The M6 Mac mini Has Bluetooth 6 and Five USB-C Ports, So Bluetooth Accessories Are the Easiest Fit
Here is how an accessory connects to the M6 Mac mini:
- Bluetooth: the Apple N1 chip provides Bluetooth 6, and Bluetooth keyboards, mice and trackpads pair without any hardware
- USB-C: two front ports and three Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back handle charging cables and wired keyboards
- USB receivers: a dongle such as Logitech’s Logi Bolt needs a USB-A port, which means a hub or an adapter
Most of the wireless options below also charge over USB-C, so a single cable from the mini tops them up.
The Apple Magic Keyboard With Touch ID and Numeric Keypad Brings Touch ID to a Full-Size Layout
This extended Apple Magic Keyboard has Touch ID for logins and purchases, document navigation keys, full-size arrow keys and a numeric keypad for spreadsheets. It pairs automatically with a Mac that has Apple silicon and runs for about a month or more between charges. A woven USB-C cable in the box charges it from one of the mini’s ports. Pick it if you work in spreadsheets or want the full layout with Touch ID.
The Apple Magic Keyboard With Touch ID Is the Compact Option With the Same Fingerprint Sensor
The compact Apple Magic Keyboard has the same Touch ID sensor without a numeric keypad. It pairs automatically with Apple silicon Macs, runs for about a month between charges and includes a woven USB-C cable. Touch ID is a feature the mini cannot offer on its own. Pick it if you want fingerprint login and a narrower keyboard that leaves more room for the mouse.
The Logitech MX Keys S for Mac Pairs With Three Devices and Lights Up as Your Hands Approach
The Logitech MX Keys S for Mac has a Mac key layout, spherically dished keys, backlighting that adjusts to the room and Smart Actions shortcuts in the Logi Options+ app. It pairs with up to three Apple devices over Bluetooth Low Energy and charges over USB-C, with up to 10 days on a charge with the backlight on. Pick it if you use a Mac mini alongside an iPad or a MacBook.
The Logitech MX Mechanical Mini for Mac Uses Tactile Quiet Switches in a Compact Body
This low-profile mechanical keyboard uses Tactile Quiet switches with a bump you can feel and barely hear. It has smart backlighting, pairs with up to three Macs or iPads over Bluetooth Low Energy and charges over USB-C. Logitech rates it for up to 15 days with the backlight on and up to 10 months with it off. Pick it if you want mechanical feel without the noise.
The Keychron K3 Version 2 Is a 75% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard With QMK Remapping
The Keychron K3 Version 2 is an ultra-slim 75% keyboard with a reinforced aluminum body and Brown switches. It connects to three devices over Bluetooth 5.1 or to one by USB-C cable, and the Keychron Launcher web app remaps any key through QMK firmware. It has a Mac layout, and extra keycaps for both Windows and Mac are included. Pick it if you want a compact mechanical board you can remap.
The Apple Magic Mouse Pairs Automatically and Charges Over USB-C
The Apple Magic Mouse has a Multi-Touch surface for swiping between web pages and scrolling documents, and a rechargeable battery that lasts about a month or more. It pairs automatically with a Mac and includes a woven USB-C cable. Pick it if you want the mouse that matches the mini and relies on gestures.
The Apple Magic Trackpad Adds Force Touch and Multi-Touch Gestures to the M6 Mac mini
The Apple Magic Trackpad has an edge-to-edge glass surface with pressure sensors for Force Touch and the full set of Multi-Touch gestures. It is wireless, rechargeable over USB-C and lasts about a month or more between charges. It works with Mac, iPad and Apple Vision Pro. Pick it if you want laptop-style gestures at a desktop.
The Logitech MX Master 4 for Mac Adds Haptic Feedback and an Actions Ring
The Logitech MX Master 4 for Mac has a Haptic Sense Panel that gives customizable feedback on actions, an Actions Ring overlay that places shortcuts at the cursor and a MagSpeed wheel that scrolls 1,000 lines per second. Logitech says its Quiet Clicks make 90% less noise. It charges over USB-C while you work and has a thumb wheel and an ergonomic tilt. Pick it if you want a full-size mouse for long work sessions.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S for Mac Is a Compact Bluetooth Mouse That Tracks on Glass
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S for Mac has an 8K DPI sensor that tracks on any surface, including glass, a MagSpeed scroll wheel and Quiet Clicks. It pairs with up to three Apple devices over Bluetooth Low Energy and charges over USB-C. Pick it if you move between the mini and a laptop and want one small mouse for both.
The Logitech MX Ergo S Is a 20 Degree Tilted Trackball With Bluetooth and a USB Receiver
The Logitech MX Ergo S is a thumb-controlled trackball with a 20 degree tilt, six programmable buttons and a precision mode button. It connects over Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt USB receiver, so the Bluetooth route avoids the mini’s missing USB-A port. Logitech rates it for up to 120 days on a full charge and sizes it for medium to large hands. Pick it if you want less wrist and forearm movement.
My Pick Is the Apple Magic Keyboard With Touch ID and the Logitech MX Master 4 for Mac
For a keyboard, I would buy the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, because the mini has no fingerprint login of its own. The Logitech MX Keys S for Mac is the one I would choose for a desk shared with an iPad or a MacBook. For a pointer, the Logitech MX Master 4 for Mac is the one I would use all day. I would take the Apple Magic Trackpad instead if I missed laptop gestures.
