M1 Mac Mini bluetooth issues fix?

I updated my new M1 Mac Mini to 11.2.1 and the issues with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse persist. It's not dropping connections anymore but about every 3rd day or so when I wake the computer the keyboard will at first not respond, then the text races to catch up, adds characters I didn't type, and generally misbehaves. The mouse appears to act normally but it's hard to tell since I'm at the login screen.

At any rate, is there any special I need to do to fix this? It's an Apple wireless keyboard and a logitech mouse. Both worked fine on my 2015 MacBook Pro...

Mac mini, macOS 11.2

I have a Mac Mini M1 16GB/256GB. Just purchased a Hagibis Hub which arrived today.

Some observations:

To begin I had Wifi switched off - working with Ethernet.
As soon as I began using the hub I started to experience Bluetooth issues with my magic mouse.
Turned system off and swapped USB-C to USB-C cable that came with the hub from left port to right port on Mac.
No more bluetooth issues.
Until I then switch Wifi on again...bluetooth issues returned.
Turn wifi off again...bluetooth issues gone again.

A week now with wifi off, so far stable but might be still too early. Want to wait 1 more week to be sure.

Agree, can't use airdrop but in my case I hardly use it on Mac. If I have too, turn on to airdrop and turn off after.

I hope apple solves this issue.

Disable sleep, it’s a non-feature for later Macs.

What do you mean that it's a "non-feature"? Isn't a sleep / low power mode a pretty standard feature for computers today?

Feb 14, 2021 4:22 AM in response to hcsitas

I get what you're saying but it's turned on by default. A fix would be preferable to a work around but I'll take it for the time being. I appreciate your help.

Chuck the hub, another one of my pearls of wisdom. Go ahead, do it, you won’t regret it.

Listen, be an early adopter, chuck the hub (before it kills your mini ports). Then let's discuss "not enough ports", betcha you don't need as many as you think you do.

You can use an HDMI monitor with built-in hub...

No I cannot as my monitor does not support HDMI.

Bus-powered hub should be fine...until it isn’t (Bluetooth/WiFi interference). If/when that happens, you’ll need to isolate the cable/device that’s noisy and/or replace the hub. Good luck!
