This could be because of many years of using fountain pens (which do not need a lot of pressure) and a relatively infrequent use of ballpoint pens (which need much more pressure). Each time you put the lead to the page you end up using a different lead surface (pointy, flat, wide, thin) depending on how you hold the pencil. The standard Kuru Toga is ideal for writing complex characters with many strokes because of its higher stroke count per rotation. RR4U: I can get the engine to work if I press harder, so the Kuru Toga engine itself is working in my pencil. It’s certainly great that they made this happen, but even they I admire the thoughts that went into it I am slightly disappointed with the reality – but it’s nevertheless a nice mechanical pencil, even more so if it works for you.I don’t use a pencil much, but I think it’s a great thing as when I was a student I had to rotate my pencil as usually. Change the angle (18 degrees) once you put the pen down (the refill contacts the paper), so that the refill wears evenly, so that each stroke can present the same thickness of font. Ich habe gerade den Kuru Toga auf einem Formular mit Durchschlagpapier probiert (die neuere Art, nicht Kohlepapier). The Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencil by Uni keeps the lead in your pencil sharp and maintains a consistent lead point through the pencil's gradual rotating mechanism. The idea, as with other sliding sleeve pencils, is that you can just keep writing without having to advance the lead – because the sleeve that protects the lead is sliding back further and further as you use the lead up …until you have used up the several millimetres of lead that where originally protected by the sleeve.

Combining comfort and versatility, the Alpha Gel Switch keeps the cushy grip of the Alpha Gel pencil and boasts two writing modes. It might be blocked by dirt, but the pencil was straight out of a sealed package and I cannot see any dirt.

The good thing about this is that I do not carry pencils in my pocket, so no need to worry about the sleeve causing any damage or discomfort.However, I have a feeling that I tend to push down fairly hard since I know when using a wood cased pencil and the KUM long-point sharpener that, depending on the pencil used, I can end up breaking the tip of the pencil fairly regularly. Because lead grade and writing pressure can affect how quickly the lead wears down, this pencil allows you to adjust the amount of lead extended using the dial near the pencil’s tip. Its double speed core toggling, anti-break mechanism, and reliable rotating core mechanism make it the ultimate companion for those seeking a faster, smoother, and more durable writing experience. Holes in the grip section add a little texture for a better grip, but also give you a slight peek at the mechanism inside.
