Big Sur 11.2 update magic mouse won't connect

Just updated to Big Sur 11.2 hoping this would solve the bluetooth issues with my magic mouse, and nothing.

Completely lost the mouse now, doesn't matter what fix I use.

Will connect if I am using a usb lead, but as soon as I disconnect the lead the mouse disappears on the system.

Bluetooth on, mouse connected via usb lead, mouse connected and charging, disconnect lead and no mouse found/not connected.

You CAN pair these two peripherals to multiple Macs. However, as you already know, they can't be connected at the same time to multiple Macs.


For example, I have the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad 2. I turned off Bluetooth on a Mac Mini. I then paired the two devices to my Macbook Pro Retina using the Lightening cable. I disconnected the Lightening cable and Screen Shared to my Mac Mini, turned off Bluetooth on the Macbook Pro Retina and turned on Bluetooth on the Mac Mini. The two devices showed up immediately and I Connected each to the Mac Mini. Last, since I wanted to use the two devices with the Macbook Pro Retina, I turned on Bluetooth on the Retina, disconnected the two devices from the Mac Mini and reconnected them to the Retina. Both Macs have Bluetooth turned on and all I have to do is disconnect them from one Mac and connect them to the other to switch back and forth.
