WOw... good thing I stumbled on this thread.. I write daily for my work and I only write with a mech pencil....
Can anyone clue me in on where I can get some rOtring pencils in KL/Klang Valley?
What's your favorite mechanical pencil?

I kinda wanna have a feel first before dropping RM200+You can always buy online, but I guess you wanna look and feel it first-hand before buying. It's very interesting in design.  |

Ok.. had the Rotring 600 (0.5) for abotu a week now...
1. I like the weight, nice balance as well 2. I LOVE the texture, the roughish matt finishing is just a marvel to hold and twirl 3. The grip is nicely done, none of those rubber nonsense that turn yucky after awhile 4. I dont like the pencil being so slim, the diameter is just too small for my hands, its like working with a kid's pencil.. Overall I'm happy with it, its relegated to my PC table pencil where I use it once awhile, it would be for my regular pencils as the thickness (or lack of) wont be comfortable to write much on... too much effort to grip it |

I thought you would have learn from the iphone6 bend gate never to put anything in your pants pocket...Should i buy another mechanical pencil, buy the replacement tip or just leave it as it is? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
