My guess is that your mouse doesn't like being paired with the same
adapter but different link keys (if any).

Put your mouse into pairing mode and set it up using the
bluetooth-wizard ("Set up new device" in the applet's menu).

Don't use hidd (which is only there for debug purposes, eg. launching
"hidd --show").
