From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't think they need pairing. It just worked for me. It's a generic one off amazon. The Microsoft one I got with the tablet broke after a month and the replacement one also broke after a month. I'm still kind of mad about it like 4 year later.
So...you just took it out of the box and it paired automatically? What's to stop it from pairing to the wrong device?
I think the tablet was just using it as a normal touchscreen. Therefore nothing to pair.
