Hello All,

I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 and neither the Blueman solution, nor selecting the mouse as trusted in BlueDevil worked. Obviously as this is Kubuntu with KDE the solution of Marcos Barbosa is not working too.
However I've managed to get the mouse working like a charm using this article: http://designcreateplay.com/hardware/2013/04/19/persistent-bluetooth-connections-on-ubuntu-12-10

This solution is more distribution agnostic as it works at Bluez level and not at higher level.
Basically you need to put your mouse in discoverable mode and then run the following commands in the console:

hcitool scan
bluez-simple-agent hci0 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
bluez-test-device trusted XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX yes
bluez-test-input connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is your mouse Bluetooth MAC address as given by hcitool scan.

Best Regards,
