SUMMARY
I'm running KDE Neon 5.18 on the 5.3.0-51-generic #44~18.04.2-Ubuntu SMP
kernel, and the Bluetooth subsystem inactivity timeouts for keyboards and mice
is causing serious usability problems. 

After a short period - perhaps 60 seconds - moving the mouse doesn't cause a
corresponding move of the cursor...it takes about 2 seconds before a response
is seen.  Mouse clicks are similarly delayed, and have been registered at the
wrong screen location.  For the keyboard, there is a similar delay, and
sometimes the first keystroke doesn't register, which has led to mistakes
inputting passwords, and erroneous data entry.

I've changed the settings in /etc/bluetooth/input.conf and main.conf, but
nothing changes the problem.
The devices are a logitech keyboard, model K780, a logitech mouse M585 and an
HP mouse X4000b.

This has been a persistent problem ever since I built this machine. As it's so
pervasive, I've stopped using Bluetooth completely.

Machine details....
Powerspec G162, 8 Core AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
48G RAM

The bluetooth adapter is an Intel device.  lsusb -v shows...

....and a lot more.
syslog has many messages like:-

These messages are often repeated many times.
