The Uni-ball Alpha Gel Switch Mechanical Pencil combines precision engineering with writing comfort. Its three-layer soft gel grip is made with QGEL, a silicone-based material that provides both cushioning and stability, reducing hand fatigue during long sessions.
This pencil features two writing modes for different needs. In "Kuru Toga Mode", the built-in engine rotates the lead as you write, keeping the tip sharp for clean, consistent lines; ideal for detailed notes. Switch to "Hold Mode" to suppress lead rotation for faster, continuous writing. A small window on the barrel shifts color as the mechanism turns, letting you track the rotation in action. Compact and versatile, it’s suited for studying, journaling, or everyday planning.
