I have had some issues with my "microsoft keyboard elite for bluetooth" and the current version of bluez. When binding the keyboard i am asked to enter a key, when i enter the key and click on the ok button, the window disappears after a couple of seconds and the keyboard isn't bound. if i type the key on the keyboard and press enter BEFORE the window disappears the keyboard is bound, but unusable (no keypress response).

Could a way of adding a keyboard without having to use a link key be added, as this was the way i got my keyboard to work previously with bluez and also with windows on the same machine without having to re-bind it (i dual boot, although i don't use windows much).

Thanks 
Richard
