Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse in Fedora 25
Had some issues using the default bluez bluetook GUI within Fedora 25 connecting to the Arc Touch Bluetooth mouse in Fedora 25. The bluetooth GUI would show "Not Setup" and no amount of clicking would allow me to perform any actions on the mouse.Then I found bluetoothctl, which when ran from the command line allows you to perform actions with devices the bluetooth adapter can see to which it can pair and connect.
# sudo bluetoothctl
[bluetooth] devices
[bluetooth] trust [MAC of mouse]
[bluetooth] pair [MAC of mouse]
Then the prompt will change to [Arc Touch BT Mouse] and you can run info to show the current status.

It does appear that there is some sort of use timeout period where the connection will disconnect but then activating the mouse by moving it reconnects it, need to investigate if this is some udev rule or setting to prevent the timeout from occuring.
