Bluetooth KB getting into BIOS

Alloneword · 11 Mar 2014 at 18:47

I'm looking for a wireless KB first thought was Logitech K810 which is bluetooth (Mainboard is Asus Z87 Deluxe,has BT on board) but i'm wondering how does one go about getting into the bios normally, i'd hit delete key but i'm guessing this KB will be dead until i get into windows and the drivers start to work.

I know on my board i can hook up the case's reset switch to get me into the bios but i'd rather not do that, i'd rather have a keyboard that will work before it gets into windows, are all BT keyboards out and my only option is to look for a normal USB keyboard.

Some bluetooth keyboards do manage to work before Windows is loaded, don't ask me how (they start up in some kind of special non-bluetooth mode). I used to have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard and I never had any problems getting into the BIOS.

But according to the Logitech web site, you're out of luck with the K810 - http://logitech-en-emea.custhelp.co...4/lt_product_id/10178/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/gb,en

I've just been to try my wife's K800 keyboard (which is wireless but not bluetooth) and I got into the BIOS with that.
