A1312 Can’t Boot to Recovery?

Due to events ^, all I have to say now is:
Easy peasy. Create a USB (DVD) installer of High Sierra (on another machine) and boot with it.
"The keyboard is recognized and works (using a Logitech with Unify receiver, so not a Bluetooth issue)."
Does the Logitech keyboard have the capability to connect via USB?
If so, TRY THAT (instead of the unifying receiver).
If that doesn't change anything, try a different WIRED USB keyboard.
Even a PC USB keyboard might work (you may have to experiment to find which key to the left of the spacebar is the equivalent of "command"...)
If you try the above and it STILL doesn't work, I'm wondering if perhaps that Mac DOESN'T HAVE a recovery partition on it...?
If it doesn't, it might still be able to boot to internet recovery.
Have you tried that yet? (not the same as "the recovery partition"):
Command-OPTION-R
at boot.
