Suitable Keyboards in Mac recovery mode

Hi

When I start my Mac in recovery mode my Logitech bluetooth keyboard of course doesn't work, and I have to use a windows usb Keyboard but of course the shortcuts are different.

Will it work with a Mac bluetooth keyboard with the lightening cable attached?


Thanks

S.

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

It should. Connecting the KB directly to the Mac will allow the wireless KB to act as a USB KB.


It's a very good idea to own at least one USB mouse and KB. They're very cheap insurance for those times wireless is contraindicated.
