Probably a shot in the dark, but would there be anyway to somehow boot a new build without using a keyboard ?

Finally finished putting together my first ever build, only to find out the keyboard I was planning to use doesn't work. I will be buying one tomorrow, but I'm impatient and after working most of the day building it all I wanna do now is test it out.

So is it possible, or will I have to wait it out ?

For most computers you need a keyboard to go into the bios and enable keyboardless mode. With Windows 8's on-screen keyboard you could probably get away with installing the OS, but you would still need it for that initial setup.

Ah well, that's what I thought. Tbh, after sitting with it for most of the day, I'm pretty damn tired, so the idea of waiting doesn't sound so bad anymore. Cheers anyway guys.
