The process requires mouse and keyboard. If you can't use the wireless, you must use wired.


You don't have to spend a lot of money; for standby purposes cheap will do. But you have to have them. Maybe you can borrow from friends or family.

This morning, I was not thinking and switched off Bluetooth on my M2 Mac mini Pro (macOS 13.5). I did not have any means to reinstate Bluetooth until I unplugged my wired mouse from the iMac and connected it to the Mac mini. This is the value of having a cheap, spare, and compatible wired mouse handy.


That Inland wired mouse is under $5 USD at MicroCenter.
