My Logitech M720 bluetooth mouse is just keeps disconnecting from Fedora 39 Gnome. Even when it works it lags a lot which make it unusable. I also have another laptop run Parrot OS, and it’s working fine with no issues. Is anyone encounter this issue? Thanks for help.

We really need more details.
Is this new?
After an upgrade?
new install?
worked previously on fedora?
Fedora version?
fully updated?
Hardware?
Drivers?
Most of those can be answered if you post the output of inxi -Fzxx. We then can ask specifically for additional info if needed.
Be aware that bluetooth often has problems with certain hardware chipsets and works well with other chipsets so details are necessary.
Thanks for reply, Jeff. Here is the output of the command. It used to work on Fedora 39 KDE edition though.

A common cause of mouse disconnecting by itself is your power configuration is too aggressively trying to save power. Install the “powertop” package and run it as root:
sudo powertop
then hit the tab to get the Tunables page, you want the row related to your USB mouse to have “Bad” on the left. I know that seems strange but in powertop’s view having the mouse simply “on” all the time is “Bad” from a power saving standpoint but that is what you want.
With the usb mouse row highlighted, if you hit the Enter key the power command will show at the top of the page, it will likely look like one of these:
Good would be
echo ‘auto’ > ‘/sys/bus/usb/devices/3-2/power/control’
Bad would be
echo ‘on’ > ‘/sys/bus/usb/devices/3-2/power/control’
Because your USB is different, the ‘3-2’ will likely be different due to the bus id
The issue now is how to make that stick, unfortunately powertop just shows the current boots power condition, to automate this you’d want to activate the powertop.service and then use a drop-in file to override the USB mouse. This is complicated enough that I’d rather point you to some instructions I wrote in FedoraForum:
Note that powertop package finally can automatically run
