Why is my Bluetooth mouse stuttering after Mac mini wakes from sleep?

I just want to voice the opinion that suggesting not to put the Mac to sleep as a solution for an inherent problem with the Bluetooth stack is so far from what I would deem acceptable.

Everything else is a workaround I would not have believed necessary or acceptable even twenty years ago.

The workaround wasn't necessary 5, 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

If there is a working solution for the current computer sleep issues,

then please feel free to share it with us and with Apple.

Sleep is unnecessary on later Macs and should be disabled. Shut for long absences/idle overnights, and for regular operation, use the settings exactly as shown below (reboot after setting):

Also, do not manual-sleep for brief absences, use instead the Lock Screen settings switch the display off on timer:

+1

Turn On "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off"

Set "Turn display off when inactive" to 5 or 10 minutes

Then just leave the Mac On with the display Off

Shutdown for longer periods of non-use

I just want to voice the opinion that suggesting not to put the Mac to sleep as a solution for an inherent problem with the Bluetooth stack is so far from what I would deem acceptable.

There is no solution to a self-created problem other than not creating it in the first place, dear @den.thed. The best way is to drop old habits that no longer apply in today’s world (however hard it may be to do so). We now return to real issues…hopefully.

How is it a self-created problem....?

When by default, Apple has "Prevent automatic sleeping ......." turned Off.

A default setting that can be changed, don’t forget. There are literally tons such on or off which can’t even remotely be thought of as “Apple recommended”. It’s for the user to understand and change if it makes sense/causes trouble.

As for the Sleep default, there is no inference to be made other than it too is a carryover from the past, not even remotely an Apple recommendation. In fact, Apple has absolutely nothing to say about Sleep zero, nada, nothing.

One day Apple will get to obsolete default settings and in the case of Sleep will hopefully get rid of the option entirely. Until then it’s for the user to disable it either knowingly or after running into issues.

True and true! That is why we are here to help.

Yea' perhaps sending Feedback to Apple, just falls into a black hole and doesn't help anyone...?

In this case it must - disabling Sleep is plain old common sense. Apple isn't responsible for our old bad habits (and in many ways uncaring about its own).
