Logitech bluetooth keyboard

[Singlish]

I have good success with pairing using the command below though.


1) Turn on the device pairing mode
2) In the terminal, type:
hcitool scan
3) If it is detected, copy the device ID # down (looks like a mac address)
4) In the terminal, type:
hidd --connect <device ID #>

There is no "app" per se, as in most things in linux it is controlled
and started from the CLI (command line interface), meaning you need to
open a terminal.  I found a reference which could be useful, here it
is:

All the best...
