Magic Mouse V1 keeps disconnecting

[Tommy c]

Hi Guys,

I have a late 2015 27" 5K iMac and I tried to reconnect the mouse and still does this. Today, its been every 10 mins. I've never experience this. It has 62% battery left as well. I notice if I tap it fast, it reconnects fast. It's the strangest dam thing.

Thanks,
Tommy

Do you use a Bluetooth or wired keyboard? If Bluetooth, does this disconnect also?

Hi,

I have the magic keyboard as well. It does not disconnect.

What batteries? I had endless problems with rechargeable batteries. Problems went away when I put in regular batteries.

I’ve been using regular batteries. This is so strange. I just don’t know what to do other than trying a different mouse. I have a spare magic mouse.

Thanks,

Have you tried deleting the Bluetooth entry and then doing a manual re-pairing? (You'll need another mouse to do this. Wired is fine.)

I have have not completely unpaird it. I’m not sure how do dothat lol.

Or just pair my other Magic Mouse and it will over ride this current one?

I’ve known the spring/clips that hold the batteries to lose their mojo after time, so the battery loses connection from time to time.

With care, you may be able to bend them out a bit to hold the batteries tighter (don’t have one to hand to look at)

If I take them out, they seem pretty tight. I can try to bend them a little to see if it helps as well.
