Assuming it behaves as a bluetooth HID, which seems likely, it should connect 
in the same way as bluetooth keyboards. Until recently this could be as 
simple as:
	hidd --search
Unfortunately hidd is deprecated, and no longer supplied in the recent 
packages. The current method involves dbus, with examples using dbus-send 
given at:

I _think_ someone recently posted a script to make this a little easier.
