Hey Boohlin,
I see you're having some trouble pairing your MacBook Pro at work to your Bluetooth mouse, although the mouse works with other MacBooks. I can help look into this with you.
You've done some great troubleshooting already with resetting the NVRAM and SMC. Do you have other Bluetooth devices working on the MacBook Pro at work? If so, try deleting those devices and seeing if the mouse appears. Here's how to unpair previous devices. The resource with these steps can be found in the link below:

Remove a Bluetooth device from your Mac

If you want to remove (unpair) a Bluetooth device from your Mac's device list, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
  2. Hover the pointer over the device you want to remove, then click the button that appears next to the device's name.

After you remove a Bluetooth device, you'll have to repeat the pairing process if you want to use it again.


If you don't have any other Bluetooth devices connected, try connecting something other than the mouse to see if other Bluetooth devices are working. Also, since this happens at work, make sure there aren't any potential issues with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth interference that could be causing this issue:

Fix interference from other household devices

Bluetooth shares the 2.4 GHz ISM band with other household devices such as cordless telephones, wireless networks, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. If you see issues with your Bluetooth devices that you suspect might be due to frequency congestion, see AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for further information.
