My magic keyboard and magic mouse are disconnecting irregular from my Mac mini M1. This is very annoying and normal work is not possible under this circumstances. Is there a solution in sight?
Mac mini, macOS 11.1
Hi, many thanks for all of your suggestions. But this solution solved my problem:
shift + option and click the bluetooth icon
factory reset all connected apple devices
After that you would need a keyboard and mouse which is connected via a cable on USB - A to reconnect your Magic mouse and keyboard again.
That works perfect for me. So far ;-)
If you have any devices plugged into your USC-A ports, try leaving them unplugged to see if it makes a difference. It seems that some have reported their issues resolved by doing so. Potential cross-interface with Bluetooth. If it does fix the problem, and you rely on the USB-A devices being connected, try using better shielded connectors/cables to see if that makes a difference.
My only other suggestion would be to play with the location of things on your desk. Proximity of the keyboard and mouse to the Mac mini. Anything substantial between the two that might block signal. Anything that might be electrically noisy, such a power bricks, USB hubs, desk lamps, etc. that might be interfering. Beyond that, I am running low on suggestions! 🙂
the problem with the bluetooth functionality on M1 mac mini is when wifi and bluetooth are on at the same time. I decided to wire-up and shut down wifi and then problem solved. hope it works for everyone. hope apple can check on this
Hi, many thanks for your quick reply. I have read these reports too and I have nothing connected to the USB A ports. So the issue with the bluetooth connectivity must be somewhere else.
If you have a USB hub, chuck it.
Maybe this is fixed anytime soon now.
In the meantime, use only well shielded USB devices or tolerate poorly shielded. And maybe turn off Handoff.
