Logitech has introduced a new digital stylus designed specifically for the Apple Vision Pro, offering users a more intuitive way to interact with mixed reality applications. The Logitech Muse functions as a pen-shaped controller, allowing individuals to write, sketch, and manipulate 3D designs with greater precision. This tool enhances creative workflows by simulating the feel of a traditional paintbrush or pencil, making tasks like app navigation, annotation, and digital art creation feel more natural than relying solely on hand gestures.
Available for preorder at $129.95, the Muse begins shipping on October 22nd. It incorporates several advanced features, including real-time haptic feedback and a pressure-sensitive tip that responds to surface contact. A force-sensing button also enables artists to adjust line thickness dynamically while drawing in mid-air, adding versatility to the creative process.
Priced identically to Logitech’s earlier MX Ink stylus for Meta Quest devices, the Muse shares a similar appearance but differs in key areas. While the MX Ink supports both USB-C charging and an included Inkwell Charging Dock, the Muse relies exclusively on USB-C and does not come with a dock. This design choice may raise concerns about misplacing the accessory, a familiar issue for those who have used Apple’s own Pencil. Despite this, the Muse aims to deliver a seamless, tactile experience tailored for Vision Pro users seeking enhanced control in virtual environments.
