What is Logitech’s MX Ink Stylus?
Logitech MX Ink Stylus is a stylus that can work with Meta Quest headsets and allow you to draw in 3D canvas that can help you visualize your imagination and aid your artwork.
This can be a game changer for 3D artists who make game maps, not only can you visualize better but it also saves time on testing and reviewing since it shows you what your end product will be as you draw (may be limited to the viewport and things like that but still worth it).

MR stylus for Meta Quest
MX Ink stylus intuitively pairs with the Meta Quest headset through the Meta Quest app. This will be the first time that you will be allowed to pair more than two controllers at once.
After pairing for the first time you won’t have to be worried about pairing every time, you can easily switch between this stylus and Meta Quest’s controllers without interrupting your workflow. This device is designed so that you are fast to ideas and make the most of your time on the actual design.
A unique feature is the addition of actionable shortcuts. Designed for easy access, these buttons allow for quick operations such as changing tools or removing strokes. Additionally, the stylus supports magnetic attachment, making it easy to attach it to similar devices such as tablets or some computers.
The potential for creativity is not limited to one field though. You can never underestimate humans who know who will come up with something that you and I haven’t considered that can be done with technology like this.
How does Logitech’s MX Ink Stylus work?
The potential for creativity is maximized with Mixed Reality (MR) which allows you to take advantage of both worlds. Button feel, pressure sensitivity, low latency on par with Meta Quest controllers, and 6DoF performance are engineered for maximum immersion and tactility with haptic feedback.
It has 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and other features that usually come with a normal stylus so won’t have any complaints if you want to use it in the traditional way.
It promises a long-lasting battery that can allow you to work for 7 hours nonstop with typical workflow after that you have to recharge it and whether it’s a feature or a drawback depends on you. You can recharge it using the USB-C port it has or simple dock to charging port and it will connect through pogo pins.
My thoughts on Logitech’s MX Ink Stylus
The Logitech MX Ink Stylus is a device that serves a wide range of users, from professionals to students. It is a strong contender in the stylus market. However, its price tag and app-specific integration may not allow many users to make the final decision but it is a department that can be improved with time.
If you prioritize build quality, device simplicity, and ease of use, the MX Ink Stylus is a worthy investment. But if you’re looking for a dedicated stylus for an ecosystem or app, you might want to look elsewhere.
The Logitech MX Ink Stylus promises to increase productivity, and for the most part, it succeeds. Whether you’re a professional artist or a professional who takes notes during meetings, the stylus adapts to your needs with ease.
If you can justify the price tag, it’s a tool that will definitely improve your computer experience.
