Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, but, the title should not say it's a pen.

I though you were complaining it was just an overpriced mechanical pencil. (It looks like a cool tech, but it's too expensive. I'll cry in a corner for a week if I lose one of them.)

Overpriced tech is something I love, not complain about lol! I've managed to not buy that $600 Casio calculator made with hand-worked lacquer mostly because it's sold out, not because I didn't want one.

Pen and pencil are made to be shared and lost. (Anyway, I have a strong opinion about ball pens. Cheap but not too cheap, they must flow nicely.) Calculators are for life. Good luck buying your calculator in the next batch.

Cool pencil mechanism, but you can get it in a plastic model for $7 https://www.unibrands.co/products/kuru-toga-mechanical-penci... I have this one and have been using it for years.

Not quite. The Kuru Toga mechanism that rotates the led every time you pick up the pencil is present on the cheaper models and is also present here. The big feature on this pencil is an adjustable automatic lead extrusion mechanism on top of the rotation mechanism.

OK I need to buy it now.
