Hi. I have a mac mini, so I will set the record straight. Not having a mouse does not cause problems, although the mac will not allow you to turn off blue tooth. If you need to use a mouse for something, any usb mouse will work fine. What can make a difference is whether a monitor is connected. Some programs will become very slow without something connected to the monitor port, and the dvd player won't work at all. If connecting a monitor is not practical, or you want to take your mini places where a monitor isn't available, you can purchase the adapter from apple that will allow the mini to connect to a TV, connecting this will make the mac think it's connected to a monitor.
