Hi, I have a BT keyboard that can also be connected to a PC via usb cable. I prefer to have everything wireless to make the desk clean. Whenever I go to BIOS or bootloader to choose the OS of my dual-boot system, my keyboard does not work wirellessly. I have to connect it to the PC via a usb cable first before I can use the keyboard in the BIOS or bootloader. Is there any way to make BT keyboard works in BIOS and boot drive selector?

No, your bios would have to have build in bluetooth support and enumerate as keyboard which it won't do because that's a function of the receiver. Get a USB wireless keyboard instead if you must have wireless.

No bt function on bios. There are some keyboards that works with all methods I think, wired, wireless and bt.
