Mac Mini m1 bluetooth problems

maybe interesting: after installing, the mac mini the mac mini recognize the keyboard and mouse as "system administrator mouse/keyboard". Do that with the older iMac: the devices are recognized as what they are "magic mouse 2/keyboard 2".

more speculative:

Some people complaining about the bluetooth issue, having Logitech MX series devices. I read, Logitech had a security issues with their bluetooth devices, so the bluetooth connection can be a read and hacked. In 2019 Logitech published 3 firmware upgrade to solve that. Maybe some user didn't upgrade their devices and the new M1 chip with integrated high-performance storage controller with AES encryption hardware drop these bluetooth sessions?

Having exact same issue with Bluetooth connectivity with new Mac mini. I guess this is why they say always wait to buy a new tech release until bugs are discovered and worked out. Using with new magic keyboard and mouse 2. Bought as a Christmas gift, hope I can get it resolved before then.

maybe one step closer:

as described, both keyboard and mouse worked as expected . But ....

I am used to using wifi and ethernet in parallel on my macs. Both are switched on. Now, i seen mouse movement leaks again while using the "handoff" feature for safari between my iPad and my mac mini . That point me to Wifi. Switching off Wifi, retry the "handoff" feature ... no leaks. So "handoff" working along bluetooth and Wifi...

i have the chance to configure my wifi access point (airport). I disabled the 2,4 GHz band (the frequency band, share by Wifi and bluetooth). I saw mouse movement leaks while using handoff feature between iPad and mac. first impression: leaks are gone. lets see...

This may caused by Mac OS Big Sur. Currently, I use my MacBook Pro 2017. I don’t have Magic Mouse connection issue before, but after I updating my system to Big Sur, my mouse almost disconnected every couple of hours or minutes

I got my M1 mini yesterday and I have exactly the same problem with the mouse disconnecting frequently. The keyboard also disconnects and reconnects a couple of times every hour. Both devices are within 15inches of the computer and moving them nearer does not improve matters.

I doubt it is a Big Sur problem because I have had no problems with my old iMac since installing the new OS. So it seems to be specific to the mini. I'm hoping Apple can sort this out soon or there will be a lot of unhappy owners. Judging from the search I've made, this is by no means an isolated incident.

Purchased the Mac mini M1. It has a lot of wonderful capabilities, buy my wireless Apple mouse connects via Bluetooth and quickly loses its connection. It's a repeating and very frustrating error. I connected an old mouse via USB and had no troubles with it. What's the fix for the Bluetooth failure here Apple?

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they were very professional and helpful. After extensive troubleshooting it was narrowed down to a mouse issue versus a Mac Mini M1 or Big Sur OS issue. We troubleshot the mouse on Mac Mini M1 (Big Sur OS) and MacBook Pro 2012 (Catalina OS) with the same results. The Bluetooth mouse intermittently lost its connections on both machines and OSs. It appeared most often the loss would occur when I raised the Apple mouse off the table. As I raised the mouse off the surface the batteries would move ever so slightly loosing their connection to the internal connectors. After fixing that issue the mouse no longer looses its connection.

Having same issue on my m1 Mac mini. I think it's more of a computer/software issue as my 2018 and 2011 Mac m inis in the same locations connects my Magic keyboard and mouse without issues. I am running High Sierra on my 2011 Mac and Catalina on my 2018. They worked fine (for me) on the other machines, just not the m1 Mac mini (16GB ram upgrade).

I had convinced myself it was a problem with the Bluetooth on the M1 mini. But yesterday I heard from a friend who is experiencing exactly the same problems with his iMac. He had just upgraded to Big Sur, so there is a good possibility that there is a connection here.

Mine has both 2.4 and 5Ghz connection lines. But I'm afraid that some of my home devices use 2.4Ghz wifi, so switching it off might make them unavailable. But I will try that for the experiment.

Isn't there software way to fix this? Maybe Apple already announced that it's soon will be fixed?

I have the same problems with bluetooth mouse and keyboard. In reply to the people talking about 2.4 GHz wifi interference, I have wifi switched 0ff and only use an ethernet connection with the Mini M1.

****!..

You are right. Deactivation 2.4 on my wifi router + all other bluetooth devices didn't help. Once in a while Macbook m1 looses bluetooth connection with magic mouse 2. Quickly reconnects, but it's extremely annoying (((

Several times today contacted Apple Support. They know about this issue and seems like it's software issue, soon there will be Mac OS update, but couldn't say when.

Hopefully they will also fix some interface bugs of Big Sur. I don't remember any previous major Mac OS update with so many interface bugs

Mac OS version 11.1 (20C69) is out. Testing it for two hours now. Hoped that they fixed it. In release notes there was some info about bluetooth, but in other context.

BUT NO! NOTHING IS CHANGED ((((((( Magic Mouse 2 Black looses connection as it was before 😡 😡 😡
