Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, Aug. 27 (Xinhua)-- Twitter blogger Mishaal Rahman, who is focused on exploring new features of Android, has recently made a new discovery. In a long post on the X platform (Twitter), he said that the Pixel Tablet tablet has added support for USI 2.0, an open standard released by the Universal Stylus Alliance in March 2022. After connecting the stylus to the Pixel Tablet, the user can see two new options: the default note application, and writing in the text box.

Mishaal Rahman claimed that the screenshot in his article (below) came from an "informant" with a Pixel Tablet tablet and a USI 2.0 stylus, but the informant said that the stylus function of the Gboard input method was temporarily unavailable, which may have something to do with the imperfect device compatibility.

After clicking the screenshot provided by the ▲ "informant" and clicking "write in the text box", you can open the stylus settings of the Gboard input method, and the user can change the handwriting speed and stroke width. At the same time, users can click "try" to open the text box to display and experience the gestures of the stylus, including writing, deletion, selection, input, conjunctions and line breaks.

The ▲ picture shows the "write in text box" interface.

The ▲ picture shows the gesture operation interface after opening the "try". According to CTOnews.com, Mishaal Rahman found in June this year that the native Android 14 Beta 3 operating system is expected to add more features to the stylus.

In the screenshot released by @ MishaalRahman, the code mentions the stylus's "primary", "secondary", "third" and "tail" buttons, and the description of the "tail" button specifically emphasizes that "this button usually does not correspond to the function of an eraser." When he sends the "tail" key code of the stylus, Android 14 Beta 3 displays a toast message and prompts "set default notes in setting App'". MishaalRahman believes that this "tail" button may launch the default note-taking application.
