Hey guys,



I'm currently in the market for a new 2.0 Mac Mini, however, I just can't decide which keyboard and mouse i should get. I don't really like the Apple keyboard, and the mighty mouse is pretty bad. I am currently using a slim Kensington keyboard, which I must say is a very good keyboard. My mouse is a logitech G9 gaming mouse which I really love.



Question is will I be able to use both of them on my Mac Mini by just plugging it in to the USB ports on the back of the Mini? I really want to keep them, they are both black and I like to match my desktop.



If i can't use them, is there a way to program them to work with my Mini?

If there is a way to program them, how do I do it?



Thanks!

    Yes you can use them. As far as any additional buttons on the keyboard go you would most likely be able to download a mac version of the software the keyboard/mouse website.

    You're keyboard will work just fine. The Logitech G9 mouse will work fine as a regular mouse but this model is not listed as a Mac model by Logitech which I think means it can't have special programs assigned to buttons (like can be done for Mac use on their MX and VX series mice).
