Public bug reported:

Right now, only Bluetooth legacy pairing (and I think SSP - JustWorks)
is supported by the system settings. That means, newer keyboards,
requiring Secure Simple Pairing with DisplayPin/EnterPin modes can't be
paired from the ui.

This is the dialog that's missing on the touch version of system
settings in order to pair "newer" keyboards:

At the moment, it is required to use bluez-simple-agent from commandline
to pair such a keyboard. For completeness, this is the steps required to
pair from command line:

* put keyboard into discovery mode
* hcitool scan
* bluez-simple-agent hci0 <device-addr>
* now bluez-simple-agent will instruct you to enter that pin, like the missing 
dialog should do
* qdbus --system org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0/<device-addr> 
org.bluez.Input.Connect()
* Now go to the system settings app, and check the "Connect automatically when 
detected" box
