The Mac mini has two USB-C ports and three Thunderbolt/USB-C ports.

Your USB-A devices can be connected to the mini with a hub that connects to the mini with a USB-C cable and has USB-A ports on it, or you can use USB-A to USB-C adapters or cables with your individual USB devices.



Search Amazon or google for "USB-A to USB-C adapter", and also look for "USB-C hub or dock".

If you decide to go the way of a hub, look for one that is powered by an ac power adapter. These can provide plenty of juice for any USB device that might require it.
