I remembered people saying it's caused by the USB C hub plugged in on the wrong side. I thought to myself "bye bye headphone jack" because when plugged in on the other side it covers my AUX. Went to my search history and realized that I've googled this issue before the hub has actually arrived. So it's got definitely NOTHING to do with hub. I see frequent powerd messages during the dropouts so I gotta check if it might be when the cable is plugged in.

Any more luck with this? I just got a brand new MacBook Pro (15" 2018) and a white Magic Trackpad 2 and am running into the same thing.

I can also confirm to see the following in the logs at the time of disconnect:

Hey folks. I found this while suffering the same issue and I (think) I might have something that might help.

I have 2 WiFi networks in my office (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz). My Mac has the logon password for both in keychain. Throughout the day, my Mac would randomly switch between the 2 networks.

I found that my trackpad would constantly drop shortly after connecting to the 2.4Ghz network, to the point where I can re-create the problem at will. Spoke with Apple support and they told me that WiFi can interfere with bluetooth as it's on a similar frequency.

Forcing connection to the 5Ghz WiFi network and removing the 2.4Ghz network has made the problem go away for me. My guess is that there might be a clash between the 2.4Ghz WiFi network and the bluetooth frequency (which is also 2.4Ghz).

I've a bluetooth Apple keyboard that never causes me any problems, just the trackpad.

Hope this helps someone.
