Is the HP Rechargeable USI stylus compatible with Pixel Tablet? I keep seeing conflicting reports.

@drc55,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

An excellent question.

 

The HP Rechargeable USI Stylus should technically work with the Google Pixel Tablet since both support the Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) standard. However, like you, I am also seeing mixed user reports about compatibility.

 

The HP Rechargeable USI Pen is designed to work with devices supporting the USI (Universal Stylus Initiative) standard.

 

However, compatibility can vary based on the specific USI version supported by both the stylus and the device.

The Google Pixel Tablet supports USI 2.0 styluses. While USI aims for universal compatibility, some users have reported mixed experiences when using USI 1.0 pens with USI 2.0 devices. For instance, certain USI 1.0 pens may not function optimally or at all with the Pixel Tablet due to differences in firmware or hardware specifications.

 

Given these potential discrepancies, it's advisable to use a stylus that explicitly supports USI 2.0 to ensure full compatibility and access to all features. Styluses like the Penoval USI 2.0 have been reported by users to work seamlessly with the Pixel Tablet, offering functionalities such as pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition. See: https://www.seriousinsights.net/penoval-usi2-0-stylus-review/?utm_source=chatgpt.com.

 

In summary, while the HP Rechargeable USI Pen may work with the Pixel Tablet, for the best experience and full feature support, opting for a stylus specifically designed for USI 2.0 is recommended.

 

Suggestion: If possible, test the HP USI stylus in-store on a Pixel Tablet before buying.
