The original HID proxy software needs the link key of the keyboard. At the moment the Linux HID code don't asks for a PIN code when connectiong a keyboard the first time. I worked on it, but I ran into troubles with some non CSR chips. Once you connected your keyboard you only have to request an authentication with "hcitool auth ..." and everything should work afterwards.
