For one thing, it'd be good to determine whether this is a GUI thing (I
assume you're using the GNOME UI?) or something in BlueZ. The way to do
that would be to use the bluetoothctl tool that's part of BlueZ 5. The
commands you'd give it would go something like:

	agent on
	power on
	scan on
	<wait for mouse to show up>
	scan off
	pair <mouse addr>	(optional if the mouse doesn't support pairing)
	connect <mouse addr>
	trust <mouse addr>
