Your Favorite Click Mechanism Ballpoint?

[Beginnersmind0]

Wanting to have something really nice to write with that is quick draw. Something one handed. What is your favorite push button (or cap activated) ballpoint or rollerball pen?

Hands down, the Parker Jotter. I use the gel insert.

[FOUR X FOUR]

This is probably my only ballpoint.

Is that Lamy the wooden one?

[Beginnersmind0]

Cant beat the jotter for tough reliability! Just wish it were more exciting to look at. Wider would be nice too. Thanks for sharing!

The Rotring Tikky. It takes the Parker (G2) refills, is thicker than the jotter and is not too light nor too light.

[Beginnersmind0]

Ooh! The Tiki comes in so many colors!

Hands down, the Parker Jotter. I use the gel insert.

 

A brushed metal Parker Frontier, or a Parker 51 ballpoint, which was really a cap-activated Jotter.

Retro 51 Hex-O-Matic with a Schmidt easyFlow 9000 refill. For shirt & tie/meeting days, I'll switch to a stainless Parker Jotter with a Schmidt refill.

Caran D'Ache 849 for me. Some people dislike the spongy action, but I like how smooth, soft and quiet it is.

 

I do like the Parker clicky mechanisms too, but I'd go with the 45 over the Jotter, mostly for sentimental reasons.

I recently got the new Parker Jotter XL BP pen. It is just a bit longer and a bit girthier than the normal Parker Jotter BPs I have. In the 2 weeks I have had it, it is growing on me, and I am getting to really love the Jotter XL BP pen.

The Ballograf Epoca. They're comfortable to hold, durable, and the refills write well and last for ages. They're not as smooth as gel pens, but I'm annoyed at just how quickly gel pens run out.

Ooooh, I love them. The colours, the style. Too bad that the refills are not so easily available, but is still my second favourite after the rotring tikky.

[milkb0at]

So what's the mechanism like on the Ballograf? I've never tried one. Is it more like the Jotter or more like the Caran d'Ache?

[Beginnersmind0]

So...any push button pens out there made of marbled resin?

Pelikan k200 comes to mind...

In this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ynN_7W8ezU you can hear what the click is like.

Purepens in Wales sell some of the ballpoint models, but unfortunately not the matching pencils. The Swedish retailer penstore.com have more of their pens and pencils but of course shipping would cost you more.

1. Parker 45 Flighter

2. Other Flighter style Parkers. (Jotter, Insignia, Classic etc)

Parker Jotter with Pierre Cardin Gel Refill (great color and super smooth). I wish it had a better grip, though. It's thin and rather slippery, but writes so well.

I am using a Cross Tech3 multipen, which has a MP refill (0.5mm) and two BP refills (D1) This is partly a turn-action to choose the pen colour or MP, partly push, to advance the lead. Turn-action can be done one handed.

 

I changed the Cross refills for 2 Monteverde BlueBlack Gel refills.

 

The pencil is my most used feature on this pen.
