Unable to pair an Arctic Fox Wireless Mouse with Mac mini M4

I have an Arctic Fox mouse, and I don't know why I'm unable to pair it with my Mac Mini M4. In the Mac Mini's Bluetooth settings, it's showing the mouse's name even though the mouse is turned off.

The following will require any USB keyboard and mouse. If you don’t have them, borrow or buy them, they are inexpensive!


1.     Connect the USB keyboard and mouse to the computer.

2.     Open System Preferences – Bluetooth

3.     Un-pair the wireless keyboard and mouse.

4.     Turn off Bluetooth

5.     Restart the computer in Safe Mode per the directions in Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

6.     Restart the computer normally.

7.     Open System Preferences – Bluetooth

8.     Turn on Bluetooth

9.     Re-Pair the wireless keyboard and mouse.

10.  Unplug the USB keyboard and mouse and begin testing the wireless devices again.
