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.
