⭐️ 2020 M1 Mac Mini: geni.us/OtR6 (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope you liked this list of M1 Mac Mini accessories. What was your favorite item? Do you have anything else that you think I should include in a part 2? Finally, which SSD and RAM configuration is right for you?
Yes sagi the video was awesome 💯. I think you covered everything in this part so no need for part 2. Fav accessories the ssds and mx master 3. Regarding the keyboard definitely clicky😂. Keep up the good work 💯
Hi, thank you for the video. There has been a lot of reports concerning problems with Bluetooth. Can I ask you if you had any with the keyboard and mouse? Thanks
Thanks for accessories recommendations. How are the speakers on the recommended monitor? I assume they are functional with the HDMI interface?? Any less expensive 4K monitors that you have tried that are compatible? Thanks.
Depending on how you are using it, you don't need any of that stuff (except a keyboard and mouse and monitor). I got mine to be a dedicated system for photography and Photoshop. The only thing I have besides those is a Wacom tablet and a hard drive to store my photos on (10 TB). I use clicky, btw, a dasKeyboard I've had for years.
Really didn’t enjoy Ross on ‘Friends’ but he’s awesome doing tech reviews. In all honesty though, absolutely love these reviews and the info you provide. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you.
The only thing that I would add to this would be the usb-c hub that is like half the height of the Mac mini but has the same footprint. It allows you to add an SSD drive to the Mac mini and also gives you access to the sad card reader and extra ports without filling your desk space up too much. I got the one from elecife but hagibis, and satechi make them as well. Clicky or non clicky really depends on the day for me lol
I also recommend and love the USB C Hub for Mac mini M1 with HDD Enclosure 2.5 SATA NVME M.2 SSD HDD Case to USB C 3.1 Gen 2 DP SD/TF docking station!!
Thanks for the video Sagi. As usual thorough and on point. I have the magic keyboard and magic touchpad instead of a standard mouse. BTW I got a Logitech mx keys for my kid and I think it beats out the magic keyboard. Heavier, seems more solid and the battery lasts over several months if you don’t use the backlighting. Not to mention the feeling of the keys is also great. Also you can do multiple pairing and quick switching between computers and data transfer between multiple devices, including between Mac and windows computers with the Logitech software.
@@michaelstarmer3497 Dell P2720DC which has display port in/out and 4 USB ports.....it’s also usb-C or HDMI so very very versatile. Bought mine from Amazon as Dell were just hopeless at delivery! Also bought the Logitech pebble and its companion keyboard K380 which can hook up to 3 different devices at the touch of a button. My sound sticks work superbly well and are connected and sound awesome, I have AirPods but use Skullcandy Sesh bluetooth phones for music. Bought the cheapest little 1080p webcam which works great and.....just because I’m a photographer and graphic artist I use a Wacom tablet too. With 16 external drives (a lot of images and video work!) I have attached 3 powered usb hubs - 2 x 10 port hubs to the USB ports on back of MacMini and a 4port plus 1 x iPad or iPhone charge socket. It’s taken a while to get everything working as I like/want but my desk is clean and I have a tidy office again, oh I also have a great Brother A3 WiFi printer too. Didn’t mean to write so much but having just come across Ross’s rundown I was just amazed. Hope you find the monitor for your Mac
What you said at the 2:00 minute mark is VERY IMPORTANT! Windows user since Windows 98. First time Mac owner here. I learned this the hard way. All of my keyboards, mice, and trackball are either Bluetooth or USB. I had to order a Magic keyboard and it will be here Monday. Can't wait to dive in to the world of Mac OS!
same problem here. i bought my mac mini second hand, and I am unable to get the keyboard paired via bluetooth. it's a brand new logitech mini mix keyboard. must i return it and buy an apple magic keyboard?
Sound ? I put a Yamaha ATS-1070 sound bar over my monitor …. & Absolutely Nailed It …. Clear voices & Superb Bass …. Its better than my Kef self powered speakers !!
That's the thing I love about the Mini, the things you were using or need to get you can and they work flawlessly if they are Apple products. In the case of a drive my Samsung SSD was a go right out of the box. Great Video.
Please add a link to the earlier video that you mentioned where you discuss using external SSDs, in particular regarding the performance hit that results. Thanks!
All your videos are so cool and informative, thanks. Need your view on the monitor, the benq ex27080q is not 4K 60 Hz instead it’s 2k 144Hz, how is this monitor performance with M1 Mac mini ? Do your suggest any other options that works best for Mac mini ? Thanks in advance
Being an aspiring Author! Hoping to make a success as an author! I enjoy working with a clicky keyboard! Working and writing while not only getting a great tactile feedback but ALSO to have the satisfaction of HEARING each keystroke!
You presented an outstanding overview of lots of accessories for the new M-1 mac mini. Like yourself, I prefer a mechanical keyboard (grew up loving both type writers and that "click" sound) and use both the white Apple wired full size keyboard (with number pad) or the white Apple 1st generation wireless blue tooth full sized keyboard (with number pad) both from back during the 2000's. However, when it comes to a pointing device here, I depart from Apple products and prefer to use a white wireless USB toggle mouse from Targus. Being "Old School" what, I enjoy about this mouse is that it runs for about 2-years off of two AA batteries and when they start to run low on power it starts to flash a "red light" which, lets the user know that soon the batteries will need to be replaced.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your journey and insight. 2 years with no charging is really nice - not gonna lie. I charge this mouse every few 3/4 weeks I think - I just plug it in overnight and it's good to go. I always have a USB Hub on my desk regardless, so if I run out of battery, I can use it in wired mode (because I'm HORRIBLE at checking out the battery level lights, lol).
As for keyboard, I use a Corsair K95 RGB Platinum coupled with a Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB mouse. I like having the macro keys on both as I use them frequently in both entertainment and productivity software. Sadly, my old Bella keyboard is no longer supported by Apple |:-( But oddly enough still works with FCPX even though it shows up as an unknown keyboard! Really like your presentation and your clear, distinct speaking style which is spot on for speed, and clarity. Seems like to use the Mac Mini M1, it pretty much needs a hub. My needs for a hub differ from yours, as I'd prefer to have on board M.2 and SSD capability to cut down on the wires, and also keep the power requirements to a minimum (we're going to be going fulltime RV'ing shortly) as I'll be needing an offgrid capability.
If I was all alone I probably wouldn't mind clickiness, but it would start sounding like the good old days before retirement in cubicle city, clickity clack lots of talk back. :-) And for zoom-style meetings that could be a distraction. Nice show.
I'm actually curious; the USB Hub seems to have very short cable. How do you extend that cable all the way to the back (assuming the mac mini is at the back of your desk and the hub is in the front)?
Don't buy the Mac Mini M1 until do research on it's issues with using a switcher for sharing a screen. I have a X1 Carbon and a 34 inch Samsung curve 100 Hz screen. The switcher helps me toggle between the Mac Mini and the work laptop X1 Carbon. However, after the latest 11.4 software update, the Mac Mini can't work with the switcher anymore. I tested the switcher with my son's MacBook and his Microsoft Surface with my Samsung screen. It worked fine. So its the Mac Mini with an issue not many people know of.Stay away from the Mac Mini until Apple admits the issue and the OS updates have taken care of it. As of today 28 may 2021, its a problem.
Thank you, I accidentally brought Mac Mini before watching this video. Luckily, I haven’t used it yet. I will make sure to to get these accessories first before I use the machine as you suggested
I just bought the wireless Apple magic keyboard, but dopey me forgot to see if backlighting was an option. This is the only drawback for me and I can't use it if it is dark cos my eyes are getting worse each year. Good vid mate.
You know something, before the Apple Mac, this is how Macs came: No keyboard, no monitor, no mouse. Back in the early 1990s, Mac struggled with market share because it was greedy. At the time 95% of computers out there were PCs. Of course, this was to do with MS making the DOS, then Windows, open architecture. Macs were not home computers, they were for professionals working in design, either publishing or actual graphic design. All the best graphic software was on Mac. However, the world was run on MS and Intel chips. Back then everything was ridiculously expensive. I bought a PC, with a Intel 386 running at 20Hz. It had a 20Mb hard drive, a 3.5in floppy disk, a 5.25in floppy disk and a 14in monitor. That unbranded lot, cost me £1700 in 1991. A similar Mac would have been double the price. I eventually moved over to Mac in 2011, because my friend and boss bought me a MacBook Pro as a work laptop. I’m afraid, coming from windows/dos to Mac OS X, was an eye opener. I still prefer the MacOS. Everything is obvious and simple, unlike Windows which is still sh1te compared to Mac. I have to use an intel laptop for work. It takes me twice the time to do anything on windows. It interrupts with constant notifications for re-starts, updates, etc. I bought an M1 Mac Mini as a family computer. It’s attached to an sRGB calibrated 34in curved Philips monitor, apple keyboard and trackpad. I got a much better system than the iMac, for the same price. Mac has gone full circle with the Mac mini. I like this concept now, because you’re not tied in, like you used to be. Thanks for the great video.
Audioengine products are great, however I have experienced chronic drop offs with my iPhone and iPad Pro with the A5+ and B1 receiver. My MacBook Pro and Mac mini are solid however. I am peeved that Apple has made ATPX codec so difficult to enable on the MacBook Pro. I mean, why even bother having the codec if its buried and disabled by default and requires the use of the command line prompt to enable? Great video except you missed THE most important accessory of all... the monitor! I know that would have been too large a subject for this video, but you could have dropped a few recommendations like the BenQ PD3220U.
I have Apple TV with a Panasonic tv monitor. Can I buy one of these and plug it in using it the same? I have a Magic Mouse and keyboard. Will it work with the Panasonic
Speakers - I use an echo 4th generation with aux. Works perfect and I get to use Alexa capabilities as well when the mac is not using the echo as a speaker.
Hi, for me a not clicking keyboard. I’ve always had an iPhone and iPad but I’m new to Mac and I’m thinking of buying the M1, and I really don’t want a Mac Book. Can I buy a Mac Mini in Canada and use it in Europe? My concern is the power source Canada and the US is 110 and Europe is 220 voltage. Any thoughts. I hope will be retiring soon and living 6 months in Europe and 6 months in Canada for the next year or so then it will be full time Europe. Thanks for the tech videos. Really helpful and informative.
What a great video. Lots of ideas for kitting out my new M1 mini. What kind of cable are you running from the vava hub to your mini? I’m going to try the under-desk hub set up like you show. And clicking. I have an MX keyboard which I love, but I wish it would make some noise!
I like the look of the magic keyboard, and that it has the numpad, but clicky keys are awesome! And with Mice, I'm all about logitech. Loved my mx1000 mouse/keyboard combo. Still have them and they work but I'm using a wired mouse and keyboard currently. As far as speakers go, I'm a big fan of Klipsch, I still have a set of pro media 4.1s that I bought from a friend of mine in 2001 or 2002. I've had to replace electronic components inside on the amp, and repair the surround on both the subwoofers, but it was worth it! :)
Hello! I hope that you are able to answer my technical question because no one at Apple is able to. I am finally leaving the PC world and giving up on my HP laptop for an Apple product, most likely the iMac mini. Until now, I had my laptop and two LG monitors. Would I be able to continue using my two LG monitors with the mini? If so, How and which port is the primary port for the first screen and which port would be for the secondary screen?
Love from India❤️ Can I edit 4K on my macbook via an external ssd like samsung T7 and finish rendering whithout having that much storage in macbook? I have 256gb Macbook..:)
Why didn’t you go with Logitech Keyboard. I order the Logitech MX Keys Advanced Illuminated Wireless Keyboard for Mac - Bluetooth/USB and Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse for Mac - Bluetooth/USB. What do you think
I heard about bluetooth issues so I opted with a wired keyboard. I did have an issue loosing my trackpad connectivity, took hours before it reconnected mysteriously, so far it seems to be ok again, so it could be the wonky BT issue.
You can keep the keyboard plugged in on USB from the mini, so I am not sure the BT kicks in while plugged in. I prefer the Magic without the number pad so if there is an issue, I will just keep it plugged in. Have not found it yet but if there is, I will go there
I was very surprised you did not talk about monitors. I read some of the comments and will probably buy the best 4K monitor I can afford if I go the Mac Mini route.
Hi Sagi ... great video. I’m replacing my current Mac mini. And have been debating about M1 versus Intel (2018). On my current Mac Mini, I’m using all the ports, including FireWire (to a Lacie drive array). Wondering your thoughts about the M1 versus Intel and how to get FireWire into the new Mac Mini’s. Also, the M1 has a 4 week wait time for product while the Intel I can get in 3 days. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ross, I like the video and content you shared, they are perfect accessories for my M1 mac. I have a quick question regarding the "Curl effect in your Video" you used. May I know which Editing software you used for this effect?
Are you saying the Mac mini will connect to a 2009 Cinema Display (Mini DisplayPort) using only a USB C to Mini DisplayPort adapter, and no additional power brick?
Another excellent video Sagi! I do like your motto as it dovetails nicely into what was drilled into my head by my engineering professors, namely if you don't have enough time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find the time to do it right the second time? What I'm really curious about is whether or not you have any experience with the BlackMagic design pocket cinema camera 4K? When I saw your external drive reviews, the OWC caught my attention, especially with its near internal drive speed. I think it would be a natural fit to use the OWC drive to directly save RAW image files to, and then just import them directly into FCPX. Or am I being a wanker here? It just seems like a natural choice, especially for doing 4K workflow. So what do you think?
I need to keep my windows machine for special apps. What accessories would you suggest for going back and forth with one monitor and if possible one keyboard and mouse? I have always been a low click to no click guy. Any thoughts on a desktop scanner with the mini?
I wanted to get an iMac for editing vids/photos (adobe, AutoCAD, etc.), but since I can't afford it yet, i was thinking about the mac mini, is this worth buying for that?
Great advice, thanks for the video.. My advice is for you to use a de-esser on your VO and cut some of the sibilance, It would be a lot easier on my ears:)
my 2010 mac mini don't like SSD it gives me ? when i do restart when booting up only fix the trouble turn it off mac then back on then it works I have 1 tb Seagate SSD

You are really helping me with my research & future purchase of the M1 Mac Mini, good honest, no glossed up, sell, sell, sell reviews.
non-clicky, most of the time, all other things being equal. But the Logitech MX keyboard is a keyboard from heaven.
Thanks! It’s a really good board.

Hi Sagi what about a camera as most monitors don’t have an iSight built in ✌️
I’m a basic typer at best, but I love the “clicky”

I love the Magic Trackpad 2, won't go back to a mouse
Appreciate you sharing Frank! I'll definitely consider it for a future video.
I find selecting text difficult with my Apple trackpad, so I stopped using it and gave it to my daughter who loves it
Is it possible to use the old 27" Imac as an monitor and speaker?
Not clickey. Plus, I like the lower profile keyboards as they are easier on my wrists when working long shifts
"I love clicky."
r/MK: So, you have chosen death!
seriously, i am using the pebble too.. its good
Good value too. I now use the mouse from this video if I want a small mouse th-cam.com/video/lgOVzPl5vqQ/w-d-xo.html
How about dual monitor in mac mini sir? please upload thanks!
I like the look of the magic keyboard, and that it has the numpad, but clicky keys are awesome!
And with Mice, I'm all about logitech. Loved my mx1000 mouse/keyboard combo. Still have them and they work but I'm using a wired mouse and keyboard currently.
As far as speakers go, I'm a big fan of Klipsch, I still have a set of pro media 4.1s that I bought from a friend of mine in 2001 or 2002. I've had to replace electronic components inside on the amp, and repair the surround on both the subwoofers, but it was worth it! :)
Thanks for the input Sam 🙏🏻 appreciate you watching.
How to resolve issue of lagging mouse. They say it is because of interference caused by USB devices connected to mac mini. Its super irritating.
Hello! I hope that you are able to answer my technical question because no one at Apple is able to. I am finally leaving the PC world and giving up on my HP laptop for an Apple product, most likely the iMac mini. Until now, I had my laptop and two LG monitors. Would I be able to continue using my two LG monitors with the mini? If so, How and which port is the primary port for the first screen and which port would be for the secondary screen?
I could not find Drop THX headphones on Amazon or at the Drop Store on Amazon. Where can I buy these headphones?
Love from India❤️
Can I edit 4K on my macbook via an external ssd like samsung T7 and finish rendering whithout having that much storage in macbook?
I have 256gb Macbook..:)
Is there any wireless keyboard under $100 that is mac compatible
Brother Mac mini m1 chip can run video editing software some people told me m1 don’t have software so what is that
I think DaVinci Resolve has a beta version of a video editor that works on the m1.
Why didn’t you go with Logitech Keyboard. I order the Logitech MX Keys Advanced Illuminated Wireless Keyboard for Mac - Bluetooth/USB and Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse for Mac - Bluetooth/USB. What do you think
I already had the Magic Keyboard so I reused it. You'll love the MX keys though - I've used it. Thanks for watching Jeremy!
I heard about bluetooth issues so I opted with a wired keyboard. I did have an issue loosing my trackpad connectivity, took hours before it reconnected mysteriously, so far it seems to be ok again, so it could be the wonky BT issue.
You can keep the keyboard plugged in on USB from the mini, so I am not sure the BT kicks in while plugged in. I prefer the Magic without the number pad so if there is an issue, I will just keep it plugged in. Have not found it yet but if there is, I will go there
I was very surprised you did not talk about monitors. I read some of the comments and will probably buy the best 4K monitor I can afford if I go the Mac Mini route.
I mentioned it in my previous video and COMPLETELY forgot to include it 🤦🏻♂️ #fail. Here is what I use: th-cam.com/video/NFde9rsSlJE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Sagi ... great video. I’m replacing my current Mac mini. And have been debating about M1 versus Intel (2018). On my current Mac Mini, I’m using all the ports, including FireWire (to a Lacie drive array). Wondering your thoughts about the M1 versus Intel and how to get FireWire into the new Mac Mini’s. Also, the M1 has a 4 week wait time for product while the Intel I can get in 3 days. Thanks in advance.
From what i've been reading the M1's the only game in town ... Anybody?
Is there an updated 2023 version of this?
I am looking for a monitor for the Mac mini and was hoping that you would have suggested one!!
Can you connect a HomePod mini to a MacBook Pro? Thanks
i would need a screen What screen do u recommend??
Have u tried connecting iPad like 7th gen as main screen. If s then please tells us
Hi Ross, I like the video and content you shared, they are perfect accessories for my M1 mac.
I have a quick question regarding the "Curl effect in your Video" you used. May I know which Editing software you used for this effect?
Can you use old magic track pad and keyboard with new M1 mac mini? (circa 2012 accessories)
Great Information Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Can I use my iPad Pro Apple Magic Keyboard with the M1 Mac Mini?
Are you saying the Mac mini will connect to a 2009 Cinema Display (Mini DisplayPort) using only a USB C to Mini DisplayPort adapter, and no additional power brick?
Another excellent video Sagi! I do like your motto as it dovetails nicely into what was drilled into my head by my engineering professors, namely if you don't have enough time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find the time to do it right the second time? What I'm really curious about is whether or not you have any experience with the BlackMagic design pocket cinema camera 4K? When I saw your external drive reviews, the OWC caught my attention, especially with its near internal drive speed. I think it would be a natural fit to use the OWC drive to directly save RAW image files to, and then just import them directly into FCPX. Or am I being a wanker here? It just seems like a natural choice, especially for doing 4K workflow. So what do you think?
I prefer thocky because it sounds more like a keyboard and less like a mouse. I use a Corsair K55 membrane keyboard and it has a nice thock to it.
Any webcam recommendations?
Bought it and love it.
Any ergonomic recomendations?
Clicky - not all of the time, but yes. BTW - What happened to the printer?
I heard there was issues with bluetooth on mac mini has that been fixed with software updates?
I never had any issues (but I know others have mentioned it) so I haven't noticed a difference.
did you not run into bluetooth issue with the mouse?
I need to keep my windows machine for special apps. What accessories would you suggest for going back and forth with one monitor and if possible one keyboard and mouse? I have always been a low click to no click guy. Any thoughts on a desktop scanner with the mini?
I wanted to get an iMac for editing vids/photos (adobe, AutoCAD, etc.), but since I can't afford it yet, i was thinking about the mac mini, is this worth buying for that?
Nice work good review
Thanks so much!
Great advice, thanks for the video.. My advice is for you to use a de-esser on your VO and cut some of the sibilance, It would be a lot easier on my ears:)
my 2010 mac mini don't like SSD it gives me ? when i do restart when booting up only fix the trouble turn it off mac then back on then it works I have 1 tb Seagate SSD
Really helpful video, thanks. There's one other product you've got that I'd love to know where to grab...that bent plywood headphone stand is sweet.
Thanks so much Adam. I just added it to the description! Appreciate you being part of the channel.
A quality mouse is necessary. I'm still using an mx1000 and love it.
