Uni Alpha-Gel Switch Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Black Body (M51009GG1P.24)

THIS IS MY THIRD TIME BUYING IT NOW AND IT'S WONDERFUL. I LOCE HOW THE LEAD ROTATES AND IT'S REALLY COMFY TO HOLD. WICH THE HAD A 0.7 VERSION THOUGH, CAUSE ALL MY OLD LEAD ARE USELESS.

It's absolutely amazing. Firstly.. I much prefer the gel grip to other pencils. Uni is seriously onto something here. The rotating lead creates such neat looking notes. I've never seen or experienced anything like this. This technology is seriously awesome. You never have to re-adjust. Also.. writing feels differently with it. It doesn't feel like your dragging graphite across a page anymore. It glides. And all of your lines look crisp and clean. The weakness of this pencil is it's ability to break lead. That's really not so much the pencil's fault but if it was upgraded with a sliding sleeve.. that would be cool. Honestly, I cycle between this pencil, the uni alpha gel original, and a pentel orenz nero. The alpha original has a wonderful slim grip. This is a bit on the hefty side with the turning engine. The orenz never - ever - breaks lead. That's because it has a sliding sleeve. It also auto-advances which is awesome. I really enjoy all 3 of them. When I pick up this pencil though, I feel like I'm returning home. The sensation of writing is unparalleled.

Really comfortable to hold for either math or writing. I would purchase and recommend this pen. It will feel like quality when your holding it.

The gel material used for the grip part of the pencil is incredibly soft and elastic, making it comfortable to hold and preventing my fingers from getting tired during long writing or drawing sessions. The ability to switch between "Kurutoga mode" and "Hold mode" is also a fantastic feature. I found that the "Kurutoga mode" was perfect for when I wanted to write or draw with a certain finesse and density, while the "Hold mode" was ideal for when I wanted to write for longer periods of time with a more stable writing feeling. The pencil writes smoothly and the lead does not break easily, which is always a plus in my book. Overall, I highly recommend the Uni New "Alpha-Gel Switch" Mechanical Pencil to anyone looking for a high-quality writing or drawing tool that is both comfortable to use and versatile in its functionality.

the pencil is extremely comfortable to write with

Very comfortable, but it could write smoother. Mechanism needs to be upgraded. I still use the pencil everyday and love it, but I find the Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade smoother and just a hair less comfortable. All in all still an amazing pencil!

Love it feels smooth ♥️

This the most comfortable pencil I have used yet. I have been searching for a “perfect” .05 pencil. I have used them for years. This fits the bill. The rotating lead is a game changer, perfect point every time. I also bought one for my 3rd grader, almost instantly perfected her writing, she has to not press hard and take her time. The lead is super smooth. All in all job well done!

Amazing pencil! The grip so comfortable and conforms to your hand. The led system's auto rotate is perfect and you don't have to worry about running out of led as it automatically brings the right amount of led you need.

Hayatımda kullandığım en rahat ve keyifli kalemlerden birisi oldu.

Unlike other uni kuru toga series (uni kuru toga, uni kuru toga advance, uni kuru toga advanced upgrade, etc), this one has a COMFY grip, the others just give you a piece of plastic or metal with some holes for 'slip resistance' and yes, the rotating mech for others help write but if the mechanical pencil ain't even comfy enough to write with for too long, then I ain't buying it. This one, however, uses a standard uni kuru toga mechanism but has a double-layered gel and a rotation lock. Another good thing was that the back would not easily fall off like the other ones. also tip, if you are buying uni-ball's mechanical pencils, try getting a Japanese refill from Daiso or smth, its a lot cheaper than buying online and it is doesn't shed the refill piece. if you don't want to buy this one, try getting like an uni kuru toga advance (normal) because it has a 2x faster rotation which is perfect or get the normal toga if you are going for budget.

Comfortable grip .. and superb quality

..Bonne prise en main grâce au support gel du porte mine .
