So it works fine for connectivity, but I've noticed that I'm only seeing battery level for my Magic Keyboard, not for the Magic Mouse:

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback! Sadly this issue is most likely out of my control. As you might notice from the device data you provided above, the Bluetooth utility doesn't return the battery level of the Magic Mouse and the issue might be originating from anywhere between the BT utility and the actual Magic Mouse, so mostly out of my power to fix.

For comparison here's how my Magic Trackpad looks:

{
  "device_address": "<Redacted>",
  "device_firmwareVersion": "<Redacted>",
  "device_minorType": "Magic Trackpad",
  "device_productID": "0x0324",
  "device_services": "<Redacted>",
  "device_vendorID": "0x004C",
  "device_connected": "true",
  "device_batteryLevelMain": "46%"
}

Note the "device_batteryLevelMain" field missing from your device's output :(

Edit: Sometimes power cycling the device or the computer fixes it tho so might be worth trying

@VladCuciureanu yeah that's weird. However, I'm able to see the battery level with a similar extension in Alfred. So there should definitely be a way to get that data – the question being how.

I'm just checking how the Alfred extension handles this and it seems it's using the IOKit via:

ioreg -r -n AppleDeviceManagementHIDEventService -k BatteryPercent -f

to retrieve the battery level.

[VladCuciureanu]

Using something similar:
ioreg -c AppleDeviceManagementHIDEventService | grep -e BatteryPercent -e DeviceAddress

Could you send me the output of that command when run on your machine with the mouse connected? Either here or via email is fine.

[krzemian]

ioreg -c AppleDeviceManagementHIDEventService | grep -e BatteryPercent -e DeviceAddress
    | | |   |       "DeviceAddress" = "70-f0-87-08-a9-be"
    | | |   |       "BatteryPercent" = 95
    | | |   |       "DeviceAddress" = "dc-a9-04-01-55-58"
    | | |   |       "CurrentBatteryPercentNotificationType" = "CurrentBatteryPercent"
    | | |   |       "BatteryPercent" = 84
