Using bluetooth keyboard to enter BIOS?

I recently purchased the Microsoft wireless optical desktop keyboard and mouse. I can't figure out how to access the BIOS using the bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard works fine in Windows, but at the POST screen, I hammer on the delete key to enter the BIOS and it does nothing. Does anyone know of a secret option somewhere or a setting that I can change that will allow me to use the bluetooth keyboard to enter the BIOS? Having to plug a PS/2 keyboard in everytime I want to enter the BIOS is becoming somewhat ridiculous. Thank you in advance.
 
nope. aint gonna happen any time soon. mobo makers have to make bioses the support BT HID devices before it will happen, and it wont happen till more people use BT... kind of a vicious cycle aint it?
 
I built a PC with the Logitech Bluetooth KB and Mouse and I believe I was able to enter the BIOS with that setup.
It was the Logitech Bluetooth MX Duo..
 
Indeed, I see in the specs on the logitech site that the two bluetooth keyboards they offer have "true boot support". Yet another reason why Microsoft and their products suck. Thanks for the information... Anyone wanna buy a used Bluetooth Desktop for $60?
