Bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard disconnect when another Mac is used nearby

I have a MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I use a bluetooth magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. These peripherals work great until my office mate uses their iMac, also running El Capitan, with their own bluetooth magic mouse and bluetooth trackpad. As soon as they start using their peripherals, my mouse and keyboard stop working. I get connection lost messages for both. They intermittently reconnect and disconnect. I've tried cycling bluetooth off and on, unpairing and repairing peripherals, rebooting laptop, ... Nothing works. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
