Satechi wireless mouse not working

[itsa...@icloud.com]

Hiya peeps,

I have had a Satechi M1 Bluetooth wireless mouse for several years and used it just fine with my M1 iMac with no issues at all.

I now have an M2 Pro Mac mini which I migrated over from the iMac and all has been good. Yesterday I went to use the mouse and nothing happened. I checked in the Mac’s Bluetooth settings and the mouse does not appear. It does not appear in the Bluetooth device list on my iPad either.

I don’t use it much anyway (mainly for games) and so I thought its battery might be flat so I charged it for around an hour. It’s not made any difference and still does not appear as a device to which I can connect. It’s only sat on a desk since it was last used and it all lights up red and blue as it used to. To my knowledge it’s not been dropped or stood on!

Any ideas if there’s something I can test or is it possible it’s just broken for some odd reason?

Thanks as always.

Stephen

Turn it off and on again.

This has worked for me so many times it’s not a joke anymore.

All the best
Steve

Is it too late unpair it from the iMac? It might think it's paired and therefore not be open to new friends. If not, google how to reset it to default/factory settings.

Thanks. I’ve found the answer - RTFM!

I mistook the flashing blue light on the base as meaning it was in pairing mode. It sort of is but it alerts you to a not that obvious button and pressing it for 6 seconds enables pairing! It then appeared in the device and I was able to connect.

Sorry to have wasted your time.

Stephen
