Seeking tribal wisdom here… Ok, so after several years of being annoyed with the draping cord of my mouse, I went back to a wireless mouse (my first bluetooth device btw) last year. It’s great when it works, but sometimes (and I don’t know the rhyme or reason of it), I have to run ‘bluetoothctl; p…

Yep, it’s on all my distros (it has three settings) and behaves similarly pretty much on each. I have cloned the id to most of them, though I am using all three across several distros. Sadly…(yes it is sad) it seems to perform better in Windows (though I can’t say that definitely, because I haven’…

Well that would explain a lot I would say, but what causes it I don´t know. Have you already gone through the Arch wiki ? Bluetooth - ArchWiki
