[SOLVED]Rapoo bluetooth keyboard.

Hi,
So I I just got a Rapoo bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad http://www.dx.com/p/rapoo-e6700-ultra-s … ack-209258 but for some reason it refuses to pair up with my computer.
I have had great success with my mobile and tablet. I can pair the keyboard with anything that accepts bluetooth keyboards, phone etc. But there I had to enter a code on the keyboard and press enter.
While on Linux this does not happen and I don't know how to force the code to popup. I run the latests stable kernel and latest stable bluetooth drivers.

-Cheers Sebbe

Re: [SOLVED]Rapoo bluetooth keyboard.

I'm assuming your keyboard does not come with a USB controller and needs to be paired with your computer's bluetooth. Follow the instructions on the wiki to connect it to your computer:

You should have installed the `bluez` and `bluez-utils` packages already, and will probably need a wired keyboard for the process.

That did the trick!
Anyway I'm sorry for the noobish question but I could not find the arch wiki link
Thank you very much for your help!
