Absolutely an issue, I will say first I LOVE my mac mini but I have 2 and both with apple keyboard and trackpads I have nothing but disconnects on the 2014 and I was hoping when I upgraded to the M1 2020 model I would be happier but NOPE!.

One is upstairs on the main tv and one downstairs in an office, both constant disconnects, apple knows about it, just offers solutions of resetting the devices and that doesn't fix it.

I have moved them around turned other items off, followed a ton of steps from apple about reconnecting, even went as far as turning off my router and anything around the mac to eliminate possible complications of signal, also made sure they were 100% charged just constant disconnects.

If you are going with a corded keyboard at a desk it maybe better, but it's frustrating for sure.

Zero issues running wireless Logitech MX Keyboard and Apple Wireless touch pad. My Intuos tablet works perfect as does everything on it I hook up.
Mac Mini M1 is a dependable workhorse for me. We have 2 M1 Airs an they work perfect also.

Please be specific whether BT or Wireless 2,4 GHz use (or both) is working so well for you. Complaints here are using BT, so far.
I have the MX Keys and it can use either method.

Why would would anyone use 2.4ghz? Bleh!
Of course it is bluetooth just like the track pad.
Zero issues with the M1 platform at all!

Most Logitech devices have way more battery life on USB wireless, like my g613 is rated 2 years USB vs 6 months on Bluetooth, plus faster polling/response.

Beware of the Bluetooth not working on these. If you want to connect devices just make sure you don't rely on Bluetooth
