If you use the action of the D&D haste spell to take the Use an Object action, that object can’t be a magic item, since Use an Object works only with nonmagical items, as clarified in the DMG.
Does haste let you cast a spell?
No, you can’t cast a spell with your extra action from haste. Despite including an attack as part of the cantrip, all cantrips use the Cast a Spell action, like any other spell. Haste’s options are limited as you indicated, and Cast a Spell is not among the available options.
Can I cast a second spell with haste?
While the magic user types can’t cast a 2nd spell during their turn unless it is a cantrip bonus action. But haste gives the user an extra attack action.
Does using a magic item use an action?
So as it stands, using a magic item doesn’t use the use object action. This means thief rogue can’t use them as a bonus action.
Do magic items need components?
No they do not require components at all including somatic or verbal for that matter. So casting an Arcane Lock from a Staff of the Magi doesn’t require the 25g worth of gold dust nor would the Staff of the Woodlands require it for Awaken.

Do you have to take action to use magic item?
In most cases, using an item requires a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Activating a magic item is a standard action unless the item description indicates otherwise.
What is the purpose of a magic spell?
A magic spell is a set of words and actions intended to influence physical, emotional, or spiritual aspects of the real world. Magic spells, in one form or another, are an important part of many cultures.
Do you have to have a magic item to be a spellcaster?
If the prerequisite is to be a spellcaster, a creature qualifies if it can cast at least one spell using its traits or features, not using a magic item or the like. Without becoming attuned to an item that requires attunement, a creature gains only its nonmagical benefits, unless its description states otherwise.
What are the different types of magic items?
A potion is an elixir concocted with a spell-like effect that affects only the drinker. A ring is a circular metal band worn on the finger (no more than two rings per wearer) that has a spell-like power (often a constant effect that affects the wearer). A rod is a scepter-like item with a special power unlike that of any known spell.
