Undetected Logitech MX 5500 Keyboard and Mouse
Solution 1:
That is part of a bug had been around for a while. Launchpad Bug 870227.
The only fix for now for 12.10 is to have a separate keyboard (or boot in to an OS that can modify your installation) and go in to /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules
and comment out these lines:
# Logitech devices
#KERNEL=="hiddev*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", \
#RUN+="hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p"
Just put a #
at the beginning like in the code above.
Solution 2:
This problem also occurs in 16.04 LTS.
The problem is that you can't enter the pin when trying to pair the keyboard/mouse in bluetooth settings.
Found this solution which works for my own MX 5500 Keyboard and mouse

On 15.10 Wily Werewolf though, the path to the modified file is:
/lib/udev/rules.d/97-hid2hci.rules
I modified line 14:
From:
KERNEL=="hiddev*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[3bc]",
To:
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[3bc]",
Thank you for sharing the solution :)
