Tl; DR
- An unprecedented pixel tablet pen has surfaced and its tail button can be configured to launch the default Android notes application in a floating bubble.
- Operating the button requires twinning the stylus via Bluetooth, then activating a specific development option and defining a default note application.
- The pen currently does not work with Google Keep, and despite the appearance of the accessory, there are still no official news on a pixel tablet successor.
When Google published the Pixel tablet in 2023, the evidence suggested that the company had stylus and keyboard accessories in progress, but none of the products have ever been on the market. Last week, however, the unprecedented stylus of the tablet – the much -named Pixel tablet stylus – mysteriously appeared on several online retailers. One of our readers got their hands on the device and confirmed that it worked with the integrated Android integrated notes function.

The unprecedented pixel tablet pen has this tail button, but According to the first reportsIt doesn’t work out of the box. It turns out that the stylus must first be associated with the Pixel tablet via Bluetooth for the button to work. To couple the stylus, you need to press and keep the button until the pen begins to pulse. Then open the Bluetooth settings and search for the Pixel tablet pen in the list of devices available to couple.
After cutting, you must then activate two parameters:
- First of all, switch the “Force activate the role of notes“Option in Settings> System> Development options. Restart your device after that.
- Then select one “Default notes application” below Settings> Applications> Default applications. Google Keep is not supported, so you will have to use an application as Open note Or Note.
Once it is done, the tail button on the Pixel Tablet tablet will actually work as expected. You should see one “Tail button Press“Option in the Bluetooth device details page for the Pixel tablet pen as well as other options such as” write in text fields “,” Ignore all the stylus button pressures “and” Authorize the applications to display the pointer during the plating plan. “”
Here is a video sent by the Charlie Callow player with the tail button functionality. As you can see, when it presses the button, it launches its default notes application (open note) in a floating bubble.
