How to use other input methods to control Apple Vision Pro — keyboards, trackpads, pointers, and more

Apple Vision Pro.

Apple ambitiously shipped Apple Vision Pro without controllers, confident that the headset's eye and hand tracking were sufficient for full-time control of the device. While eye and hand tracking are both quite good after a successful calibration, they might not be the perfect option for everyone. That's why there are a handful of other input methods available to Vision Pro users.

The most mainstream option is trackpad and keyboard support, although it is a bit limited. Apple Vision Pro supports all Bluetooth keyboards, but only the Magic Trackpad is supported as a pointing device. For people who might not be able to use their eyes and hands to control Vision Pro, there are alternatives in the Accessibility menu, such as Pointer Control, sound actions, and dwell control. This guide will help you learn the input methods available on Vision Pro and pick the one that's right for you.
