That's well out of date now. The Mint upgrade process is easy and
streamlined now. You ought to be on 20.3 by now.

Anyway, on topic: I haven't tried. TBPH I really only trust Macs and
Android with Bluetooth stuff.

Last time I tried a BT mouse  under Ubuntu, it was awful. I had to
install a whole new stack (I think called BlueZ) to get it working at
all. Result: working,m but 2 BT icons in the status bar.

Mint 21 will use a new BT stack, partly because the GNOME devs won't
support interop with anyone else's desktop. (Figures.)

It's in beta now. Seems to work well. I previewed it last week:
