Logitech MX Ink is a tracked stylus for Meta Quest headsets.
MX Ink will help Quest 2 and Quest 3 and be the primary formally supported third-party tracked controller for an Oculus or Meta headset.
Logitech MX Ink is designed for each 2D drawing on a bodily floor through its pressure-sensitive tip and for 3D creativity through full 6DoF positional monitoring (through the headset cameras), a number of buttons, and a haptic suggestions actuator.

It pairs to the headset with no need to unpair Contact controllers, which Meta says represents the primary time Quest headsets can monitor three controllers directly. Meaning you may combine and match Contact controllers and MX Ink and change between them at any time “with out interruptions”.
When it is paired for the primary time, Meta says you will be taken by way of a customized tutorial constructed into the Quest system software program, and a brand new part of the headset settings will enable customizing stress curves for the nib and the first buttons, preliminary activation power, and double faucet timing.
MX Ink by itself prices through USB-C, and Logitech will promote a dock referred to as MX Inkwell for extra handy charging.
The corporate will even supply a mat with “clean texture that pairs nice with field nibs” for 2D creativity referred to as MX Mat.

MX Inkwell
MX Ink will probably be supported within the following Quest apps:
Moreover, MX Ink will probably be supported in Adobe Substance Modeler and Elucis by RealizeMedical, PC VR apps usable over Quest Hyperlink / Air Hyperlink.
Logitech will quickly make an SDK out there for different builders to combine it.
Logitech MX Ink is about to launch on the finish of September, priced at $130. Pricing for the MX Inkwell dock and MX Mat hasn’t but been revealed.
That is truly Logitech’s second XR stylus. Again in 2019 it launched VR Ink for PC VR, which required SteamVR Monitoring base stations and price $750.
Apple has reportedly examined Apple Pencil Professional help for Imaginative and prescient Professional, and if that occurs it could be the perfect accessory for the headset. However until that occurs earlier than late September, it appears to be like like Meta will get there first by way of this partnership with Logitech.
