Logitech MX Ink is a tracked stylus for Meta Quest headsets.
MX Ink will assist Quest 2 and Quest 3 and be the primary formally supported tracked accent for an Oculus or Meta headset.
The information, initially set to be introduced tomorrow, was unintentionally shared earlier as we speak by VentureBeat in an article that was shared broadly on social media (together with screenshots) and has now been taken down.
Logitech MX Ink is designed for each 2D drawing on a bodily floor by way of its pressure-sensitive tip and for 3D creativity by way of full 6DoF positional monitoring, a number of buttons, and a haptic suggestions actuator.
It pairs to the headset without having to unpair Contact controllers, which Meta says represents the primary time Quest headsets can observe three controllers without delay. Meaning you’ll be able to 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 via 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 pressure, and double faucet timing.
MX Ink by itself fees by way of USB-C, and Logitech will promote a dock referred to as MX Inkwell for extra handy charging.
The corporate can even provide a mat with “clean texture that pairs nice with field nibs” for 2D creativity referred to as MX Mat.
MX Ink will likely be supported within the following Quest apps:
Moreover, it is going to be supported in Adobe Substance Modeler, a PC VR app usable over Quest Hyperlink / Air Hyperlink.

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.
Apple has reportedly examined Apple Pencil Professional assist for Imaginative and prescient Professional, and if this occurs it could possibly be the right accent for the headset. However except that occurs earlier than late September, it seems like Meta is getting there first via this partnership with Logitech.
