To clarify, you are using a 2018 Mac mini without a monitor. Are you using a DVI or VGA to HDMI adapter plugged into the HDMI port to simulate the presents of a monitor? I have been under the belief that either a monitor must be connected to a Mac mini, or an adapter must be plugged

Alsa, a slite correction, you do not need to connect a monitor. I am using a mac mini 2018 just fine without one. As for a usb keyboard, yes you should be fine. The windows key is your command key and your ault key is your opsion key. Outside of that, it will work. Matthew Sent from

you ordered for your new Mac mini. What processor, how much RAM and SSD storage did you go for. I’ve been considering replacing my 2012 mini because the 1TB SATA HD is showing signs that it isn’t as young as it once was, and is doing weird stuff. Apple lowered the price of SSD storage options

The Mac mini requires that you have a monitor connected to it in order for it to work. If you either don’t have a monitor, or don’t want to use one, you can use a DVI to HDMI adapter to fool the Mac mini into thinking a monitor is connected. These adapters used to be included with a Mac mini

I have a 2012 Mac mini, and I find the internal speaker completely inadequate for regular use with VoiceOver or anything else. I have looked at the 2018 Mac mini, and it doesn’t seem any different.. The speaker’s opening in in the back below the peripheral connectors and sounds like
