Bluetooth Keyboard Recognition in Setup?

[legaleye3000]

I had to install a new hard drive in my Mac Mini and used a mouse to install OSX. I'm in the initial OSX setup and I'm needed to put in my name, pw, etc., but I can't because it won't recognize the keyboard. Is this possible or do I have to go buy a wired keyboard? Thanks.

I had the same problem with a mini late 2014 (I only had blue-tooth KB and trackpad): Unlike the little book that came with the mac mini said, You just need to start setting up the trackpad/mouse, after that the KB.

Make sure it is not paired with another mac.
