Ok, the HIDBP (HID Boot-Protocol) is very basic...
I found this:
There are two options for using a USB mouse or a USB keyboard - the standalone
Boot Protocol (HIDBP) way and the full featured HID driver way. The Boot
Protocol way is generally inferior, and this document describes the full
featured way. The Boot Protocol way may be appropriate for embedded systems
and other systems with resource constraints and no real need for the full
keyboard and mouse capabilities.
I think now I got the right idea! I mixed HID / HIDBP / HCI up...

Yes, but probably not the HIDBP.
Now the question:
How do I switch my bluetooth mouse to full HID mode?

I think this means it's will in HIDBP mode. Maybe I'm wrong?!
My "USB HIDBP Mouse" option in the kernel is turned off.
