I plan to get a mac mini for my wife with a logitech dinovo (bluetooth keyboard/trackpad). My question is: will the computer be able to boot and recognize the keyboard? I don't have a USB keyboard/mouse and I don't want to have to buy one just to set it up.

The bad news is you have to use the USB keyboard to set it up.

The system will automatically display the Bluetooth setup assistant if no keyboard or mouse is found at startup. You should not need a USB keyboard.

Good luck with it. Page 2 of my Apple Wireless Keyboard User Guide states required USB keyboard and mouse for set up, install all firmware and software updates.

Let us know how it goes please? I followed the guide's recommendation thinking that was the go!
