So my magic trackpad 2 and keyboard disconnects at the same time, and stays that way, every day pretty much. Anybody else having this issue?
This is exactly my issue! Only happens every two days and appears to coincide with the ''systemUIserver'' process stalling, although that could simply be a symptom rather than a cause.So my magic trackpad 2 and keyboard disconnects at the same time, and stays that way, every day pretty much.

110% agree with this statement. Here people are finding 'workarounds' for their brand new Mac mini. Pathetic. And the most pathetic part is that 'Apple people' are so willing to do it instead of holding Apple accountable. SMH...This is sad. People have to get a separate Bluetooth adapter on a computer that’s already 30% more expensive than its predecessor. I hope you are all involved with Apple support so they can sort this out. Totally unacceptable

Have you reported this to Apple?
Apple has wrote USB controllers codes from 0 again in Mojave.
This time I think that T2 have something to do with it.
Since the Apple's BT connects via USB it should be tampered by the new coding.
Resetting SMC after a clean 10.4.3 install should help with the dropping...
AbsolutelyHmm.. didn't know that. I'm also experiencing a ''coil whine'' when one of my USB devices is connected. Do you think this might also have something to do with the new coding or T2 chip?
Absolutely
The way T2 was introduced led us to think why one would design it in a such close and reliable system like Intel’s chipsets.
The answer might be related with the numberous hackintosh builds out there. While forcing the USB controllers to report T2 chip their traffic it will turn all machines without T2 useless, since USB devices is mandatory to UI. Bear in mind that Bluetooth are hooked in USB even in those Broadcom’s PCIE combo adapters.
The noise you (and everybody) are listening are the T2 working the USB traffic out.
Of course, there’s always the chance, however slim, that Tim Cook doesn’t spend a lot of his time worrying about hackintoshes, let alone making a major system change for the purpose of rendering them inoperative.
Make sure you give them the reason during the return so they can flag it for their engineering team.I got one two days ago. While my display is connected via USB-C to Displayport, my bluetooth unusable (disconnections every 10s) and Wifi is down to 0.5% of its normal speed.
When connection via HDMI no Problems, everything is fine.
I will return my today, a new machine has to work 100%.
I’m seeing a pattern. Several of these reports now about the 2018 Mac mini. Clearly something isn’t right. Oddly my 2018 Mac mini’s Internet connection has been rock solid on wifi since reinstalling Mojave from Recovery mode, even with everything reconnected including the HDMI port. But the Bluetooth trackpad is disconnecting again so I plugged it into a USB port. I’d send it back if I knew that Apple had fixed some hardware issue in newer builds.I got one two days ago.

If that’s the case I hope they do the right thing and issue a free hardware repair or replacement program for everyone, or else a new class action lawsuit will be coming their waySo far, Apple is still investigating on the issue. Looks like it is related to an unshielded issue but I am not 100% related to the third party devices we use or the the USB port/bus of the mini. I believe it is an issue from the mini because we all have USB devices that work perfectly when used with another computer.

Ask to speak to customer relations. From there move on up to executive relations.Same here and for many others here I fear. The issue must be in the Mini's bluetooth firmware or chipset. My magic mouse2/keyboard/trackpad all work flawlessly on a 2013 MBPro up to 2-3 metres range. but drop out fatally beyond 12-18 inches with the 2018 Mini.
"workarounds" that helped a bit (other than decreasing working distance from Mini to peipherals) a) move Mini off metal racking to wood desktop b) 100% USBc dock(Caldigit) /cables/peripherals c) super declutter all power and peripheral cabling d) move dock away from mini as far USBc cables allow. Caldigit list a 2 m long USBc-USBc cable but its out of stock ...These were all suggested by users here I think.
Apple support seem to be in denial, I am currently trying to escalate my complaint with them but its uphill....I had less challenges on an SE30 as many (30) years ago
I can’t say for sure, but I believe it is still there but not as prevalent.Trying to clarify one thing - if one doesn't have anything plugged into the USB-A ports, is the Bluetooth problem still there? Obviously this is not a solution, but I'm just wondering.
Thanks
