OK.
I'd had no BT issues - new '18 Mini, purchased about 3 weeks ago.
I'm using a Das KB (USB), but I am (or was ... read on !) using an Apple MM (AA battery version). I have one main USB connection from the Mini to the hub on one of my Dell displays, and I had been using the other port for my Modi 3 DAC.
Suddenly, I started having issues ...
I'm not sure if it came with the 10.14.6 update (honestly, I don't recall when I did that vs. when this started), I want to say it was working fine for at least a week after the x.6 update.
I've moved the machine around a touch, swapped out different external fans (so just sort of considering changes in potential interference), etc., but even changing things up, it seemed to persist - walking constant loss of connection, it actually seemed like it was getting __worse__ day after day.
So I had been thinking about a space gray MM (to compliment all the other equipment), obviously, this issue back burnered that idea, but I remembered something I already owned that would maybe solve the issue and give me my black mouse
I had an old[er] Logitech Anywhere MX stashed away, that had already been used on a Mac at some point (so I knew it was compatible). It's a nice design, decent ergonomics, and it uses one of the Logitech Unifying adapters vs. BT. I downloaded the Control Center app (actually kept my MM connected to use), installed it, added the device, turned off the MM and I was up and running on the new mouse.
A few tweaks to the settings, and it was just about perfect. I already had Sensible Side Buttons up and running from the previous OS migration, re-enabled it, and now I've got nice forward/back navigation buttons.
I haven't had a single disconnect, the mouse works nicely (to be honest, I wasn't even using any kind of mouse gestures), it works perfectly under Parallels as well.
Plus, it's black
