Can Left or right handed mode be set within App?

Hello... Our application will be built for both left and right handed users. Is there a way to set the mode for which hand the player wants to use within the app using unity or an API?

Currently we need to go to the Quest 3's home interface and go to the device menu, select the MX ink stylus, and then scroll down the options to select which hand to use. But we'd like to be able to control this directly within the app if there's a way to do this. Would appreciate any advice from the Logitech team. Thanks.

    The short answer: There is no way for a developer to change this setting via an API, it is a system level setting only. Longer answer: If you are only using the stylus in your app (and no controller), then it does not really matter which hand the stylus is held in, you'll still get the inputs.

    Thanks for the reply back. We were hoping that there may be some way to control this within unity. In our use case, a person does use the stylus and one of the controllers at the same time. The stylus is held typically in the left hand and used to scan the patient while the right hand holds the controller and presses buttons on the ultrasound machine.

    Likewise if they wish to use the stylus in their right hand, then they would control the machine with the controller in their left hand.

    If there is no solution, then the user must exit the app and go to the quest device settings and manually tick the appropriate hand setting. We were hoping to avoid this since it breaks immersion and creates additional steps for the user. I appreciate you getting back in any case. If you have any other ideas we can look into, we'd be happy to hear them.

    Thanks for those additional details, I understand what you are looking for. However, there is no way to make that change at an app level.
