Getting Started

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, both of 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.

To set up an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse with your Mac mini,

follow the instructions that came with the keyboard and mouse.
