I bought my elderly father a refurb all-in-one desktop Mac a couple

crappy Shenzen-special "wireless" keyboard. I assumed it was Bluetooth
at first but there's no dongle anywhere in the box, or instructions.

So you put in the AAA batteries, flip the "on" switch and power up the
Mac and nothing happens, the "wireless" keyboard and mouse don't do a thing.

I'll get him something better ASAP but in the meantime wtf do you do
with this thing?

If you think Bluetooth isn't working, try a USB mouse and keyboard.
If Bluetooth is working, and turned on, does it show any available keyboards
or mice to pair with? Connection isn't just automatic, you have to AUTHORIZE the
bluetooth item from the host computer.

Either System Preferences/Bluetooth or the Bluetooth pulldown menu is a place to start.

If I remember correctly when a Mac starts, if there is no input device conneted (keyboard or mice), it turns on automatically the BT and starts the BT assistant to connect a BT keyboard or mice.
