Logitech Launches Keys-To-Go 2 Keyboard Accessory
On June 19, Logitech announced the Keys-To-Go 2 tablet portable keyboard accessory.

The layout offers two layouts, one generic and one dedicated to Apple devices, and the top row of keys has shortcuts for adjusting volume, media playback, and screen brightness levels, as well as locking the iPad display. Keys-To-Go 2 is powered by a coin cell battery that lasts up to three years and is priced at $79.99.
Logitech Launches MX Ink Stylus for Meta Quest
Logitech recently partnered with Meta to launch the MX Ink stylus, which supports Quest 2 and Quest 3 for both 2D drawing and 3D creation scenarios, with a pressure-sensitive nib for drawing on a 2D surface, and an inward-outward tracking system on the Quest headset for 6DoF-positioned 3D design and creation. MX Ink can be charged via USB Type-C on the end of the pen, with charging contacts near the tip, and a charging dock available for purchase for faster charging. According to Meta, the MX Ink does not need to be untethered from an existing Touch controller to work, and users will be guided through a specific tutorial within the system when first using it, as well as an additional option within the headset’s settings for adjusting the stylus’s functions. The stylus currently supports Gravity Sketch, PaintingVR, Arkio, Engage, OpenBrush, Gesture VR, ShapesXR and other apps, and with streaming capabilities such as Quest Link/Air Link, it also supports Adobe Substance Modeler on PCs. Logitech says the stylus will be available in late September for $130.
