Logitech launches MX Ink, a stylus that works for the Meta Quest mixed reality headset.
The mixed reality (MR) landscape is redefining how we interact in the digital world, requiring familiar, intuitive and precise tools to unleash creativity and drive productivity. That’s why the companies are introducing the first MR stylus for Meta Quest.
MX Ink enables users to engage in high-fidelity creativity and exercise precise control, allowing them to create, annotate and navigate MR environments.
“For more than four decades, Logitech has led the way with software-enabled hardware solutions designed to
give people the freedom and precise control they need to express themselves, connecting them with
digital world,” said Vadim Kogan, head of AR/VR at Logitech, in a statement. “The new Logitech MX Ink is a stylus that seamlessly transitions from 2D to 3D spaces, offering the familiarity of a 2D stylus with the tracking accuracy Meta Quest users have come to expect from MR. Working with Meta has been amazing and their MR expertise combined with our user experience and comfort knowledge is helping us bridge the gap between traditional tools and the immersive digital world.”

MX Ink will mark the first time the Meta Quest headset supports more than two paired controllers at once.
Once paired, you can easily switch between using Meta Quest and MX Ink controllers without interrupting your workflow.
The stylus connects via the Meta Quest app and is compatible with Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 2.
“MX Ink offers a first-of-its-kind input device for the Meta Quest ecosystem,” Furhan Zafar, vice president of product operations and accessory support at Meta, said in a statement. “We believe Meta customers will benefit from having such an additional tool that will be supported by many applications and users.”
MX Ink’s familiar pen feel makes it easy to use in key creation and collaboration applications. Like
real pen or pencil, the pressure-sensitive tip works on a variety of physical surfaces, so you can write and
sketch more naturally in apps like Painting VR, Engage XR, OpenBrush and Arkio without
a line or detail is missing.
Users of 3D sketching, design and modeling software, including Gravity Sketch and Adobe Substance 3D Modeler, can apply different levels of pressure to control line and stroke weight for more expressive and detailed interactions. In ShapesXR, MX Ink offers a powerful and intuitive set of tools for easy 3D creation. MX Ink also brings critical precision to surgery planning using Elucis from Realize Medical.
For smoother writing and drawing, MX Ink can be paired with MX Mat, a frictionless writing and drawing environment. In addition, the MX Ink comes with the MX Ink Well, a charging base inspired by pen stands, ensuring that the stylus is always ready for use. MX Ink is currently supported by Gravity
Sketch, ShapesXR, Engage XR, Adobe Substance 3D Modeler, Arkio, Realize Medical, Painting VR,
and OpenBrush.
MX Ink, MX Ink + MX Inkwell Combo and MX Mat will be available later this year through www.logitech.com, www.meta.com and Amazon. For developers interested in integrating MX Ink with
their applications, visit www.logitech.com/mx-ink to apply for a developer kit.
