If you're looking to pair a stylus (like the Logitech MX Ink) with your Meta headset, follow this step-by-step guide. Important: Pairing is currently only supported when the headset is in Individual Mode. Devices in Meta's Shared Mode do not expose the necessary pairing interface.
Pairing Instructions
Enroll the Device in Individual Mode
Before anything else, make sure your device is enrolled into Individual Mode in ManageXR. Stylus pairing is not possible in Shared Mode. To ensure your device is enrolled in Individual Mode, set your Default Enrollment Configuration to use Individual Mode.
💡 Why this matters: Meta restricts access to certain in-headset settings in Shared Mode, including stylus pairing.
Pair the Stylus in-Headset
Once the device is in Individual Mode:
🥽 On the headset:Put on the headset.
Open the Settings menu.
Navigate to Devices → Stylus.
Scroll to the bottom of the Stylus Settings page.
Click Pair Stylus.
✍️ On the Stylus (MX Ink):
Press and hold both the META and REAR buttons for 4 seconds.
The stylus will enter pairing mode.
Once paired, you will see a tracked model of the stylus on the screen.
For reference, check Logitech’s official pairing guide:

✅ You can now use the FRONT and REAR buttons to interact with the Meta Quest interface.
(Optional) Switch to Shared Mode
If you're using Shared Mode in your deployment, you can now switch to the device to a ManageXR Configuration that uses a restricted kiosk experience (Custom Home, Kiosk App, Kiosk Video). The stylus will remain paired to the device after you switch to Shared Mode.
