Apple Magic Mouse 2 in Arch Linux - Keeps Disconnecting

Question

I've a second generation apple magic mouse 2 that works perfectly on my macbook pro. When I connect it to my linux machine however, which is running Antergos / Arch Linux, the mouse just disconnects as soon as its paired. Then it disconnects as soon as I try to connect it again.

Not sure how to fix this. Anyone have any idea how to prevent the mouse from disconnecting so that it can actually be used?

Answer 1

Nothing changed beyond an upgrade to the kernel, so I think there is a very good chance that this might be a way to fix it. If yer having this problem, try to upgrade the linux kernel to a more recent one, 4.13.12-1-ARCH definitely works for me.
