Disabling upower isn't enough -- it will start up again when an app (such as your browser) requires power management support. You have to uinstall upower from your system. (Note that this will make some apps, such as steam, unstable.)

This bug started happening when I switched out my wifi card. I have a Dell XPS 9560. My Magic Mouse only started having these disconnect issues after I switched to an Intell 9260 card. I might switch back to Killer card to verify.

I caught upower doing its (bad) thing just now, after being started up by brave browser.

Magic mouse is now disconnected.

If I completely uninstall upower, the problem goes away.
