Mac Mini (M4) loses wired keyboard and wired mouse connections upon sleep

Sleep is unnecessary on later Macs and should be disabled. Shut for long absences/idle overnights and for regular operation use the settings exactly as shown below: (reboot after setting):

Also, do not manual-sleep for brief absences; use instead the Lock Screen settings to switch the display off on timer:

Once set, you can also use Control-Command-Q to immediately lock your screen (instead of waiting for the display to switch off on timer).

Many have reported issues when using sleep. Most suggest to not use the sleep function. Just have display turn off after a pre determined time.

I’m having the same issue, also with a Macally mouse. However, it’s not after sleep. It happens during normal use.

I was having problems with my Macally wired mouse (usb-c) losing power (the red light on the bottom was turned off). The device was about 2 years old so I thought it was going bad. So I replaced it with a new device of the same model. Within 15 minutes it’s done the same thing, while actively using the mouse.

Were you able to find any other solutions to this?
