## this is not actual shell script but a list of commands you need to do

sudo -s

export ADDRESS="devices mac address here"

# disconnect the device if connected
hidd --unplug $ADDRESS

# authenticate (before this open another terminal and type: sudo hcidump -at | grep -i passkey A1
# here you will see the passkey needed to pair
bluez-simple-agent hci0 $ADDRESS
# you should see something like: 
# Release
# New device (/org/bluez/614/hci0/...)

# make the device trusted
bluez-test-device trusted $ADDRESS yes

# 
bluez-test-input connect "90:7F:61:11:3C:C8"
