First off, I had not tried entering the PIN, because nothing had prompted me to do so. I have intermittently managed to get a PIN prompt to show up in bluetoothctl now that I am using "agent KeyboardDisplay" instead of "agent KeyboardOnly", thanks to Szymon's advice. However, although it now sometimes prompts me for a PIN code, other times it doesn't, and I still get "authentication canceled" errors extremely quickly (less than a second) after attempting to pair. Here is an example session, with both bluetoothctl and btmon output: https://gist.github.com/staticfloat/bbc016376ba5a8ab4451 Secondly, what manual do you refer to? I am having a difficult time finding bluez documentation, so if there is a bluez manual somewhere, I'd love to read it. If you refer to the manual for my keyboard, sadly its manual says nothing about Linux. I can pair it on other operating systems such as OSX without difficulty (and yes, it requires entry of a PIN) so I am confident I know the proper method to pair it with a device. Thanks! -E
