Can I use a wireless keyboard and mouse when first installing Ubuntu?

I have Intel NUC Skull Canyon coming in a week and other stuff like a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

How can I install the Ubuntu/ Xubuntu with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse?

This is the bt keyboard.

I only have the experience in installing Ubuntu on my laptop but never did it on this kind of case before. Did anyone install Ubuntu/ Xubuntu with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse before? Please give some advice and and tips.

Or maybe better off using the wired keyboard and mouse??

As explained in the comments, if there are drivers for your wireless keyboard in default installation, it will work. Otherwise, no drivers - won't work.

According to one of the question on the Amazon page you linked, that keyboard doesn't work with Linux. Source:

Although, according to the seller, it works in Android, so that answer isnt 100% reputable, I'd say.

Wired keyboards, particularly USB ones, are supported fully, so I would recommend you use that if you are unsure. Then after installation try testing your Bluetooth keyboard, maybe it'll work
