The basics would be:
Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
and
Reset the SMC How to reset the SMC of your Mac – Apple Support
If no resolve—
Hold the Shift Option Keys and click open the BT icon in the Upper right menu bar>Debug>
Remove All Devices and Reset All Devices and Reset the BlueTooth Module
and test.
If still no resolve—
To trouble shoot further you can:
Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test will take a little longer as caches get rebuilt.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
Test ssue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
If your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad isn't working
