Mac mini late 2012 new keyboard

Can I connect my late 2012 Macmini running Catalina 10.15.7 with a new magic keyboard MK2A3ZA/A?

It won't connect bluetooth with the setup procedure, I can see it when I plug it in with the cable but it won't connect.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Keyboard not working! Hello! I have an old wireless magic keyboard (2003) I previously connected this keyboard to my iMac with macOS Catalina, but now I have upgraded my computer to Monterey. When I connect a keyboard via bluetooth, I don’t get a 6-digit pairing code. The code exits for 1 second and immediately disappears when I press the return key. As a result: I do not enter the code, the window with the code does not appear immediately to enter it on the keyboard. On macOS High Sierra, the code is released and you can connect. On the iPhone, the same as on Monterey, the window with the code exits and immediately disappears when I press return. How can I connect a keyboard to iMac? Are there any other ways? Through the terminal, for example? I really love this keyboard, it's comfortable!

That keyboard is not fully compatible with your 2012 Mac mini and macOS 10.15.
