You Can Use These Bluetooth Accessories With Apple Vision Pro
While the Apple Vision Pro supports Bluetooth, Apple said today in a support document that there is no guarantee that third-party Bluetooth accessories and devices will be compatible. Apple did, however, provide information on what will work for sure.
AirPods/Beats
All current models of AirPods and Beats headphones are able to connect to the Vision Pro. Apple recommends the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C Charging Case for the best experience because it supports Lossless Audio and ultra-low latency, while older AirPods models do not.
Keyboards
Most Bluetooth keyboards made by Apple and other manufacturers will work with the Vision Pro. The Vision Pro is not compatible with older Apple keyboards that use removable batteries.
The Vision Pro has a virtual keyboard that can be used, but for anything beyond entering a password or typing a quick message, users will want a Bluetooth keyboard.
Mice and Trackpads
The Apple Vision Pro does not work with Bluetooth mice at all. It does work with the Apple Magic Trackpad, but older Trackpads with removable batteries are not compatible, nor are trackpads from other manufacturers.
Controllers
All Made for iPhone Bluetooth controllers can connect to the Vision Pro, including Xbox and PlayStation controllers. Apple says that any controller that works with iPadOS will work with Vision Pro.
Hearing Devices
Made for iPhone hearing devices are able to connect to the Vision Pro. Some models by Phonak, IQBud, and Poco are also compatible with the headset.

like many on this forum, I know lots of apple fans with lots and lots of apple devices from phones, to watches, to ipads, to macbooks and airpods and speakers.. None and I do mean none, have any desire to buy one of these..
I'm sure the apple stores will be packed with people who want to see this, touch it, take selfies, maybe even book an appointment for a demo, but what % of those will actually slide their card and actually walk out with one?
Apples main strategy is to hook them in the ecosystem while their young, and in most cases, the young can't afford this item..
I do hope they learn from its pros and cons and make one more cost friendly in a few years to make it more appealing..
For AR/VR market, gaming is extremely important which you can not ignore. Otherwise, Vision Pro will ends up as failure since almost all consumer AR/VR devices failed at the consumer market. That's why many of them changed its target from consumer to B2B such as MS Holo lens 2. Even Meta with 20 million sales was NOT successful.
