A decent OS would just pair with a mouse and implement the workaround or
structurally fix the bug. The bug is confirmed, so it's up to someone to
fix it. Complain at the mouse vendor or at the developer and pick your
hardware carefully and Linux is fun and nice.

I reported this bug almost 2 years ago on an LTS release, I would have hoped for a fix by now.
Instead I have a laptop that freezes now on the new soon to be released LTS.
Had to rant a bit because I have had that a lot in the past. I don't see why a command line action is acceptable,for Linux to be great, these things should just work.

Title:
  mighty mouse bluetooth not pairing

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using the default GUI, I cannot pair my Apple Mighty Mouse.
  The mouse is detected, but when trying to pair, nothing happens and it is impossible to connect.

  It seems there should be an agent running to handle the pairing/pin stuff, I found that here:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/453655/ubuntu-14-04-bluetooth-magic-mouse-doesnt-pair-no-agent-available

  It might be an issue with more devices, I did not test it.

  So the fix:
  In a terminal as a normal user do:
  bluez-simple-agent
  then use pin 0000 (worked in my case).

  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:	14.04
