Framework has a new accessory for its ultra-compact Laptop 12: a color-matched USI 2.0 stylus designed to feel as thoughtful and modular as the laptop itself. Built for precision and longevity, it supports 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt input for shading and angle control, and two programmable side buttons for quick tools or shortcuts. The pen uses a replaceable 80 mAh rechargeable battery, charges over USB-C, and even lets you swap the tip when it wears down—small details that make a big difference for creators, note-takers, and students.

Style matters too. The Framework Laptop 12 Stylus comes in the same five shades as the laptop—Black, Lavender, Bubblegum, Sage, and Gray—so you can match your setup. It’s priced at $59. While there are more affordable USI 2.0 options like the Metapen USI 2.0 Stylus Pen G1 at around $29.99, Framework’s pen stands out with its replaceable battery design, a rarity in this category.

– Sold on its own and as an add-on for Laptop 12 pre-orders

Framework is also expanding its desktop ecosystem with accessories aimed at builders and tinkerers. The DeskPi RackMate 10-inch 2U Mini-ITX Shelf is a $35 metal tray that neatly holds the Framework Desktop’s mainboard and power supply, perfect for rack or shelf setups. For easier transport and handling, the new Framework Desktop Handle adds a convenient grip to the case for $19. Both are available through the company’s marketplace.
If you’ve been waiting for a first-party pen to complete the Laptop 12 experience—or you value repairable, long-lasting tools—the Framework Laptop 12 Stylus is a smart match for a modular workflow.
