Anybody know of any keyboards that I can use on my Mac Mini that are not from Apple? The Apple keyboards are too expensive. Thanks.
 
Any USB keyboard will work, but I don't think any of the volume or brightness buttons will (it might depend on the keyboard).
 
There are some decent 3rd party keyboards that are made for OS X, and they will have most of the hardware control keys (brightness, volume, etc). Google it, and I'm sure you'll see some good stuff.

Personally, I just found the old Apple keyboard to be better overall. It's simple, clean looking, and was only $30 (USB/old design). If you can find one of the old ones (shouldn't be too hard if you check local electronic retailers who are clearing out old stock), that might be worth it.
