Link: Logitech's New MX Ink Is Like a 3D Apple Pencil for Meta Quest Artists - CNET

The MX Ink looks like a chunky black pen, but with buttons on the sides and a replaceable nib. The wireless stylus is fully spatially trackable, allowing for complete full-motion 6DoF (degrees of freedom) work like Meta's Quest controllers. The stylus also has its own haptics, and a pressure-sensitive tip for work on 2D surfaces. According to Logitech, the haptics also simulate the feel of drawing on different types of surface materials. An included "inkwell" base stores the stylus when not in use. #
