Not sure, but I might try it and see. I don't really mind it sleeping. I mind it sometimes not waking up unless kicked. There's also a timeout in the bluetooth info: # cat /var/lib/bluetooth/00:1A:7D:DA:71:13/FA:55:76:E0:6D:11/info [General] Name=HP 480 Comfort Bluetooth Mouse Appearance=0x03c2 AddressType=static SupportedTechnologies=LE; Trusted=true Blocked=false CablePairing=false WakeAllowed=true Services=00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb;00001801-0000-1000- 8000-00805f9b34fb;0000180a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb;0000180f- 0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb;00001812-0000-1000-8000- 00805f9b34fb;0000fff0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb; [PeripheralLongTermKey] Key=CC9F44A7C53A5DBA083070DC69EB3512 Authenticated=2 EncSize=16 EDiv=0 Rand=0 [SlaveLongTermKey] Key=CC9F44A7C53A5DBA083070DC69EB3512 Authenticated=2 EncSize=16 EDiv=0 Rand=0 [ConnectionParameters] MinInterval=6 MaxInterval=6 Latency=44 Timeout=20000 <-------------- Default was 5000 IIRC [DeviceID] Source=2 Vendor=1008 Product=37706 Version=39 However It's unclear if changing that actually does anything.
