My mouse is not working in Recovery mode and I'm unable to select "continue" to try reinstalling macOS Big Sur. Completely stuck here.

Attempted to upgrade to Big Sur and failed. Now I'm trying to reinstall using Recovery mode and my mouse doesn't work. I haven't been able to use the keyboard to navigate to the "continue" button so I'm stuck on this page. Any advice?

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 10.15

Sorry to hear that. You may have a temporary Bluetooth issue. Now plug in your mouse into a USB port on the Mac and see if it's responding.
