The spec sheet for the Pixel Tablet indicates that it is compatible with USI 2.0 stylus pens, similar to various Chromebooks and some Android tablets, including the Amazon Fire Max 11. While users can purchase any USI 2.0 stylus, Google had plans to launch its own stylus along with a keyboard accessory for the tablet, but those plans fell through.
Development of the Stylus
It seems the stylus was in development and was likely meant to debut with the now-cancelled Pixel Tablet 2. Recent information about the stylus has emerged, but its future is uncertain as Google appears to have stepped back from the tablet market once again.
Details on the Stylus
According to a report from Android Authority, the stylus is officially named the Pen for Google Pixel Tablet, codenamed bushukan or B80, with the model number GMOKF. It would come in two colors: white and gray, which align with the Pixel Tablet's Porcelain and Hazel hues, and it would feature replaceable tips.
The leaked information shows that the stylus includes a button at the top that opens a note-taking app when pressed. Additionally, it supports handwriting-to-text conversion, enabling users to write in text boxes with the stylus and have their handwriting turned into text.
Storage and Features
When not in use, owners can keep the Pen for Google Pixel Tablet in the keyboard accessory that is being developed, resembling the storage method of the Microsoft Surface Slim Pen and Surface Pro Keyboard. Reports also suggest that the stylus will feature Find My Device support, allowing users to locate it if it goes missing.
With the cancellation of the Pixel Tablet 2, it seems unlikely that the Pen for Google Pixel Tablet will ever be released. However, if Google continues with its Pixel Laptop plans, it would be advantageous to include stylus input support, ensuring the stylus remains relevant.
