These are the essentials of computing, but they're also the most personal. You are going to be using your keyboard and mouse for thousands of hours, so even if you've got input devices with your Mac, take this chance to see what bargain alternatives there are.

Here are our picks for the best keyboards, mice, printers, webcams, and controllers.

Keyboards

There is nothing you will do more on a Mac than type, whether you're writing a novel or just holding down the shift key to constrain a line in Adobe Illustrator. The feel of the keyboard, the robustness of them, it's all crucial to not only how you use your Mac, but how much you like using it.

Logitech K400 Plus

The chances are that there is a keyboard that is ideal for you -- and right now is the time to look for them. Ranging from reassuringly quiet chiclet keys to satisfyingly loud mechanical ones, here is our pick of what's on sale for Black Friday.

  • Logitech G PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard was $129.99, now $79.93
  • Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, was $79.99, now $44.99
  • Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch was $27.99, now $18.99

    • Mice and trackpad

    Perhaps even more personal than a keyboard, a mouse -- or a trackpad -- can transform your use of your Mac. Whether you need a more ergonomic mouse or you just fancy a trackpad, these are the best ones to buy during Black Friday 2023.

    Apple Magic Trackpad

    Printers

    Some of the steepest discounts of them all for accessories are to be found in this selection of printers.

    HP LaserJet M110we

    Webcams

    MacBook Pro and MacBook Air come with webcams built in, and so does Apple's Studio Display. Yet their general-purpose and typically quite low resolution cameras are easily beaten by third-party webcams.

    Razer Kiyo Pro Streaming Webcam

    If you want clearer Zoom and Teams calls, get your Mac one of these webcams while they're on sale.

    Customizable stream & computer controllers

    Controllers give you physical buttons, dials and knobs for making things happen on your Mac. They are revolutionary, but they're also hard to imagine being useful -- until you've used one.

    Razer Stream Controller

    Take this chance to try out some of the best Mac controllers around, while they're at Black Friday discounted prices.
