Vision Pro accessories: Logitech Pen soon, Sony Sense controller separately
Two accessory providers will soon be able to deliver their products for Apple's headset. This will particularly please gaming fans.

Together with the new Vision Pro with M5 chip, Apple has also announced the availability of new third-party accessories. Both were already known but were either not yet available or only in a bundle with hardware that is unnecessary for owners of the headset.
Muse with Price
Thus, Logitech's input pen Muse, which was already introduced in the summer, now has an official availability date. The hardware can now be pre-ordered in the Apple Online Store; delivery will be on October 22nd, along with availability through Apple's retail stores. Apple describes the 140 Euro device as follows: “Logitech Muse is a spatial accessory designed to help you work, create, and collaborate better with Apple Vision Pro.”

In practice, this means that the pen should allow you to work in CAD programs, among other things. The creation of 3D models should be more precise and easier than with finger or hand tracking alone. The Muse offers six degrees of freedom, has integrated buttons and haptic feedback—and even a pressure-sensitive tip. It remains unclear which apps will be supported by the pen and whether they will need to be specially adapted. The Vision Pro is already widely used in the industrial sector due to its high image quality, even in passthrough mode.
Gaming with Sony
Furthermore, Apple announced that Sony will also soon sell its Sense series VR controllers for the Vision Pro. These are intended to enable finer control of VR games. The problem so far: Sony has only sold the left and right pair in a bundle with the headset—for almost 430 euros. In the future, the two controllers, along with the charging station, will also be distributed via the Apple (online) Store. So far, only a price for North America has been mentioned: 250 US dollars. They are expected to be available from November 11th, but it is still unclear when Europe will follow.
Apple had already announced a new headband for the Vision Pro 2 itself, which promises more wearing comfort. A competitor to the same from medical technology manufacturer ResMed is now also available again, but so far only through Apple's American retail stores.
