Do they work on BIOS and GRUB screens? Not a blocking issue, but...
Yep, works just like any other USB keyboard.
Hint: there is a very BIG difference between "Bluetooth Keyboard" and a wireless keyboard with its own proprietary receiver-dongle (e.g. Logitech) at least as far as BIOS and UEFI (and grub) are concerned.
Very true - I didn't consider wireless == bluetooth. The Logitech wireless keyboard does come with a little 2.4GHz receiver dongle.
But those I saw that caught my attention are pure BT. The main idea is not for a PC, but for smart TV sets, I guess. The one I saw (because it was linked in an Amazon email) was a "Logitech K400 Plus", and the specs say "Bluetooth". But later on on the page it says "Unifying USB | Bluetooth". some also say: laser pointer https://www.amazon.es/dp/B00YTL47OQ?psc=1 (no, I'm not considering this one) So probably I have to seek for wireless keyboards with integrated touchpad with USB dongle Look at the photo of this one: Leelbox wireless, Touchpad 2.4GHz https://www.amazon.es/dp/B01KZP6VMU?psc=1 The article description in Spanish is about impossible to read, it has been automatically translated from some other language. I wish there were a button to disable the translation. It says Linux compatible (others do not). Specifies USB dongle. The keyboard I intend to use for booting, then I will start kodi. The rest I'll handle via ssh from desktop machine. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
