Apple Studio M2 - connecting a bluetooth mouse?

[isdoo]

I have a brand new M2 Apple Studio. Unboxed last night

I was able to connect my logitech keyboard and mouse during the setup with the Logitech dongle (configured on my Macbook Pro)

However I would rather use them via Bluetooth.

I have set up the keyboard no problem.

However I can't seem to be able to click connect if I am detecting the bluetooth mouse. Tab doesn't want to select connect.

If I switch back to the dongle the mouse will work - however I would prefer to stop using the dongle.

Does anyone have a solution? I do not have an historic usb mouse - am sure it got tossed years ago!

Short of buying a usb mouse just to click connect, I am struggling - the cursor keys on the keyboard seem not to work.

Use your keyboard like a mouse with Mac

On your Mac, use the keyboard to move the pointer and click the mouse with Mouse Keys.

Yes.
It's simple.
Just use the Logitech unifying receiver, and your problems will be SOLVED.

Use one of the USBc ports on the front of the Studio.
You'll need a USBc-to-USBa adapter.
What could be easier than that?

Aside:
Bluetooth on BOTH the Mac Mini (in its current form since around 2011) and the Studio has always been -- AND WILL ALWAYS BE -- a "problematic" connection scheme.
Nothing is going to "fix" this issue.
One had best use it as little as possible...
