I just bought a microsoft designer bluetooth mouse recently. It connects ok to my Kubuntu 16.10 but the cursor often disappears from the screen or just stuck for a few seconds. It seems that something is interfering the mouse connection.

Is this common issue on Ubuntu with a bluetooth mouse?

I am using microsoft bluetooth keyboard too and there is no problem at all.

Or is it a problem from the mouse itself.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; lsusb

This is fixable I guess. You need to disable bt_coex option in iwlwifi since it does not work well. Wi-Fi randomly blocks the BT.

Run in a terminal

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-opt.conf <<< "options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=N"

and reboot.
