The menu bar items I use on macOS  ⌘I  Get Info

This is an expanded version of a post I made to the MPU Talk forum.

@phils OK, unfortunately it’s expected that the battery info might not work when the device has to be added manually. Currently investigating a potential workaround.
@phils I’m not familiar with the M3 mini specifically, but there are some Bluetooth devices where macOS does not make the battery info available to third-party apps. Were you able to add it to ToothFairy via the Bluetooth picker, or did you have to type in the address?

@infotexture Yes if it’s a Magic Mouse 1. No if it’s a Magic Mouse 2 (current gen). The newer Magic Mouse does not support pairing with multiple devices.

@mjtsai And thanks to AppleScript support, I can connect to my AirPods Max using my Stream Deck. 😍
How did I just now discover ToothFairy can automatically improve audio quality by disabling audio input from AirPods?! For those who may not know, AirPods and other wireless headsets use lower quality audio when their mic is in use. This means the people you hear on a given Zoom sound worse and you sound like absolute garbage. As someone who works remote, I care about both deeply. Thank you @mjtsai!
ToothFairy 2.8.3, the easiest way to connect Bluetooth devices to your Mac, improves the workaround for the macOS issue that could prevent the sound output from being set when connecting a device: https://c-command.com/blog/2023/01/11/toothfairy-2-8-3/
