Both my magic mouse 2 and keyboard have stopped connecting to my 2016 mac mini. I had issues before with poor motion response on the mouse, but since I upgraded to Catalina bluetooth has stopped altogether.
I managed to get it working for long enough to access the bluetooth debug menu and rest bluetooth, but then it stopped working again.
You have any USB 3.0 external drives connected to your Mac Mini?
If so, see > Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference - Apple Support

Nice one, thank you. I had a couple of USB3.0 hard disks connected via an old USB 2.0 hub. Moved them further away from the Mac Mini and service was resumed. Now upgrading to a well-shielded USB 3.0 hub.
You're welcome! Yup' moving my USB 3.0 drives and re-routing the cables solved the problem for me as well.
