Kokuyo FitCurve Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Blue Body

I've tried a number of different types and brands during my refresher class to study to take my PE Exam. For work, I spend a lot of time on the computer and not that much time typing. I wanted to try out a number of styles and types of pencils to see which was the most comfortable for long periods of equation solving. This pencil was by far my favorite. Unlike some of the nice metal mechanical pencils I bought, this one isn't too heavy. It's gel cushion is very comfortable. I love the ability to adjust the height and amount of the eraser. The eraser surface is large enough and of great quality to be effective at it's job. The lead at size 0.5 is perfect. I thought it might be too wide at first, but it rarely ever breaks on me and produces nice, smooth lines. I will be using it for a long time!Long story short, it's great for both short and long written projects alike and has a great eraser for correcting mistakes.

At first touch, the pencil has a rubber but hard grip. However, the design is amazing. A lot of weight is centered on the tip piece, which brings the center of gravity down. This makes my handwriting feel and look so much better, and as long as I don't squeeze the grip too hard I have no problems with writing long-term. In fact, writing with squishier grips over time is worse because you have to squeeze harder to control the pencil.The eraser is generous in size, and you can buy refills.I have no complaints. This rightfully compares with the Pentel P205 as well as the kuru togas in my opinion.

The grip, while not squishy, is still very comfortable for long writing sessions. As a student. The pencil has a nice weight near the tip and the design looks great. My only problem is that the eraser tends to smudge a bit but that could be solved by just using a different eraser. Overall, this is a fantastic pencil for not only students, but everyone.

I like the way the grip is comfortable and I sadly lost my other one I bought in 2020. This overall is nice and a bang for your buck because it lasts.

My favorite mechanical pencil. It has a good weight and the perfect width for gripping allowing for a comfortable writing even for long periods. It also writes smoothly.

This pencil has worked great ever since my mom bought it. The pencil tip is weighted so if you need to write for a long time it is not as hard on your hand. The eraser is great and buttery smooth, but you run out the Papermate clearpoint replacement erasers work just fine. The lead has only broken on me 2-3 times in the 9 or 10 weeks I've had it. Recently though, a small piece of led got stuck in next to the other piece of lead in the top. This rendered it useless, however I managed to fix it. Overall, I'd reccomend this pencil if you use pencil all the time.

This is a great pencil! I have wanted to replicate a mechanical pencil that I've had 40+ years, and this exceeds even my long-standing favorite. The weight is perfectly balanced, the tip retracts all the way in when not in use, the circumference of the barrel is the perfect size for my hand, the eraser is enormous, and refilling leads is as uncomplicated as it gets. The only thing: I prefer to put a little finger support against the eraser housing when erasing. I don't like the wobble, but the wobble doesn't affect erasing, and I don't erase all that much.

This mechanical pencil is sincerely a hidden gem. It isn't overly heavy, it isn't at all metal. I don't usually like ergo pens and pencils, as I find the grip too wide. Contrary, the grip of the fitcurve is perfect. The feed hasn't yet jammed. It doesn't suffer from frequent lead breakage. It is honestly probably my favorite mechanical pencil, even compared to some which are far more expensive. It may have to do with the conical tip? I've tried nailing it down, but this has been always in my pocket at work and a treasure. So much so that I ordered a spare, should anything happen to it.
