Did you run the --connect command after finding the device? (I assume
so, but BT is magic)
When I was playing with bluetooth, I never once got --connect to
work, the only thing that ever caused the keyboard to appear
was doing a --search, then (before the search timed out) taking
the back off the keyboard and pressing the connect button.
I have since gotten everything working with the USB dongle, and
it functions perfectly. I never have to push any buttons on the
keyboard or dongle (even if I reboot or move the dongle to a
different computer), the USB interface lets the keyboard work
in the BIOS screen and in grub, etc.
I have abandoned bluetooth till I happen to get something that
only works in bluetooth mode and I am forced to try again :-).
Here's the tale of my keyboard:

Thank you for documenting, I would love to have BT speakers and printing
working, the current setup really rots.
