You couldn't pair them in Linux because you forgot to enable the
Bluetooth adapter, eg. hciconfig's output is empty.

Start the hid2hci daemon, and you will have Bluetooth.

It doesn't have scrolling because you're currently using the device in
"boot mode". Set it up properly using Bluetooth, and it'll work just
fine.
