Some of them would. See bug report at:

Pairing keyboards still doesn't work as expected, but I should get some
hardware soon to fix that.

Cheers

Hi Bastien:

Yeah, I'll definitely agree these keyboards are quite finicky to get
paired. I was initially hoping your patch would help that, but then
realized it won't affect mine. It seems that the only way I've gotten
them to improve is if I remove any other devices that were paired with
them previously from the proximity and try to find a good combination of
pressing buttons in the GUI and pressing the power button on the keyboard.

I think the poster to that bug has the older pre-broadcom series of
this hardware, which would explain the similar ID to the mighty mouse.

Regards
