Your Mac mini doesn't come with a keyboard or a mouse, but you can use almost any USB keyboard and mouse. If your keyboard has a USB (d) port, plug your mouse into the USB port on the keyboard. If it doesn't, plug the mouse into a USB (d) port on the back of your Mac mini. If you use a USB keyboard that is not specifically designed for the Mac OS, it may not have a Command (x) or Option key, which are standard on Apple keyboards. The Command (x) key on an Apple keyboard is equivalent to the Windows key (the icon on the key looks like a Windows logo) on a keyboard from another manufacturer. The Option key on an Apple keyboard is equivalent to the Alt key on a keyboard from another manufacturer. You can use Keyboard & Mouse preferences to change the keyboard equivalents. To open Keyboard & Mouse preferences, choose Apple () > System Preferences, click Keyboard & Mouse, click Modifier Keys, and follow the onscreen instructions. Using a USB mouse or keyboard from another manufacturer may require software drivers. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest software drivers. Using a Wireless Keyboard or Mouse If you purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard or Mouse with your Mac mini, follow the instructions that came with the keyboard and mouse to set them up with your Mac mini. 14 Chapter 1 Ready, Set Up, Go

Your Mac mini doesn’t come with a keyboard or a mouse, but you can use almost
any USB keyboard and mouse. If your keyboard has a USB (
d
) port, plug your mouse
into the USB port on the keyboard. If it doesn’t, plug the mouse into a USB (
d
) port on
the back of your Mac mini.
If you use a USB keyboard that is not specifically designed for the Mac OS, it may not
have a Command (
x
) or Option key, which are standard on Apple keyboards. The
Command (
x
) key on an Apple keyboard is equivalent to the Windows key (the icon
on the key looks like a Windows logo) on a keyboard from another manufacturer.
The Option key on an Apple keyboard is equivalent to the Alt key on a keyboard from
another manufacturer.
You can use Keyboard & Mouse preferences to change the keyboard equivalents.
To open Keyboard & Mouse preferences, choose Apple (
) > System Preferences,
click Keyboard & Mouse, click Modifier Keys, and follow the onscreen instructions.
Using a USB mouse or keyboard from another manufacturer may require software
drivers. Check the manufacturer’s website for the latest software drivers.
