Hey there, drewthescot!

Apple has always expected you to bring your own keyboard, monitor and mouse to the Mac mini. Yet, today there are issues to consider before you even start narrowing down your choice from the many.

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you are having an issue using your wireless keyboard after logging in. It says it is connected, but nothing will key.
I suggest trying the steps in this support article: If your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad isn‘t working as expected, specifically:

Your keyboard has one or more keys that don't respond

Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then select Language & Region.
Click the Keyboard Preferences button.
Click on the Input Sources tab.
Make sure that the keyboard language that you use is listed on the left side. If it's not, click and choose from the languages that appear.
Select the checkbox next to Show Input menu in menu bar.
Click on the Keyboard tab, then select the checkbox next to Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar.
Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar. The Keyboard Viewer showing the keyboard layout appears on your display.
Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and see if the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that key is functioning correctly.

If you enable the Mouse Keys feature, many keys might not respond as you expect. Here's how to turn off Mouse Keys:

In OS X 10.8 or later, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click on Accessibility, then choose Mouse & Trackpad from the list on the left side. Then deselect the Enable Mouse Keys checkbox.
In OS X 10.7.5 or earlier, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click on Universal Access, then select the Mouse & Trackpad tab. Then select the Off button next to Mouse Keys.

If issues with keys persist, try starting up your Mac in single-user mode to see whether a software issue is causing the problem.
