What current Apple Keyboard is compatible with a Mac Mini Late 2012? Thank you
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Earlier Mac models
Anything with a USB cable that plugs into the mini. Older keyboards than that would have an ADB connector.
Even the current standard keyboard should work.
But it doesn't have to be an Apple keyboard. I've been using the (now discontinued) Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 on my Macs for well over 15 years.
You're welcome.
I also have to pull back on the latest keyboard I linked to. I thought the image of the cable was Thunderbolt on one end and USB-Type A on the other. It's not. The other end is USB-C. You can still use it, but you can't plug that keyboard in without a USB-C female to USB-Type A male adapter.
In a search for older, genuine Apple USB wired keyboards, I had to resort to eBay.
Thank you
Perfect, thank you for this additional information, very helpful
Which Apple-branded keyboard can I use with a Mac mini manufactured in 2012?
