I'm lucky to not have had that experience for initial pairing. I was recently gifted the beats headphones and they've never had an issue like that, though I do have to re-pair with every device which is my main annoyance.
I stopped using a BT trackpad because I would get disconnected randomly though, so maybe it comes down to the devices?
Also not the first time we've had a chat in HN comments. How's the robot boxing chess league? ;)
- mikeash 10y agoDevices no doubt play a part, and I think some of it is just dumb luck. Sometimes you might encounter a Bluetooth stack that's been wedged somehow, and it just won't go anywhere. A few weeks ago I was riding with my father and brother in my car, and they both wanted to play some music. We paired my brother's phone and all was well. Then we did my father's phone and we simply couldn't make it work despite a great deal of trying. They have the exact same iPhone model, but one worked and one didn't. A few days later we tried my father's phone again and it worked that time. No idea why. I almost said you had me confused with someone else, then I finally managed to remember that conversation. Where did we even talk about robot chess boxing? I remember discussing it in pretty alarming detail, but I can't remember where.

Not sure how I remembered your name when I forget to pay my rent half the time, but that's my brain I guess.
- mikeash 10y agoThank you, now I can enjoy thinking about the tournament all over again.
