For the last few years I've been on the same system with a wireless keyboard and mouse (gyration) connected via a USB dongle.

For my new build I have a Asus Z97 Pro MB and I'm installing windows 8.1 from scratch on to a SSD via boot USB.

OK.

I'm just realizing that my mouse/keyboard will most likely not work? Do I have to buy a cheapo USB corded keyboard and mouse JUST to set up bios and install windows?

Should I try to dig up an old PS plug KB and mouse?

I honestly never thought about it till now. My components arrive in the mail this week...

Advice?

Not a stupid question, cant be a stupid answer as answers hold knowledge, only stupid people as its the only element left available...Im just kidding its a good question and nothing wrong than asking ahead of time so you dont feel stupid and disappointed when it gets there and you cant do anything.
