Apple Wireless Keyboard & mac mini - pqrst - 04-21-2009
Hi there
I am shipping an intel mac mini to someone (brand new OS install) and they have a brand new Apple wireless keyboard (and Apple wireless mouse). Will they be able to get the two to talk to each other (without needing a wired keyboard for the install)? They don't have any computer equipment already (ie: usb keyboard or mice).
Thanks in advance.

I think they should be fine - it does have Bluetooth built-in, yes? (didn't all models have that? I know they do now.)
If a keyboard isn't plugged in to the machine, and Bluetooth is present in the system, OS X immediately looks for BT Keyboards/Mice and should connect fine and/or open up the configuration screen for connecting successfully.
I wouldn't worry about it.

The mini will start the bluetooth pairing process if no input devices are connected at boot.
