I just got a Macbook Pro M3 - and Bluetooth is screwy - what’s happening is my external keyboard and mouse connect - but I can’t get my trackpad to connect - what’s weirder is I can see my neighbors bluetooth items which are over 100 yards away and inside his house - the Trackpad takes a while to even show - but when I pick connect - Bluetooth just spins a ball and then after 5 minutes drops even seeing the connection - the Keyboard and Mouse are the newer types with Lightening connectors and the TrackPad is a Battery one - if that makes any difference.
 
Weird. Have the same Mac and no issues at all. Have mouse, keyboard and Airpods Pro/Max connected and zero problems.

Maybe some sort of interference? Like a device/machine nearby?
