Magic Keyboard charging questions

Is the Magic Keyboard usable while it is charging? And if so, when the battery is completely discharged, is the keyboard usable immediately upon plugging in, or is there a minimum charge it must reach before it can be used?

Mac mini 2018 or later

It works as a wired USB keyboard while it is charging (I sometimes connect it to the Lightning cable when I have to use some poorly shielded USB devices that block Bluetooth). I wish my old Magic Mouse could act the the same.
