No reason to believe it wouldn't. A keyboard is a keyboard.

Once a Bolt dongle is paired it just appears as a regular USB keyboard regardless of OS.

Oh right. So I should be okay then.

I read that to pair, you need the Logi Bolt App to pair Logi Bolt compatible devices with the Logi Bolt receiver. That's what's thrown me.

Yeah but you only need it for pairing.
I think any Bolt device also supports Bluetooth (since Bolt is really just Bluetooth with proprietary Logitech extensions) so technically you can just use a normal Bluetooth dongle as well, if your MiSTer setup is limited in terms of USB ports. But if that's not an issue, then you might as well use the Bolt dongle, since you can only have so many BT devices at once on a single dongle.

Ah, well, this is all a relief. Thank you.
