new apple bluetooth keyboard/mouse

[brandon333]

will not work with ubuntu, i see the bluetooth preference and has "add devices" but when you open that it dont give an option to type anything, so how do you add devces.

I'm not sure how the apple keyboard mouse synchronizes, but usually most devices have a red button to activate the process. Find that button.

1. Search for the button in terminal by typing:
sudo hidd --search

You will see msg that says:

Searching...

2. Press the synchronize buttons on the devices.

If the sychronize is successful you should get a msg similar to bellow in terminal saying:

Connecting to device 00:07:61:32:64:93

Now you should have both devices connected.
