Following a re-installation of Tumbleweed (KDE) I now find that neither of my Bluetooth mice are detected when I attempt to ‘Add New Device’. Wasn’t an issue before I performed the re-installation.
The same two mice are instantly recognised if I do same with a second Tumbleweed PC.
Any suggestions, please?
Is your BT device active? Cycle on off /airplane mode
Is the mouse in pairing mode?
Can you detect the mouse with your phone/tablet?

Yes, in pairing mode, detected by phone AND a second Tumbleweed PC. So issue relates to the PC, not the mouse.
If you toggle airplane mode on and off
And then do a
dmesg
the last lines In the terminal of the prompt does it show wifi and BT status change?
