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

I may have "fixed" the issue with the Magic Mouse disconnecting and reconnecting repeatedly. System Preferences/Bluetooth/Advanced...uncheck "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer". The issue was happening all morning (and since I received the M1 Mac Mini) and has stopped since I unchecked the box. I am using a USB Keyboard, so that is how I will wake from sleep. So far, so good though.

Well, what I decided to do was download the beta of 11.2, and then everytime it happens, I'm sending in the feedback with the error.


For those of you who are interested, this is what shows up in the console:


fault 15:53:24.520549-0600 kernel AppleHSBluetoothHIDDriver:0x1000027f6 Matching has vendor DeviceUsagePage : ff00 bundleIdentifier none ioclass none but transport and vendorID is missing

fault 15:53:25.030673-0600 kernel AppleHSBluetoothHIDDriver:0x1000027f6 Matching has vendor DeviceUsagePage : ff00 bundleIdentifier none ioclass none but transport and vendorID is missing


Now, I wish I new what that meant, but I'm hoping someone at Apple will.


Another curiosity is I keep getting this error as well:

It happens with a large list of errors every 3-4 seconds; I have verified that my 2013 Mac Pro, running Big Sur 11.1 (no, I won't risk 2 machines with a Beta ;), does not ever get these errors. (It's using a wired keyboard, Unified dongle with Logitech trackball - not using bluetooth).


Not sure what it all means.
