Bluetooth keyboard doesn't work during initial boot I have a MAC mini (M1, 2020, 16GB, 512GB) on Mac OS "Big Sur 11.6". I have Logitech "MX keys for MAC" Bluetooth keyboard and "MX master 3 for MAC" Bluetooth mouse. I have paired them successfully and they are working well. However, if I restart my Mac Mini, the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are not accessible during the initial boot screen (where the system prompts for the password). I need to use a wired USB keyboard to provide the password. After this, the system boots normally, and the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are auto-detected and start working normally. How do I fix this problem so that the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are available during the initial system boot phase?

Big Sur won’t recognize iMac Pro Bluetooth keyboard After updating to Big Sur on my 2017 iMac Pro, I’m stuck at the point when I need to enter my administrative password. Although the iMac recognizes my Bluetooth mouse, it recognizes no input from my Bluetooth keyboard. I can’t enter any characters at all. I checked the keyboard just before updating; it was charged to 67%. If I can find an old USB keyboard & plug it in, might that work? Help!

Is there Third Party software from Logitech for managing their devices, keyboard and mouse ? If so, check with Logitech for updated software compatible with the newer version of macOS Big Sur.
