How do I disconnect a working wireless mouse that doesn't appear in Bluetooth settings on MacBook Pro?

I want to disconnect the wireless mouse on my MacBook Pro that I'm using, but when I go to the Bluetooth settings and Mouse settings, my mouse doesn't appear even though it is working on the computer, so I cannot disconnect it. My bluetooth is on, discoverability on, i even tried to Shift+Alt to reset the bluetooth module, and tried to remove all devices. My mouse still doesn't show up on the MacBook and I don't know what to do.

What type of wireless mouse is it exactly?

Make and model?

Is it maybe using a RF receiver plugged in to the Mac using a Usb port? If so, just remove the USB receiver from the Mac to disconnect it.


Otherwise, you need to tell us what type of mouse it is. Just because it's wireless, does not mean it will be using bluetooth.
