2013) and I have a bluetooth mouse (MX Anywhere 2S from Logitech) paired to the mac as well as my Airpods. The two devices are interfering in a way that music only sound when I'm moving the mouse or clicking, when the mouse stops, music stops.


I'm also having problems with the mouse itself, as sometimes it's unpairs and I have to remove the device from bluetooth settings and then pair it again.


I have had problems with mac bluetooth itself too, as sometimes it turns off by itself and I'm not able to turn it on again and I have to restart the computer and do the option + command + P + R thing and problem solved.


Some suggestions? I'm getting tired of restarting the mac every time and it has worked perfectly before so I don't think these two devices are incompatible.


Thanks!


PE: Sorry about my poor english!

Ever since AirPods, my bluetooth keyboard and apple mouse have been intermittently disconnected from my iMac (Retina 5K, 27", late 2015)


The problem appears to be related to the bluetooth radio, and my fix is to plug the keyboard into the lightning connector, and install a wired mouse to turn off the bluetooth radio, and then turn it back on. This is not an ideal solution, and it doesn't always result in a reconnection of the bluetooth keyboard and mouse.


Does anyone else have a compatibility issue with AirPods, apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse? If so, are there any other 'soft' fixes that don't involve direct wiring of the peripherals to the computer?
