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

Just got the brand new Mac mini (M1, 2020 8gb and 256gb - macOS big sur 11.0.1). The bluetooth connection between my Magic Mouse 2 and the mini drops during use (2-3 times an hour). The drop is very odd too - it always drops twice in quick fashion (it drops, I wiggle the mouse and click, it reconnects then immediately drops where I wiggle/click again and it connects for a longer period of time).

I worked with apple support who had me remove the plist files, but after rebooting I ran into the same issues. Any advice?

I have the mini connected via usb c cable to my acer 27" monitor. I use the same mouse, keyboard, monitor, and cable to connect to my 2018 MacBookpro 13 (Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7) and have never had issues. I even plugged in the MacBookpro after getting my mini to see if it was happening there again - nope. It's only the mini.

Mac mini, macOS 11.0

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 really should start a new thread since these issues don't seem to have anything to do with the original question here.

A factory reset of the headset seems to have helped with the Sony XM3 issues. Mouse is still erratic over Bluetooth though, so using the Logitech plug.

Not a Big Sur issue I’m afraid. Bluetooth mice works super fine on my Intel MBP running the same version of Mac OS.

Since money is no object and apple products are reasonably overpriced, I just toss out the non-working peripherals and purchase brand new ones, and pooof! Issues gone.

Changing the batteries on my old Trackpad did unlock my MX Anywhere 2S which has been lagging frequently.

Both are connected via Bluetooth.

I will update this comment if this is a pattern.

use sound output not through the built-in sound card and everything will be fixed

Can you be a little more specific as to how everything will be fixed and what you did? Or is this just a joke, sorry if I don't get it.

Exactly what do you mean? I have my sound via Bluetooth, but still have issues with my MX Anywhere 2s over Bluetooth.

Mine has gone again, today, for no obvious reason. has been working oK. Trackpad and keyboard are OK (both Apple) but Logitech mouse is too stutttery to do anything with!
