Mac Mini (2012), and several USB3 hard drives. One was sitting ON the Mac Mini (it was there just 2 days, temporary location). Apple Bluetooth mouse was operating fine.
Moved the hard drive NEXT to the Mini, with the USB3 cable on the RIGHT side of the Mini. When I restarted, I noticed the mouse was very "jerky" although click and touch-scroll worked fine. I flipped the power switch on the mouse ON and OFF several times. I even restarted the Mini. It didn't help.
I shut down, reached back and re-routed the cables and now moved the cable to the LEFT of the Mac Mini. I restarted, Mouse works fine.
Coincidence or was this really a case of interference between USB cable and Bluetooth module?
