Rotring Rapid Pro Retractable Ballpoint Pen for Technical Drawing

Larry: I have always had a problem holding a pen writing so it doesn't slip out of my fingers. This allows me to write with ease and I don't need to worry about loosing my grip. I wish it came with black ink but blue is okay.

Brads07: I have purhased this pen a number of time because I keep losing them. I like the feel and weight of this pen. I think it is well constructed and a good value for the money.

Victor: Has a nice weight and balance, which makes this metal pen feel premium and sturdy. The included ink refill is nice as well. I prefer using this over the Parker Jotter for my Parker style refills, as it's larger with a decent (if not a bit TOO textured) grip. I wish it was a bit easier to slide the pen into a pocket or bag slot though - the clip is just too tight without much curvature leading underneath the clip.

SachaSacha: Je suis fan des produits rotring, celui-ci est beau et a une bonne prise en main.
La teinte noire est très différente de la teinte grise beaucoup plus métallique.

Drew S.: I was fortunate enough to have acquired one of these pens prior to buying this one and instantly loved that one enough to buy another. They have a comfortable weight and mimic the feel of a pencil with a textured grip. They are refillable and if you have an ink preference, I am sure you can easily find an ink that will suit your needs. They are all metal and as such have an unmatched durability and unlike bulkier pens they are comfortable to use and won’t cause fatigue. Overall they are a well-balanced pen that should last you for a very long time. Some may read this and say “a pen is a pen” and I can understand that but if you are an artist or writer I feel like you will be satisfied with this purchase.

Rincewind: I wanted to like this pen very much. I have used Zebra F301's for a long time...lightweight but durable metal, wrote forever, smooth nib...but Zebra recently changed the refills and now they're crap. I purchased this pen, hoping it was a good as it sounds. It looks nice but the retractor mechanism is very cheap nylon and initially, would not work. It's action is very soft and I don't think it will last long. I also don't want to have to send a pen back to Germany just to replace a crappy part. I wrote Rotring to see if I could buy a few replacement mechanisms and never got a reply. All in all, disappointing experience and I would not purchase again. Only stupid people take a world-renowned product and ruin it on purpose. Instead, purchase a Retro 51 Hex--o-matic, very similar design, much higher build quality and cheaper price (my favorite pen).

Edit : well, it turns out I have been using this pen daily for the last 4-5 months. Seems to be working fine. I don't baby the pen and the finish is wearing off. But it works well and the Schmidt refills write forever. So...not too bad. Probably should get the silver one if you are going to get one.
