Now you can purchase the Logitech MX Ink-TRACKED Stylus specifically designed for Quest headsets.
MX Ink is the premier third-party, formally supported tracked controller for Oculus or Meta headsets, compatible with Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest 2.
Logitech MX Ink is engineered for both 2D drawing on a physical surface using its pressure-sensitive tip and 3D creativity through full six-degree-of-freedom positional tracking via headset cameras, along with multiple buttons and a haptic feedback actuator.
The Quest headsets seamlessly pair with the headset, eliminating the need to unpair contact controllers; according to Meta, this marks the first time Quest headsets can directly monitor three controllers simultaneously. You’ll be able to seamlessly switch between your Contact and MX controllers without any disruptions or interruptions.
Upon initial pairing, you’ll embark on a personalized tutorial seamlessly integrated within the Quest system’s software framework, accompanied by an innovative settings module that enables customization of pressure curves for both the nib and primary buttons, alongside preliminary activation power and double-tap timing adjustments.
The Logitech MX Ink mouse is priced separately through a USB-C connection, and to enhance user convenience, the company also offers an accompanying dock called the MX Inkwell for convenient charging purposes.
The corporate also offers an MX Mat, featuring an “easy-to-use textured surface that harmonizes perfectly with field nib pens,” ideal for 2D artistic expression.
MX Ink technology is seamlessly integrated with the following Quest-branded applications:
- Arkio
- Interact
- Figmin XR
- Gesture VR
- Gravity Sketch
- HoloLight
- Immersed
- Open Brush
- Osso VR
- Portray VR

MX Ink may also be compatible with Adobe Substance Modeler and Elucis by Realize Medical, allowing for seamless use of these PC-based VR applications on Oculus Quest via Hyperlink or Air Link.
Logitech offers a Software Development Kit (SDK) available for various developers to integrate with.
The Logitech MX Ink is priced at $130; the bundle including the MX Inkwell dock costs $170. The MX Mat is available separately for $50.
That’s actually Logitech’s second XR stylus. In 2019, the company relaunched VR Ink for PC VR, a feature that necessitated the use of SteamVR Base Stations and carried a hefty price tag of $750 for customers.
If reports are accurate, Apple is evaluating an upgraded Apple Pencil Pro companion for its Vision Pro headset, potentially creating a seamless accessory experience. Meta is actually getting a head start on this front through its collaboration with Logitech.
