Users complain about Bluetooth connectivity issues with new M1 Mac mini - 9to5Mac

YouTuber Patrick Tomasso is one of those users who’s having trouble using Bluetooth accessories with the new Mac mini.

As he describes in a video on his channel, using a Bluetooth mouse on his M1 Mac mini is almost impossible as the connection gets lost all the time.

According to Tomasso, he has already tried using the Mac mini with a Logitech MX Master 3 and a Magic Mouse 2, but “all of them cut out intermittently” during use.

Based on one of the reports shared there, the M1 Mac mini doesn’t recognize the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard at all, which makes the machine unusable.

I am using the Logitech Mx keys keyboard, and MX Master 3 mouse.

On the very first boot, it would not recognize the keyboard or mouse as available to pair via Bluetooth.

Apple is yet to recognize the problem and unfortunately, there are no known workarounds for this besides using a third-party Bluetooth receiver.
