NeoPencilカラーニブセット

We have a technical drawer in the house and we know he will love this as he already like writing and drawing utensils of all kinds. It's got a nice metal heft, but not too heavy and it is carefully boxed the protect the 2 replaceable nibs that come with the pencil. I'm glad it also erases normally.

I think this pencil is quite good. I like the shape and weight of it, plus the flat sides help it to stay in place and help with holding. Replacement nibs are out there, either from HOZO or other brands that may offer the color/darkness you prefer.
The way the pencil tip works is cool, though I dropped my pencil right after first writing a little bit with it and broke the nib. It was a bit difficult to extract the threaded part with nothing to grip. I would say that’s the only thing I dislike, because it’s not unreasonable to expect the pencil to fall eventually. An easy way to pull out the core of the nib after the top breaks off would be useful.

this is a weighty "inkless pencil" (what pencil has ink, btw?), and feels comfortable in the hand. the nib is nice for basic sketching and writing, though you'll need to really press to get darker lines. the marks are erasable, which is nice. while this won't replace any existing pen/pencil in my case, this is a nice way to quickly jot/sketch

If using this "pencil," stick to drafting, art and sketching. It's really not meant to be an everyday writing utensil (at least not yet).

Now the main problem I have is that the nib, despite putting lots of pressure on the pencil, writes very lightly and it is hard to read.

I admire the elegant design of the pencil, as well as the weight/feel it has to it. But if it cannot serve its main purpose, which is to write, then I'll be unlikely to use this pencil very often.

Just my 2 cents.

The HOZO NeoRulerGO Classic Metal Inkless Pencil is a fascinating and elegantly designed writing tool.
On the plus side, it is weighty, and feels substantial in hand, which I personally love. The weight allows me to control my writing better, especially since I tend to press hard when I write. It erases cleanly and doesn’t smudge as much as a regular pencil, which is a significant advantage. I also appreciate the angular design, which makes the pencil easy to grip

However, I have mixed feelings about the writing output. While the pencil erases well and smudges far less than a regular pencil, the marks it leaves are quite light. I compared it to a BiC 0.7 #2 pencil, and the difference is noticeable. I wanted so much to love this, but it just doesn't show up boldly enough for my liking.

Pros:
* Heavy, well-balanced feel for better control
* Smudges less than traditional pencils
* Erases cleanly
* Attractive, angular design for easy gripping
* Reusable and environmentally friendly
*
Cons:
* Writing output is too light for drawing or detailed note-taking
* Lacks the boldness of traditional pencils

Overall, the HOZO NeoRulerGO is an attractively designed pencil that offers a unique and enjoyable writing experience, particularly for those who appreciate a heavier tool. However, if you need bold, dark lines, this might not be the best choice. It’s more suited for light sketching or as an elegant accessory on your desk.

Noe, in fairness, it doesn't write on everything. Cardboard and glossy tagboard, barely makes a mark, but writing paper? It's like a classic lead pencil. I like the heavy feel of the aluminum (at least I assume it is aluminum). I'll have a lot of fun with this. Let's hope I don't lose it!

I had very high hopes for this pencil, but after I started to use it, I noticed that it's very light in color compared to my other mechanical pencils. So light that it's not really usable to me.

The shape is comfortable. I wish the length was a little less which would balance the weight a little more. At the end of the day it's about the line which in this case is sub-par in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this pencil.

This is such a unique product. I know they’ve been around a while but I’ve never used one. It writes just like a pencil, and it erases very easily as well. It came with two tips, which is nice.

I found it showed up better on white paper versus my lined notebook paper. I had to write a little harder for it to show up. I’m not accustomed to using pencils, so it could just be me.

Ok, to be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect. The ad said “inkless pencil” soooo here I am!
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back!!! I now wish I had bought the kit with the stand and the colored tips! It’s supposed to double as an eraser!! This elegantly simple implement is my new favorite pencil!!! It has a nice weight to it. There is just the least little bit of texture so that it doesn’t feel super slippery. It is easy to change the tips, though I won’t have to for awhile!

**Update, It does NOT like to be dropped. I had it tucked into my messy bun, the way I do with a lot of pens & pencils. When it fell out, the writing tip sheared on even with the edge of the pencil shaft. I was able to take a safety pin and carve a groove in the "lead" and then use a tiny screwdriver to back it out! It wasn't difficult at all.

I received the product that is just the pencil with the 2 nibs. The box it comes in was a simple cardboard box with a dividing insert. For a $20 pencil, I would have thought it was worth maybe a little plastic tray that presents it nicely when you unpackage it for the first time.
The nibs were in a separate poly bag, which i could see was smudging the inside of the bag. I screwed the nib onto the pencil and it also smudged on my fingers. When writing words, it didn't smudge, and if it did it was very minimal. Which is a good thing for people who are left handed. However, when I did some scribbling to mimic shading, it did smudge (see picture for my smudging tests lol) on the paper and my finger.
I'm a heavy handed writer. 0.5 mechanical pencil lead fears me. I prefer to use 0.7 lead because of it's boldness and because it stands up better to my writing. The NeoPencil boldness is lacking. If you see my uploaded photo, its lighter than 0.5 lead. I do appreciate that no matter how heavy handed I am, I won't break the nib, but i really wished they offered nibs that wrote bolder. Even if it meant more smudging, I'd purchase the nib in a heartbeat. I'm considering getting the colored nibs set, but a bit hesitant that the colors won't be saturated enough. I could see the NeoPencil working well for artists doing sketches, but not so much for someone like me. I will continue to have it on standby for marking little things, but don't see myself relying on it for everything.

Great design! The NeoPencil feels really comfortable to hold, and after using it for a while, I can honestly say it works perfectly. Very happy with it!

Can't wait to use it.

Absolutely awesome pencil replacement for framing got about a week on it now.

Still possible to write darker with more force.

get two: one monochrome and one rainbow

Excellent quality

The design is strong. Great quality. Comfort and size. Little heavy. But writes smooth. The

a lovely pencil. it requires a bit of pressure to write darker lines. the nib does not need sharpening; it will chip if dropped from a considerable height on to a stone floor. it is easy enough to scribble until the wear is even on the nib. it is nicely weighted. there are cheaper versions available from amazon, but they do not have the same superior quality that this pencil has.

Great gift for my grandson

Smooth writing and feels good writing. Comes with spare writing tip, only issue is it writes a bit light for an HB writing instrument.
