Rumors of the Pixel Tablet Pen first surfaced late last year, when an accessory labeled “Pen for Pixel Tablet” appeared in certification listings. The device carried the model number GM0KF and featured a minimalist off-white and gray design with a physical button. It was expected to support the USI 2.0 standard, which the Pixel Tablet has offered from launch. Despite evidence of development, Google never released the stylus.
One of these listings was recently spotted and purchased for about $25, which is a competitive price for a USI 2.0 stylus — especially one seemingly built as a first-party Google accessory. Considering most official tablet pens from major brands cost significantly more, this pricing is notable.
In testing, the stylus reportedly performed as expected. It charges via USB-C, includes a status light, and works immediately with the Pixel Tablet once powered. Input was smooth and responsive, and the tablet’s software recognized hover actions without issue. The button, while functional in hardware, does not appear to trigger any commands, leaving it as more of a tactile feature than a useful control.
The presence of so many units raises questions. It’s not uncommon for unreleased Google products to leak in small quantities, but widespread availability through mainstream retailers is unusual.
While we may never know the full story of why the Pixel Tablet Pen was shelved, its sudden accessibility offers an affordable way for Pixel Tablet owners to add stylus support. Whether this is the result of surplus stock or an abandoned launch plan, it’s a curious footnote in Google’s hardware history — and one that might not last long given the limited supply.
