If you don't mind me asking, which model from the 06 line do you have? I have the early, 1.66GHz model, but if the keyboard's start-up strokes work for you, you might have the later, 1.83GHz model.
OK, well at least I know that the low charge to the keyboard's USB ports is part of the Mini design (since you can't use it for high-powered devices either) and not just a problem with my specific Mac. It just goes to show you they don't make them like they used to! That is very interesting that your Cube will charge the device, but the 06 Mini won't. Do you know if there is a way I can check just to be sure? Maybe the power consumption of the brick is listed in System Profiler or something, and then I can check that info against the 06 Mini power requirements. I don't think I'm using the wrong power brick, because this is the one that came with the original Mini. I've also tested every USB port on the Mini, with nothing else attached, just to be sure there wasn't a bad USB port or a power conflict, and yet the issue persisted. Are your keyboard USB ports working OK with your Mini? With mine, I get an error message that the device is drawing too much power, and I have to plug it directly into the Mini's USB port. Also, I tested the USB hubs on the keyboard, and they worked fine with the MBP. I did double check to ensure that the keyboard was not defective on a 2008 MBP, and the startup keystrokes were recognized.

Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply Intell! Hmm, that is interesting that you have your Mac Mini up and running with the new aluminum keyboard with no issue. Is this true, or is there something else I am missing entirely? It could be that the Mini's PSU isn't powerful enough to supply the necessary current to the keyboard's hub, and hence it is ignored at bootup. However, when I plugged the exact same keyboard and external into a Macbook Pro, there was no issue, and the drive was recognized normally. I attached an external USB-powered hard drive to one of the keyboard's ports, and I received the "Device is drawing too much power" error message from the Mini. I ensured that both keyboards were plugged into the same USB port when I tried them both, just to be sure it wasn't a faulty USB port problem.Ĭould it be that the aluminum keyboard, due to its USB hub, draws too much power from the Mini's power supply, so that it isn't loaded until after the boot sequence is finished? I do have other evidence which may support this theory. But when I used the Apple keyboard, there was no such luck.
The Mini recognized the keystrokes! I was able to use "C" "Option" and the other keystrokes without fail, and the disc booted properly.

To ensure that nothing else was wrong, I plugged in a generic Acer PC keyboard, and rebooted again. The keyboard works fine once I get to the login screen. I have the new USB wired Apple aluminum keyboard with the two USB 2.0 ports on it, and the Mini simply won't recognize it at startup. I tried the "C" "Option" and other key combinations, but the Mac continued to boot as normal, straight to my desktop. Interestingly enough, the Mac wouldn't recognize my startup keystrokes. I recently decided to try booting a Linux live CD on the Mac, so I inserted the disc, and restarted the machine. I have a Mac Mini 2006 model with SL installed on it, updated to the latest version.
