Magic Mouse 2 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting
This has been driving me nuts for months. It will disconnect and reconnect 10 times per day with no reason. I bought another one. Same deal. New Mac Mini, same issue.

I *think it's my router - I have a WiFi hotspot above me on the roof on 2.4ghz and it doesn't transmit on 5ghz.
My next thing to test is to turn it off and use a 5ghz router only for a day or so to test.
Other than that I'm running out of things to turn off!

My issue I think is that I mount my Mac mini behind my monitor and for some reason its causing interference. If I move my Magic Mouse 2 closer I do not have the problems. I use a small computer desk with a slide out keyboard and mouse drawer. Apparently its enough of a conflict with signal to cause disruptions between mouse and Mac mini.
Yip - 2 days of no 2.4ghz wifi in the house and no Bluetooth dropouts at all.
Which is a bu88er as the roof router only has 2.4ghz! Serves me right for buying cheap.
Buy cheap buy twice. Meh.
BUT at least I now know and can stop the crazy pills.
I found the answer. Turned my iPhone to Airplane mode and it goes away...
Turning my phone off allows my mouse to work. Yeesh Apple.
I lied. Problem is back. Back to the drawing board.
I do think it's some sort of interference and it comes down to finding out what it is.
