This might be related to how the device disconnects from the host.
Sometimes a disconnection comes from the device not responding anymore
and it is the BT supervision timeout that kicks in (host side). In
some cases (hw support required on the device side) a device will send
a disconnect request when switched off. Maybe these different
disconnect flavors are the root cause behind the input device being
removed or not.
