    Best Value

    The Macally Ultra-Slim USB Wired keyboard is a wired USB keyboard for Macs with scissor-switch keycaps. It looks like an Apple product but is almost half the price, with the same functionality and layout as Apple's own keyboards. Since it is a wired keyboard, you won't have to worry about charging it, either as it connects with USB-A to your Mac Mini.

If you decided to buy a Mac Mini M2 2023 model, then you'll definitely need a keyboard to go along with it.

Whatever your keyboard needs might be, we've got you covered. We collected nine of our favorite keyboards for the Mac Mini M2 2023 model. All of these keyboards are special to Macs, with the unique keyboard layout in the corner. Check them out below.

The best keyboards for your Mac Mini

There are many keyboards that you can buy for your Mac Mini, including Apple's own Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, which comes in at a pricey $200. Still, it's one of the best options because it's made by Apple and certified for your Mac. The convenience of TouchID also means you can log into your Mac using the keyboard and worry less about passwords. You can't go wrong with a traditional wired keyboard, either, which cuts our worries about batteries and recharging since it can hook up straight to your Mac's USB-A port on the rear.

There are even alternatives to the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, like the Logitech MX Keys S, which has a layout friendly to macOS and Windows, is backlit and can work with different devices. But if these don't fit your needs, then don't worry. We have a guide to the best mechanical keyboards which might have something you'd want to buy.
