Keyboard Bluetooth Microsoft

Can you use a Bluetooth keyboard before Windows boots?
There are so many types of wireless keyboard/mouse combos out there… RF, IR, Bluetooth… This question is specifically about Bluetooth ones. Like these:

The question: can these keyboards work before logging onto Windows i.e. in the BIOS menu, boot menu etc?
These combos are the ones that come with their own receivers.
If it’s a combo that comes with its own receiver, than the receiver is probably designed to emulate a keyboard in BIOS mode. It probably will work.
I’d be more doubtful about just any bluetooth keyboard in just any bluetooth receiver.
