Question Can't change BIOS in Gigabyte mobo

[Cyberman45]

There have been previous posts re: Gigabyte mobo BIOS issues but I think this one has a slightly different wrinkle. Awhile back I activated quick boot and have now discovered that is apparently preventing me from getting into BIOS the normal way by repeatedly pressing the delete key during boot up. So I followed advice from other Tom's users and popped out the CMOS battery. That allowed me to get into BIOS and the screen presents several options including "use last good config" or "use defaults". And here's the wrinkle... neither the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard... or the number pad will respond. Therefore BIOS stays with "last good" and after a couple of seconds the pc finishies booting and I'm right back where I started. I should probably mention that the keyboard is wireless. I would very much appreciate any guidance on how to get around this dead-end loop. Many thanks in advance.

Not every wireless KB or mouse can work in BIOS as there are no drivers loaded yet until OS is booted. Se if you can borrow a wired one.
