Turn a wired Mac keyboard into bluetooth

I have an older style wired keyboard with usb slots underneath it. I prefer to use this older keyboard as it has a number pad unlike the smaller bluetooth keyboard. Can I turn this wired keyboard into wireless by plugging a bluetooth "sender" into one of these ports? If so, what adapter should I look to buy?

Can I connect a bluetooth keyboard to a Mac Mini I have a mid 2011 Mac mini that I would like connect a bluetooth keyboard to. I bought it used and apparently there had been one connected previously. I've looked at keyboards on Amazon. But many of them specifically state they are not compatible with Mac Mini's. Are there some out there that will work?
