To connect a Wacom Intuos4 Wireless PTK-540WL to a Mac mini with USB-C ports, you need a USB-C to USB-A adapter. The tablet charges and connects using a USB cable, which requires a standard powered USB-A port. Since the Mac mini only has USB-C ports, an adapter that converts USB-C to USB-A will allow you to connect the tablet properly.
