Bluetooth mouse won’t connect on restart.

My Bluetooth mouse is in my Bluetooth list on my iMac.

But I have no way of scrolling down the device list. No arrow keys work.

So how on earth do you reconnect your BT mouse this way???

I managed to open Sys Pref by using shortcuts button on my keyboard.

This is a *Solution* to a problem I had with the Kensington Trackball Wireless Mouse I have had almost continuous problems getting Bluetooth on an iMac M1-M3 to recognize my Kensington Trackball Wireless Mouse after initial boot of my iMac. Only after a 5-second long "wiggling" of the Cursor did the Cursor "unfreeze" from the top-left corner of the screen. After this, everything worked great .. but only after this initial "wiggling". The solution .. when I initially paired this Trackball Mouse a long time ago, I disconnected the Apple installed wireless mouse that came with the iMac ... but I left it active even though it was disconnected. When I selected "Forget this Device" for the Apple Mouse, the necessity for the above "wiggling" and the inherent 5-second delay **disappeared** .. now, after a fresh boot of my iMac the Kensington TrackBall Cursor is immediately moveable.

How to reconnect a Magic Mouse on my iMac after it was disconnected? I disconnected my magic mouse in the system preference (apparently foolishly) to try a USB mouse. Now I can't find a way to reconnect the bluetooth Magic Mouse.
