Hi, couldn't find this info on the apple store sight. I'm buying a mac mini for my in-laws, and the mini only has 2 usb sockets. They'll need at least 3 (keyboard, mouse and printer, plus possibly a mic later).

The old adb keyboards had a socket in the end for you to daisy chain the mouse onto, I wondered if the new apple usb keyboards did the same sort of thing.

Thanks,

Justin.

For a mouse, keyboard, printer and an iMic, USB 1.1 will be more than sufficient in terms of bandwidth (and you've still got the one unused 2.0 port on the back of the machine itself).
