2018 Mini - for the most part loving it.

Finding a lot of issues with laggy bluetooth, Magic Mouse lagging across the screen. I noticed today its eating my batteries on my Magic Mouse and keyboard. Usually batteries last me about a month, maybe a month and half. I think I got a week out of my mouse.

I also cannot unlock my mini with my Apple Watch..its like its not in range EVER even though I'm maybe a foot a way from the mini.

Lastly, on reboot, my USB Drobo is browsable, but cannot do anything more until I unplug and plug in. My new Drobo works now that I have it on usbc-thunderbolt adaptor, but my old one on USB bus (both old and USBC to legacy port) - still have to unplug/replug before use.

Part of me is writing this hoping someone can give me some insight, or I wait for updates, or?
 
The harder BT has to work, the more battery it uses. This smacks of interference. Try unplugging everything but video and power, confirming everything BT, then reconnecting one thing at a time.
