Best Accessories for the New M6 MacBook Pro: Keyboards, Mice, Hubs and More
Accessory picks for Apple's new M6 MacBook Pro with the PROLED XDR touch display cover keyboards, a Logitech mouse, USB-C hubs, laptop stands and Thunderbolt 5 storage. Apple's 2026 Polishing Cloth is back in stock at $9.
Apple's new M6 MacBook Pro with the touch-enabled PROLED XDR display has started arriving, and a fresh round of accessory picks is out. Our favorite gear elevate a docked desk setup with keyboards, mice, hubs, stands and fast external storage.
Apple's own peripherals
One reviewer docks the laptop at a desk and treats an external keyboard and trackpad as must-haves. He has used Apple's Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad for years. His reasoning: Apple's own peripherals give a consistent experience whether the MacBook Pro is docked or on the go.
The pick is the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad. Apple's new charging gear is also live from $19, including the World Travel Kit and the AC Connector 2 Power Adapter Extension Cable at $19.
A mouse for power users
Ben recommends the Logitech MX Master 4 wireless mouse. He calls himself a trackpad person, but says power users who prefer a mouse agree on this one.
The mouse pairs a gesture pad and side scroll wheel, which emulate a trackpad, with the ergonomics and programmable controls of a mouse. Compared with the MX Master 3 and 3S, the Master 4 adds a better feel, haptic feedback and a third mappable button.
Hubs, stands and storage
Karthik picks Anker's Nano 10-in-1 Smart Display USB-C hub. It adds ports for accessories and external displays, and a built-in screen shows transfer speeds and charging status. He says its compact size suits a touchscreen MacBook Pro desk setup.
A height-adjustable stand, such as one from Native Union, rounds out a setup with an external keyboard and mouse. Another writer names Twelve South's Curve and Curve Flex stands. He also lists HumanCentric's Vertical stand and Nulaxy's full aluminum stand, which he says has held up for years.
For storage, one writer chose the OWC Express 1M2 80G external SSD. It uses Thunderbolt 5, and OWC advertises speeds above 6,000MB/s. He recommends it for large video projects, offloading photo libraries and backups that would otherwise fill the Mac's internal drive.
Other accessories on the list are the HyperDrive Next Thunderbolt 5 Dock with SSD Enclosure and the Satechi Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock with a built-in NVMe SSD enclosure.
One small item may sell out. Apple's 2026 Polishing Cloth is back in stock at $9, and the roundup calls it the only proper way to clean a MacBook display.
