Are you happy with your Mac mini? With the following accessories you ensure that you get the most out of this small computer.
The best Mac mini accessories
With a Mac mini you get a small, but lightning-fast computer at home. The device hardly takes up any space, is silent and, thanks to the M2 chip, can handle all your tabs, apps and streams. With the following accessories for the Mac mini, you can ensure that you really get the most out of this computer!
display
First of all, you need a screen. The nice thing about the Mac mini (compared to the iMac) is that you can choose which screen you use. No one is stopping you from putting a large widescreen screen on your desk.
If budget is not an issue, then the very best display to choose from is the Apple Studio Display. This 27″ screen is available directly from Apple from 1779 euros. However, if you want a stand that is adjustable in height, you will have to pay 2239 euros.
If you have less to spend, there are a lot of beautiful monitors for sale these days for a small price. We have listed a few excellent budget models for you below. Please note: the Samsung monitor does not have built-in speakers.

The LG budget monitor below is specially made for Apple products and was also developed together with Apple. Perfect for the Mac mini.

Keyboard
One of the most important accessories for the Mac mini is a keyboard. You can connect it both wired and wireless. Many people swear by mechanical keyboards. These have higher keys where each key has its own switching mechanism. However, mechanical keyboards are a lot louder than normal keyboards, but enthusiasts never want anything else.
The keyboard we recommend for the Mac mini is the Apple Magic Keyboard. This wireless keyboard is not only very thin and minimalistic, but also has Touch ID. With Touch ID you can not only log in to your computers, but also pay with Apple Pay and log in to your password manager super fast and enter all your passwords.

Mouse
In addition to a screen and keyboard, you can of course not do without a mouse. You also have these in all shapes and sizes, but if you buy a Mac mini that does not stand out, you probably also want a mouse without a wire.
Then it’s best to go for Apple’s Magic Mouse to complete the picture, but it’s also smart to look around a bit further. Other manufacturers also make nice mice that you don’t charge by plugging a cable into the bottom. Logitech in particular stands out in this category, with mice that have many more buttons or are placed vertically because this is better for your wrist.

Hub
You can place your Mac mini in a dock or hub. These make your Mac mini slightly larger, but expand its capabilities immensely. Take Satechi’s hub for example. This gives you more ports on the front of the Mac Mini to make it easier to connect different accessories.
You also get the option to read memory cards and connect headphones. Space has also been reserved to add an SSD so that you can expand the Mac mini with more storage space.
Mount
The last device on this list of Mac mini accessories is a mount, which allows you to hide the small device even better. You can then easily attach the Mac mini to the wall. The computer can also be placed vertically without any problem.
Or you mount the device under your desk, so that the computer is completely out of sight. As long as you make sure that the computer can continue to breathe and that the air supply is sufficient. A suitable mount is, for example, the Sabrent Mac mini-mount with the same color as the computer.
