the ble_app_hids_mouse example uses the ble_advertising module, which doesn't support infinite timeout.

Instead it goes through a number of advertising states, as described in the documentation.

If you want the example to stay in the slow advertising mode forever a simple way to change the BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE case in the on_adv_evt(..) handler like this (line 846 of main.c in the ble_app_hids_mouse example):

case BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE:
    err_code = bsp_indication_set(BSP_INDICATE_IDLE);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    ble_advertising_start(&m_advertising, BLE_ADV_MODE_SLOW);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    //sleep_mode_enter();
    break;

Then the advertising module will restart slow advertising as soon as it times out, and keep going forever (or until someone connects).

Best regards
