My Magic mouse and keyboard were both about 10 inches from the M1 iMac. No other Bluetooth devices in the house. Nothing sitting between the mouse, keyboard, and iMac.
Got a tip for us?

Is M1 Mac mini Bluetooth problem solved?

I think the culprit was the Aukey usb 3.0 hub that I have
If i disconnect it, stuttering is gone
Guess I have to buy another hub or move this one far from the mac.
Glad I've found this thread; having issues with my M1 Mac Mini currently
Only with the Apple full numeric Magic Keyboard; it lags and then goes really slow. Restarting the Mac is the only way I can sort this; disconnecting & reconnecting the keyboard via Bluetooth does nothing
Is there a fix for this at all; or do I just need to grin & bear it? ?

I would say that the Aukey USB 3.0 aluminium hub was definitely the problem
Time to buy another hub
(also now I have switched to MX Master 3)

I have a 5v powered Aukey USB3 hub connected to my Mini; are these known to cause any issues?
Had it connected to my previous M1 MBA and never had these issues; it's only happened with my M1 Mini
I saw that USB 3.0 hubs may have interferences with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
I don't know if there are hubs that are good and other hubs that are not, my Aukey seems not so good, because without it, I have 0 interferences
Never had one BT problem with my M1 Mini since I got it unlike my intel Macs… and I have an aukey USB 10 in one hub
^^^
In saying that; I've just found a USB C hub that I used with my previous M1 MBA, so will try that with the few USB ancillaries I have and see what happens over the next few days
Will report back ??

FWIW I had a very similar issue with an unbranded USB-C to 3 port USB-A hub. No issues at all with the hub on a 2017 MBPro and a 2017 iMac 21.5; but on my Mac mini 2018 every 40s or so the cursor would freeze for about 5-7 seconds. Have had no issues using ALOGIC hubs.
Hi all !
Just bought a m1 mac mini. No magic keyboard bt problem at all, neither with my bose headphone.
But i notice some lags/stuttering (like the mouse cursor is sometimes « jumping ») with my magic trackpad.
As I have no bt problem with other bt devices, I wonder if I have bt problem or if it is software problem for the mouse cursor (note: i haven’t any problem with my magic trackpad when using it with my old Imac)
I notice that lags appears mostly when cpu is working.
Any idea or suggestions ?
Thanks !

FYI this has worked for me
Removed the powered 5v USB 3.0 hub and plugged in a USB C hub instead and zero issues with the trackpad losing its connection or the keyboard lagging, a LOT!
This is a relatively known issue, due to Apple's way to scale UI.
Turning this option off to end this cursor behavior. It's under Accessibility -> Display
Hi thanks ! But even with this option turned off, I still have some lags (rarely). It seems that killing the bluetooth process solve tempolarily the problem. This is why I think it's software problem.
Bluetooth does not work. I have the M1 base model and I'm typing this in Windows with my Satechi keyboard using Bluetooth. works like I'm plugged in. If I switch to my M1 Mini I have to plug it in. Bluetooth is unusable.
I have the exactly same problem!
Magic keyboard 2 and AirPods 3 both working fine!
But the Magic Trackpad 2 is exactly how you described (the mouse cursor is sometimes « jumping »).
The cursor kind of takes a few milliseconds to respond and then jumps.
Just bought mac mini m1 16gb 1TB, MacOS Monterey.
If I connect the Trackpad 2 using USB-A, then the « jumping » disappears.
I have disabled the "Shake mouse pointer to locate", turned on and off the trackpad, but nothing has solved the issue.
Sadly, this is another of those "you're using it wrong" moments from Apple. They even went as far as to delete discussions about the issue on the their Support forums, which is pretty low.
I was initially surprised that the Studio didn't get a plexiglass top to improve wireless reception like the first gen Mini, but my gut instinct says that, like the Studio, the redesigned Mini will have its antenna in the base. It would be strange for those 'Prosser renders' to be true now, given the design language of the Studio is mostly an elongated Mini.

And did you try to "restart" bluetooth process with a terminal command like "sudo pkill bluetoothd" ?
When I do this, there is no "jumping cursor" for a while. Strange, but this makes me think that is a software problem (in my case) instead of a bluetooth hardware.
It remembers me sort of problem/bug with first release of macOS Monterey (but it was worse as tap to click was not working anyway)
Yes, I have the same as you: if I do, the"jumping cursor" stops for a while, but maybe in 10 minutes it is back.
Do you think it is something possible to be fixed in the future?
Or is it hardware problem and we will have to live with it?
Cool, thank you.
The interesting part is that the "bluetooth issue" in my case is only with my magic trackpad 2.
As I said earlier, airpods 3, magic keyboard 2, magic mouse, all working fine, no lag, no issues.
Also, the BT issue is not on disconnecting or something like that, but the cursor that "jumps", and these jumps are like it has lost connection for milliseconds and returned to the place that it actually should be, but it "jumped" there instead.
I really don’t know if it is software, hardware or both ?
In my opinion, as I don’t have any issue with all others bluetooth devices, I think it is software, but I’m not skilled enough to confirm this ?
As this issue seems to be known about 10 years, few chances that apple will solve it with the actual mac mini ?
