4th Gen 2020 M1 Mac mini bluetooth issues with Magic Mouse2

I beg to differ; it does effect my Apple Mini Bluetooth Keyboard, but does not effect my Magic Trackpad.

And, alas, I just had a drop out of keyboard and mouse - they both reconnected quickly on their own, so we will see how long that lasts (oops, just have had two more mouse connects/reconnects while writing this post). So it is getting worse again.

I think I'll flip it on its back again.

Nope, but it is good to know that Apple has collected data from at least one of us; that's been the most disturbing part- every on of the support staff I have spoken or chatted with have said they have heard nothing of this issue.

In my case, it is a rechargeable Magic Mouse and Mini Keyboard, not the latest mice and keyboard - so I think it is a general bluetooth issue. (And others have spoken about their issues with other brands of bluetooth mice having issues, as well).

I couldn't agree more. All of this chatter for something that we should never have to deal with. I am returning my Mac mini M1 which besides bluetooth has other glitches and will wait to repurchase. As to Apple tech never hearing of this I got the same response from support two days ago. amazing

So in summary, all you need to do to fix the issue is place the Mac mini upside down, use wired accessories, disable Wi-Fi in your house and neighborhood, and don’t bring an iPhone or Apple Watch near it.

You might have a point here with WiFi 6. I recently added some Verizon Fios extenders to my house and I changed my router from legacy to compatibility mode which enables 802.11ax. I don’t recall if that was around the time I began having Bluetooth issues. I’ll try and change the settings this weekend to see if that has an effect.

I have to use WiFi as I have no ethernet cable in my office yet I haven't had the problem with the mouse in over a week. I have implemented every suggestion I have seen on this thread so I can't be sure, which if any, may have mitigated the problem. I don't say cured because I can't be sure yet. I have two Mac minis, one I use and one my wife uses. She has been away for a couple of weeks so I don't know if her machine has the problem still but she was having a lot of issues before she left. I will check her machine this weekend and all next week until she gets back and see if her machine is also having the issues. Hers has the 256GB drive and mine has the 512GB drive and she has the Apple/LG 24" monitor and I have the Apple/LG 27" 5K monitor. Both have the same new keyboard and mice.

As of 19 Dec 2020, I am having the same issue. I paid big bucks to have some customizations: the added 16 GB, as well as the 1TB of extra storage. Come on, Apple, give us an update patch here. Thank you!

Or throw it in the bin or use it as a shiny paperweight!! This is shocking but hardly surprising given the usual testiness and bloated nature of the apple OS updates these days too....it’s a great machine and I use mine as a powerful edit suite replacing and outperforming a year old MacBook Pro!! But come on some really....Magic Mouse and keyboards dripping connection like this is NOT FOT FOR PURPOSE! Sort it please!!!!!🤬🤯

The monitor works very well with the Mac mini. Pictures is superb with great color depth. Only *** is price. However, until we migrate to 8K and even bigger monitors like 32" or 43" it does everything I need it to do. The image appears to be as good as the iMac 5K and I didn't need more. I figure they will come out with an even faster version of the M1 (M2) chip in the not to distant future and my monitor is ready. Given how fast this M1 is, it may be a while before I need to upgrade. Native apps launch almost instantly. Even apps like MS Word that are still Intel based launch very quickly.

Before I got my Mac mini M1, I was using Big Sur on my 2017 iMac with no bluetooth problems at all with my Magic Mouse. Now that I've migrated to the new MM M1, I'm having constant connect/disconnect issues with my Magic Mouse.

Agree totally. If every time someone gets a disconnect/connect they send in feedback, hopefully the programmers will get the hint. That's what I've been doing the last two days, and will continue to do so until the issue is resolved.

Ok, I see it's not just me but many new M1 users having this issue.

Related question, Appreciate jurusiks sarcastic humor but how is this marked as "Solved"? Apple please respond to this as an open issue.

many thanks, I will try a hub now anyhow, will see how that works.

btw, my issue disappeared after a reboot, hope this helps for a while,

it worked fine for a week, so in a week I can report again :-)

I have booted my new mac miniM1 for the first time and it does not connect neither to my mouse or my keyboard. A wired mouse works but I can't move from the first page of settings (where I should be connecting my mouse). I take any tips, thank you.
