Public bug reported:
I connected a Logitech BT Adapter (audio receiver) via bluetooth; it
works. I then try to connect my BluetoothMouse3600 Microsoft Bluetooth
mouse and it takes ~20 attempts to connect, and then if I'm lucky it'll
work for a few minutes on the 20th attempt, before it fails.
The mouse would show up in xinput and look fine, but the cursor wouldn't
move - except that one attempt in 20 which would connect and work but
fail after a few minutes (at which point the mouse will have changed to
"off" in the BT menu, despite me not turning it off; turning it on does
nothing and the reconnect attempts continued.
I tested this with an intel 7265 and an 8260 in the same laptop (HP x360
4109NA) and it's the same. Lot's of rebooting and manually connecting
reconnecting with bluetoothctl and it refused to work.
I finally realised that the only way to make the mouse work is to
disconnect the Logitech adapter and mouse so nothing is connected via
bluetooth, then connect the mouse, and once the mouse is working connect
the Logitech BT adapter. Then all the problems go away and I'm happy.
I don't know if it's related (or if it's a bug in bluez or something
else or if it's the way microsoft made the mouse), but the mouse only
shows up as "all types" in the GUI, it does not appear in the list of
"input devices (mouse, keyboards, etc.)".
