Is this for small devices only, or can it be used to open larger devices like a mac mini?

This is a must have tool. I used to open glass of Ipad2 and Ipad mini after melting the glue with heat. As it is very thin and flexible you can insert it between the glass and the case of Ipad to open. Also don't melt with heat. The plastic type melt during the heat and are useless. With a heater and iSesame you are able to open Ipad glass.

I tried using this tool to open a Mac mini (late 2006) "core duo" model, and it wasn't strong enough, although iSesamo is the tool recommended by iFixIt. The lady in the iFixIt video made it look so easy: She just slid this tool into the Mac mini and pried it open; hers popped open in a snap. When I tried it, the iSesamo just just bent over and was useless.

Daniel, I don't see why you couldn't us this. I've never tried but the concept is the same. I would advice you to go to youtube and watch --isesamo review-- and see the device opening the kindle to see how easily it works... Be careful if you chose to use this handy little tool, because you are opening plastic with a piece of metal. Could Scratch.

I use it on all the apple devices or anything else that need a glued in component removed.

I don't have specific experience with the Mini, but most CD slots are a consistent size. I would expect it to work if your slot is in a normal horizontal orientation.

Hi. This is a USB device. Search in Google to see if there is any software that runs on MAC. This specific unit came with a software for Windows/PC version.ThanksJanio

The small ones work on all MacBooks. They are all I use anymore. Not as fast but for travel, much better.

I think your question is a bit too techy for me! We purchased this unit to accommodate both pc's and MacBooks. Works great for any device we have.

Hello. I used it with a Mac Book Pro. If the mac Mini has the same OS system than the Mac Book Pro it should work.

Possibly, but I would not buy it for that purpose. It's really reliable for smaller items.

Also, to answer the first part of your question, I think it is only for apple computers.

This is meant only for Macbooks that come without HDMI cables. You insert the small end into the mini display port and the other end into the HDMI cable.

It needs to be a fairly thin device. I don't think it was designed for much more than a MacBook.

It should not have any problems with those devices. One reason I got this switch is its ability to work with a Mac (I have a mini also). There has been no problems since I got it.

I use it for a thumb drive. I guess you can use it on anything that doesn't need power from it.

I use it with my Mac Mini and it works great. I have not had any bad things to report from this HD.

Yes, and this is precisely why I have a KVM switch--to go between my PC and Mac mini. (Disclaimer: I have not tried this product, but am considering it as I'm considering upgrading my mini to one that uses HDMI for video instead of another type of jack.)

I have used it on a Desktop and Laptop PC, Mac Pro and Mac mini 2012 with no problems whatsoever!

What firewire port do you have on your Mac Mini? If it is the new format then yes, if not then no.
