Just got a logitech bt m557 mouse. Using it on F21 (kde).
One annoyance, it does not automatically connect when the machine wakes. To connect, I have to go to the bluetooth icon on my panel (without a mouse) and select the mouse, and click 'connect'. Any ideas?

I have a similar situation. The mouse used to autoconnect under F20, and under F21 when I used KDM, but I switched to SDDM and Plasma 5 and now it occasionally works but mostly doesn't. This is annoying as I need to keep another mouse on hand to be able to click on the Bluetooth icon and enable the BT mouse. Which is ridiculous.
I've reported this and other issues with Plasma 5 to BZ several weeks ago and had no feedback whatsoever. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343875

Just chiming in that I have had nothing but trouble using BT mice on every version of linux I used - specifically problems with how long it took to pair, and once the BT went to sleep, or the mouse went to sleep, BT never woke up. I am wondering why windows does a better job at it??

In fact my experience has been mostly positive, apart from the problem already mentioned. I've used several Logitech mice plus my current one (made by Sondstrom). I do have a current issue with sleeping (see parallel thread) but the mouse has never failed to wake up.
As to why Windows does it better (assuming it actually does): almost certainly because it has manufacturer-supplied drivers for each model.
