So after more than a year working smoothly using Bluetooth (once it had a small hiccup but it was resolved quickly), I am having trouble with it. I needed to change the BT card in my old Macbook pro mid-2012 13" because it was having erratic connection when >2 BT devices are connected.

All seemed fine after I replaced the BT card; I could quickly reconnect my Logitech keyboard K380 and a BT speaker, but for almost an hour I was trying to reconnect my mouse with no luck. This mouse is detectable on my Android phone, so there's no power problem here.

I've followed the guide here: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023195654-Resolve-Bluetooth-Wireless-issues-on-Mac-OS-X
Still, nothing changes.

Then I try the dongle and it works! However, having used the BT way for so long, I am very curious as to why it just don't want to work anymore.

Specs:
MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
