So how did I fix the Bluetooth issue? I bought a Logitech MX Keys wireless keyboard and the matching MX3 Master wireless mouse. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Master-Advanced-Wireless-Mouse/dp/B09GW4B6WR/ [amazon.com]
They can connect via Bluetooth OR more importantly to the Logitech Unifying Reciever. Which is a USB dongle that plugs into your device and uses its own proprietary wireless protocol (probably some other form of Bluetooth). The best part is you don't have to pay extra for this receiver, as it's already included with each of the wireless Logitech devices.

Since the M1 Mini does NOT come with a mouse & keyboard and the MX Keys & MX3 Master mouse are both rated best in class they were purchases I intended on making anyway. With the USB dongle plugged into the M1 Mac Mini and having used the Logitech wireless products for almost a year now, I have NEVER experienced a disconnect between the keyboard & mouse and computer.
This is a really easy and satisfying solution. Since I had two USB dongles (one came with each Logitech device), I plugged the other Unifying Reciever dongle into the NUCi7 computer running Windows. I also keep my iPad on my desk and now have it programmed as the 3rd device for the Logitech Keyboard & Mouse combo. Been using this setup for a year now and it NEVER disconnects for any of the 3 devices (M1 Mini, NUCi7, iPad 8th Gen). Definitely give it a try!

I'm using my windows laptop perfectly with the same Logitech wireless keyboards and mice. It's just this particular Mac mini that has issues. So you mean to say that this device requires a magic keyboard and a magic mouse/trackpad to work reliably?
It is documented on a lot of places online. Surprising to see it not mentioned anywhere

Also, I'm not downplaying your issue, as I know the Wi-Fi and BT in the M1 Air isn't the best, but hasn't been an issue for me either in over nine months of usage. But then again, Apple's Wi-Fi network stack has been getting worse for years, ever since they killed off their Airport routers. The Wi-Fi is even buggy on iOS devices.
