Will this magic keybiard work with sn old Mac mini? null

The Magic Keyboard comes with new Macs but it also works with old Macs, and with iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It connects over Bluetooth, so you can pair it with anything and everything that supports that standard, but Apple's also made it pair instantly over Lightning with the Mac, making it faster and easier to get started than ever. You do need a new M1 or later apple chip for the sensor key to work.

This model only works with apple silicon chips if im not mistaken.

It will work. However, the Touch ID key will be unusable.

Yes, but not every feature (ie TOUCH ID). If you can, it would be worth it to just buy the older version- it'll save you money since you can utilize every feature on this keyboard unless you have an M1 mac.

It has to be an Apple CPU that is compatible with TouchID. If you don’t have TouchID, there’s no reason to get this keyboard.

Yes, if it has Apple M-something chip. Otherwise no.

According to Apple, this keyboard is ONLY supported by Mac computers with an Apple M1 or newer chip. The following list of compatible devices is directly from Apple's website: Mac Model(s) (chip, release year): MacBook Air (M1, 2020 / M2, 2022) MacBook Pro 13" (M1, 2020 / M2, 2022) MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro / Max, 2021) MacBook Pro 16" (M1 Pro / Max, 2021) iMac 24" (M1, 2021) Mac Studio (2022) Mac mini (M1, 2020)

I found the answer on 9to5Mac. https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/03/magic-keyboard-with-touch-id/ Like I suspected, just a bluetooth keyboard without touch id working.

I am wondering the same thing. I'm guessing it will work just like any other bluetooth keyboard but the touch ID won't work. That has something to do with the Apple chip in the newer computers. I like the color myself as I have the space grey Intel mac mini.
