How do I enter my BIOS if I only have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse?

I'm going to build my custom pc in a few days, but I haven't thought about this before. I only have a bluetooth keyboard, which would require that I install software for a bluetooth adapter to work. How would I enter my BIOS in the first place so that my computer can start working?

What KB do you have? From what I've read, some BT KBs support BIOS entry pre OS install. For instance Logitech via an optional included cable, and MS via starting out in 2.4GHz, then switching to BT.

And best to repeatedly tap Delete vs press once on bootup.

Also, if you mange to get into the BIOS but cannot get settings to respond, if it's a modern MB that has a BIOS with mouse support, make sure you have a mouse connected. You may need to use a USB or non BT wireless one to do so. Just saying because a LOT of wireless mice can run in charging/wired mode.
