Hmm, my description was not really correct: I start with security mode 3 
(encryption/authentication), wait until the keyboard is connected, then 
switch off encryption/authentication, wait until the mouse is connected, then 
switch back to security mode 3. So, the keyboard connection is encrypted, but 
the mouse connection not.

This does not work (hidd: unrecognized option `--encrypt').
(I use bluez-utils 2.10).
