How to pair a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard with your Mac Click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen. It looks like this . Click on System Preferences. I plugged in the USB cable of the wireless receiver, booted up the mac mini, and set-up process recognized the Logitech keyboard. Once I was done setting up the mac mini, I went to settings and added the apple wireless keyboard, which finally worked at that point. I would expect a better set-up process from an apple product.
would probably not come on; unless the components were from different regions.
It would appear the switching device interferes with the automatic recognition factor.
And if someone else has a better theory or can check this premise further, welcome!
When no alternative keyboard is attached, the option key suggested in Apple Help
(in computer's finder) no longer exists; so to test instructions given there are worthless.
According to Apple Help, in Tiger 10.4.11:
'When you connect a keyboard that is not immediately recognized, the Keyboard Setup
Assistant automatically opens so you can specify the keyboard type (ANSI, JIS, or ISO).
There are three keyboard types that Mac OS X recognizes: ISO (Europe), JIS (Japan), and
ANSI. The ANSI keyboard is a standard 101-key layout widely used in the US, North America,
and many other parts of the world.
If you are having trouble with your keyboard, you may need to specify the type manually. You
can use Keyboard & Mouse preferences to open the Keyboard Setup Assistant and specify the
keyboard type..'
{There is no suggestion in the Help database on how to ignore suggestions of the Keyboard Setup
Assistantwhen it is prompted to open to allow the user a choice in manually chosing a keyboard type.}
Perhaps the USB switching device you have in use is not supportive of OS X or
has a defect in firmware, etc? There may be some way to address the concern
from a command line or single user level; below the GUI.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

Most importantly:
Getting up and running with the Mac mini can be a hassle. For initial setup, you need a wired keyboard and mouse; my Logitech ergonomic keyboard and MX Master 3, which both connect over Bluetooth, were useless. They work fine after setting up the machine, but just be aware so you don't run into this initial headache like I did.

This is so important, I think Apple should put a note up on the order page so folks have time to grab these items if they need them.

UPDATE: Interestingly, it seems as if Apple's wireless gear uses clever USB-protocol tricks so THEY work with the Mac mini setup. Not so for third party gear. Good to know.
