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

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.

very nice pencil, the grip is super soft which is nice and it is plastic, make it ligh. The nib is little wobble in the rotate mode. I heard the new version (metal)solve it but it is way more expensive. You can switch it to normal mode and it won't wobble anymore. I think this is the only karutoga that can switch between rotate mode and normal mode

Really like the alpha gel grips, very comfortable for writing. Quality and durability is really really good, watch out for the metal tip though it is really sharp and gotten stabbed couple of times. The eraser runs out really quick and ones it’s gone you can’t refill from the back. Other than those inconveniences really good product

Love it feels smooth ♥️

Has a great gel grip makes writing for long periods of time feel like nothing. 8/10 That in combination with Kuru Togas lead rotation tech, this is a great purchase and something that is also really cool. Is that you have the ability to halt the rotation mechanism if you want a classic writing experience

the pencil is extremely comfortable to write with

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 .
