Q: Magic Mouse 2.0 cannot stay paired with different computers
I have 2 MacBook Pros, both running OS X 10.11.5 (one for work and one for home). I use the same Magic Mouse 2.0 and Apple Wireless Keyboard for both. The keyboard works great and connects to whichever laptop is turned on within a few seconds. The mouse, however, fails to connect everytime I switch laptops. Simply clicking the mouse after switching laptops does nothing. Opening the Bluebooth menu and clicking connect on the mouse will result in a popup saying "Connection unseccessful. Please pair this device again." At this point even clicking Pair from Bluetooth preferences, typically fails and power-cycling the mouse is required before it will repair.
As long as I don't switch laptops everything is fine. I can reboot the same laptop over and over with no mouse connection issues.
Log error messages (identical on both laptops):
