Hi, I've been having some bluetooth issues, which started a few days ago. I'm on 10.15.6. I have a Magic Mouse 1 that I've always connected through my iogear GBU521. Since my issues, I tried buying the GMYLE BCM20702 from the Buyers Guide, but same issue.
The bluetooth disconnects every few seconds. If I open the bluetooth system preferences, I can see it turn off for a split-second, then turn back on, without me doing anything. I have a USB hub plugged into an Apple Cinema Display (mdp version), which was then connected through that USB to my Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Z390. Oddly, when I tried unplugging the dongle, my USB keyboard would then stop working too. Now, I have the keyboard connected directly to the mobo, as well as the BT dongle (on a USB extension cable). However, the blue light on the dongle still blinks and the connection keeps cutting out.
Anyone know if this is a USB mapping issue vs. a bluetooth plist issue? Given I see the Bluetooth status turning off and on even when using various USB ports, I am assuming it's not my hardware.
My non-BT mouse that I am substituting right now (an inexpensive gaming mouse with a dedicated receiver dongle, as well as my Logitech mouse) have no connectivity issues through USB. When I look in Library > Extensions, I see a bunch of com.apple.Bluetooth.XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX...plists, as well com.apple.driver. AppleBluetoothMultiTouch.mouse/trackpad. Any advice is appreciated
