“Will this work with the Mac at startup to get into boot menus and diagnostics if needed? Some aftermarket keyboards won't.”

• If you connect via Bluetooth, then no because your Mac won’t connect to Bluetooth devices at that point in the boot process. If you use the RF connection (i.e. the USB dongle) then as far as your Mac is concerned it’s a plug-in USB keyboard and it can be used to send boot commands by holding down certain keys or key combinations during boot. Note that the USB port on the MX Keys for Mac keyboard is for charging ONLY, it does not carry data. The keyboard sends data to the Mac via Bluetooth or RF only, not the cable.

• You can use the keyboard connected via Bluetooth, or by using the USB dongle. Out of the box, it should work if you use the USB donglge connection method.

• Hello BachTrumpetGuy! It should work using the Unifying Receiver or the USB-C charging cable (keyboard plugged in to your Mac), but maybe not via Bluetooth though.
