Magic Mouse disconnects macOS Mojave (MacBook Pro 2018)

I bought a new 2018 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I am experiencing Bluetooth issues such as my Magic Mouse disconnecting randomly and lagging. These are the steps I have taken (not in the order as listed here) though I am still experiencing the dropouts. Any other suggestions?

  • Removed Bluetooth devices from existing connections.

  • Turn off and on Bluetooth and Wifi.

  • Remove Bluetooth PAN from network interface.

  • Have fresh batteries.

  • Remove the cover from the mouse.

  • Put a piece of paper between the batteries and the cover.

  • Clean connectors from mouse.

  • Debug Bluetooth.

  • Remove and reconnect Bluetooth devices.

  • Disable Handoff.

  • Reset NVRAM.

  • Restarted in safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac.

  • A combination of disconnecting, resetting NVRAM, safe mode, and pairing.

  • Unplugged USB-C hub to avoid interference.

  • Checked for metal objects and 2.4GHz interference.

  • Renamed my Bluetooth devices.

  • Removed com.apple.Bluetooth.plist (whenever the Bluetooth is about to cut out a copy of com.apple.Bluetooth.plist is created, not sure if this means something).

[Edit: I have had my Bluetooth antenna in my MacBook replaced and it is somewhat better, though, still not fully solved]


Updating Xcode has limited the disconnects from the keyboard and Magic Mouse (still not perfect but much better).

To update Xcode, open your Terminal and enter xcode-select --install. You may have to delete the old version of Xcode before installing the latest Xcode. Make sure to also install the command line developer tools.
