I recently got a Dell bluetooth keyboard, and I haven't had any luck with getting it to connect. I've tried with both the Blueman manager and with the process recommended here (
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=125166) and either way I get basically the same results with hcidump.
Here's what I get from Blueman:

And here's what I get when I try from the command line:
