Trying to connect keyboard and mouse to Bluetooth

Thu Aug 25, 2016 5:19 am

I have Logitech K350 keyboard and mouse and trying to connect them to Bluetooth. When it scans, it shows a lot of MAC addresses. How can I identify which ones are the keyboard and mouse. No names is very difficult to identify them. I have tried using the UI. Same thing no names. Is there other way(s) to do it?

[bluetooth]# scan on

Logitech are usually very good at providing a little label somewhere showing the address of the device.

In bluetoothctl you can use the 'info <bdaddr>' to get more information about each device, including its name.

That's a lot of Bluetooth devices.
