Bluetooth Mouse is connecting to the wrong computer - two computers close to each other.

My Bluetooth Magic Mouse is tracking on the wrong computer. The two computers are about 10 feet apart. How can I control which computer the mouse is controlling?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Thanks to both of you -- of course, the real problem is that I have two computers, each with a Magic mouse. One is my wife's, the other is mine. Radio controlled planes have a mechanism for using separate frequencies to avoid this collision (!), but I guess BT doesn't. I think my two solutions are 1) buy a USB or non-BT mouse or 2) move to another room farther away.
