  # 2 (lol), but only if I can provide my own type of pencil. Runner up gg1k.

  Props for #2 being a #2, but of these I usually go for 6. My personal favorite though is Pentel twist erase.

  Though all the kuru toga enthusiasts here have convinced me to give them a try.

  3. it rotates the graphite as you write so your lines are always sharp. it’s an absolute game changer and now i can never go back to a standard mechanical pencil

  1st one, with either .2 or .3 lead. That also happens to be what I main for writing already.

  I’ve never touched a mechanical pencil that didn’t suck. 7 is awful, I don’t understand what people like about it. The only choice on this is 3.

    I could say precisely the same about standard pencils – you have to constantly be sharpening it if you want properly dense handwriting. Mechanical with .2 or .3 and you don’t even have to rotate it to get a sharp edge.

      But the graphite in mechanical pencils break so fucking easily. They were always a headache, and unless the technology has advanced significantly in the past 10-15 years, that’s my stance.

  7th one

  6 is where the fuck it’s at, shit looks comfy as fuck and I will fight everyone else here I don’t even care if you agree with me

  The fact that Rotring, Staedtler, and K&E mechanical pencils are missing is deeply troubling.

  I also have an emotional thing for the Pentel P200 series, and the Pentel Techniclick in black has been my absolute personal favourite for light-duty scribbling and note-taking since the 90s.

    #7 is perfect, the thick lead and the spring is great if you push down on the paper too hard for the other mechanical pencils.

  Dr. Grip. I love the “shake to advance” thing and the huge, squishy grip.

  #3 for writing.

  source
• redwattlebird@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Definitely 2. Sharpening is such a nice break from writing.

  6 every time.

  Also fuck 7, those butcher broke so easily.

  I had one similar to (not literally exactly) 6 back in high school, and some really dumb jock took it from me and I’ve wanted it back ever since.

  The Bic one is okay, but pushing directly on the eraser to push the lead out isn’t ideal. I always thought that was a design flaw. Having the button on the side of the pencil but away from the index finger is ideal honestly.

  And even though we’re not deciding based on lead size for this, I prefer the finer.5 to the more common .7.

  Plus the top has a pretty large eraser that you can twist to expose more, so it had a mechanical refillable eraser too, which was pretty cool.

  And I got mine in my favorite color, and that fucked just took it.

  I was a super sheltered kid, coming fresh off being completely homeschooled (except for a Christian kindergarten), and that year of school was my first social contact with other people outside grocery stores and church. So I didn’t do much about it, as I didn’t have a clue about how anything in real life worked. I wouldn’t figure a lot of it out for still another 16 years, but that’s a different story.

  Also at this point I haven’t actually written anything at all with a pencil, pen, or marker for… 15ish years now? Outside of signing my name anyway.

  Can I just use a pen?

  • turnip@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The pen is, mightier than the sword.

• airportline@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The Pentel Graphgear 1000 is great. I love how it retracts.

• Geodad@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I have 2 .3 mm Graph Gear pencils that I swear by.

  Why are we ignoring the diameter?

    The lead diameter.

      Ahh. Ok. I like fatty grips. So I was on a different wavelength.

• SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  6, cause it’s a gel pen. For a pencil, not really bothered by these options…probably 2.

  source

  • KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    6 is a mechanical pencil.

    source

    • SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Ideally one of these though.

      source
    • SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Oh. Looks like a gel pen I use.

      source
• vga@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I’m a pen/pencil freak who’s spent an amazing amount of money on them, and I’d choose 2.

  source
• Comtief@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Also, some of these options are not pencils. For a pen I’d go for 5/6.

  • KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    5 literally says pencil on it.

  If I’m only allowed one type of pencil it’s good old #2

• pineapplelover@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Staedtler 35-05B but I guess 4 looks closest so I’ll take that
