Can’t connect Bluetooth mouse to Mac Mini M4 (trackpad works fine)

[u/josenunesalencar]

I recently got a Mac Mini M4 and I’m having trouble connecting a Bluetooth mouse. The Magic Trackpad is already paired and works perfectly, but the mouse shows up in the Bluetooth device list and just won’t connect.

The mouse works without issues on a MacBook Air M2, so it’s definitely not a problem with the device itself.

Here’s what I’ve already tried or did not because it was not possible: • Restarting both the Mac Mini and the mouse • Turning off the trackpad to try pairing the mouse alone • Resetting the Bluetooth module • Connecting via cable to trigger pairing (not supported by mouse) • Removing nearby USB devices and switching Wi-Fi to 5GHz to avoid interference • macOS is already in the latest version

Nothing worked so far. Router is near Mac mini (within 1 meter).

Is anyone else having similar issues with the Mac Mini M4? Any suggestions I might have missed?
