I'm sure the stylus would have been nice to use with the Pixel Tablet 2, but it's not happening anymore! Get over it!
I understand rehashing the past to look for clues, but what is the point if it will remind you of what you don’t have? We know we’rethat the first-generation received after its messy launch in 2023. So it seems cruel to repetitively beat on a dead horse over something that will never be resurrected, at least not anytime soon.
Why are we talking about the Pixel Tablet stylus that never was and, reportedly, never will be? It’s a torturous moot point.posted what it says is a rendering of what was going to be the magic wand to unlock all of the Pixel Tablet 2’s potential. The “Pen for Google Pixel Tablet” had the code name “bushukan,” which shares an alias with the citrus fruit known as Buddha’s hand. The pen model was/is referred to as model “GM0KF.
The stylus would have supposedly existed in two colors, white and gray, probably to match the colorways of the Pixel Tablet 2. The pen had a button on the top that you could press to launch a note-taking app. I took a screenshot of Android Authority’s embedded video and pasted it below. The diagram shows us it’s pretty standard stylus behavior. The pen would have magnetically docked onto an official keyboard accessory that will no longer see the light of day.
It’s not likely we’ll see this stylus crop up separately from a tablet device. This is a shame because the last time Google did something with a stylus, it showed promise. Remember the? I still have one right here, physically near me, for whenever I feel like taking out its flippable clamshell design to remember what could have been. I still have the stylus that went with the Chromebook. It had a button where your thumb resides so you could easily tap it for additional functionality.
