Things will go much more smoothly if you use the same link keys in both OS X and Linux. Then the device won't need to be repaired everytime you switch between them.

You can do this by:

1. Pairing in Linux
2. Pairing in OS X
3. Copying the link keys from OS X to Linux

Attached is a script that will perform step 3. It assumes you are in Linux and have your OS X partition mounted at /media/osx (readonly is fine). It will overwrite all your Linux link keys (so anything not paired in OS X will stop working).

Also, Linux apparently needs to know how many digits the PIN was when pairing. I have hardcoded the script to assume 6 but to make an exception for a given hardware address. You might want to edit the script with the hardware address of your mouse.

It requires the package libplist-utils (sudo apt-get install libplist-utils).
