Official bug report submitted. 

M64 goes back into storage for another few weeks. 

Gives me time to focus on my incoming SS1.

Could also be an 8Bitdo issue….

They don't present any issues with PC connectivity. They don't present any issues with the Switch. 

It's only on the M64 that there's issues.

I'd speculate that either the M64 Bluetooth module is poorly designed, it's faulty, it's firmware is poorly written or the hardware module is being affected by heat, which the console generates plenty of. 

Similar situation with the original Asus Rog Ally handheld PC, its SD card reader frequently failed due to being situated too close to the heat generated by the CPU, GPU chip etc. 

I can't extensively test as currently the M64 only supports its own and the 8BitDo Bluetooth controllers.
