Google’s cancelled Pixel Tablet Pen mysteriously appears on Amazon

Google never officially announced the Pixel Tablet Pen, but several reliable rumors back in 2023 pointed to its existence. However, it never received an official release and was reportedly canceled by the tech giant.

Fast-forward a few years, and out of nowhere, you can now buy the Pixel Tablet Pen on Amazon (via 9to5Google). The pen features a low-key off-white design with gray accents, alongside a physical button, a USB-C charging port, and the model number “GM0KF.”

While it’s still unclear, it looks like the unreleased accessory hit some level of official production, though its odd Google allowed the stylus to get in the hands of third-party sellers given its very clear branding on the pen.

As far as styluses go, the Pixel Tablet Pen is supposed to be pretty good

It’s definitely a Google Product if its branding is any indication

Along with Amazon (where the pen is currently listed as unavailable), 9to5Google says the Pixel Pen has also appeared on China-based platform “Goofish” and a few other online marketplaces for roughly $25. The Pixel Pen rarely has its official name attached to it, and instead, features a listing that describes it as a generic USI 2.0 stylus. That said, listing pictures show a “Designed for Google” logo on the pen and its packaging (for a closer look at the Pixel Pen, check out 9to5Google’s story).

The publication says the Pixel Pen it purchased is responsive, fluid, and functions just as you would expect a stylus to. It also responds to inputs when you hover over on-screen buttons. Unfortunately, the button on the side of the Pixel Tablet Pen doesn’t seem to do anything.

Google’s Pixel Tablet released back in 2023 for $400 for the 128GB version. Rumors point to the Pixel Tablet 2 being cancelled by Google, with hints that a third-generation version might still arrive in 2027. It’s unclear why the Pixel Tablet Pen never saw the light of day, but it could be due to the tablet reportedly not selling well.
