Magic Mouse constantly disconnects from Bluetooth

My Magic Mouse is constantly losing its connection to Bluetooth. It disconnects usually for about 5 to 10 seconds then reconnects. I have tried changing the batteries, resetting the P-Ram and many other of the suggestions online. Nothing seems to work.

Very annoying issue.

I am running macOS Mojave, version 10.14 but it has been doing this since before the last upgrade.

Just hoping someone has come up with a solution as I see it is a fairly common problem.

iMac, macOS Mojave (10.14), Magic Mouse

See if anything in this Apple article helps:

Potential sources of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interference - Apple Support

I seldom have disconnects at home but get them all the time at my volunteer job. The volunteer desk is "ground zero" for all the tech in the building--the wireless access point, base station for cordless phones, a printer with wireless, security system, a credit card scanner and other gadgets--and interference is pretty much assured.

If you have a Magic Mouse and not a Magic Mouse 2, this may work.

Thank you dialabrain,

I would not have thought that this problem would have such a simple solution. Two days so far with no sporadic disconnects. I have been living with this issue for months, maybe as long as a year. And, both at work and at home.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
