I think what he meant was, how do you accept the keyboard prompt if this is the initial keyboard connected to the system? Same goes for mouse. A bit of a chicken and egg problem, unless you blindly accept the first keyboard plugged into the system, which defeats the point.

Showing a PIN on the screen, to type in, helps a long way. But what if I replace the USB cable for your keyboard? (Or replace the whole keyboard, but that's more noticeable.) Most people would just re-authenticate their keyboard immediately, because this stuff sucks enough that we don't even blink when we need to redo a Bluetooth pairing because the planets changed their alignment again.
