This post explains how to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to your Linux/Mac/Windows computer without having to enter a pairing code.

In the window that opens, “Keyboard Properties”, wait a couple seconds for the services panel to load. Once it has loaded, check the box for “Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc. (HID)”. Click on “OK” to close the window.
