Uni Alpha-Gel Switch Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Black Body (M51009GG1P.24)

Over the past few weeks I've bought many pencils and pens, but this one was my favorite. The gel makes the pen so easy to handle and its the softest gel I've ever felt on a pencil before.

I love this mechanical pencil. It has a really nice and comfortable grip. It's definitely better than the cheap mechanical pencils you'd normally find and has a really nice eraser with a cover as well. This has been one of my longest lasting pencils too so it for sure has great durability. I love sketching with it.

This the most comfortable pencil I have used yet. I have been searching for a “perfect” .05 pencil. I have used them for years. This fits the bill. The rotating lead is a game changer, perfect point every time. I also bought one for my 3rd grader, almost instantly perfected her writing, she has to not press hard and take her time. The lead is super smooth. All in all job well done!

I’m not sure if I’d use this as my daily driver but it is a pretty nice pencil, and I like the soft grip for when I’m stressed. Generally nice to fidget with. The biggest problem is the eraser that keeps falling off. Also, I write in cursive, so this is probably not the product for me but I can say that I have dropped it plenty of times and didn’t have much issues.

Absolutely love this pencil. I was looking for a nice pencil at a price I could afford and I'm so happy with it. The design is beautiful, the lead has not broken on me once, and even for someone with small hands it's comfortable to hold. Would recommend. I prefer to use an actual eraser, but the eraser is easy to use too.

It's absolutely amazing. Firstly.. I much prefer the gel grip to other pencils. Uni is seriously onto something here. The rotating lead creates such neat looking notes. I've never seen or experienced anything like this. This technology is seriously awesome. You never have to re-adjust. Also.. writing feels differently with it. It doesn't feel like your dragging graphite across a page anymore. It glides. And all of your lines look crisp and clean.The weakness of this pencil is it's ability to break lead. That's really not so much the pencil's fault but if it was upgraded with a sliding sleeve.. that would be cool. Honestly, I cycle between this pencil, the uni alpha gel original, and a pentel orenz nero. The alpha original has a wonderful slim grip. This is a bit on the hefty side with the turning engine. The orenz never - ever - breaks lead. That's because it has a sliding sleeve. It also auto-advances which is awesome.I really enjoy all 3 of them. When I pick up this pencil though, I feel like I'm returning home. The sensation of writing is unparalleled.

Love this pencil!! I love stationary and have lots of different pens and pencils. This one is the one I now grab over the others. The grip is very comfy and I can write longer. Only complaint is the eraser. It's too small and doesn't come with replacements. I do have a regular eraser on the side so it's not too bad. Will probably buy 2 more to have.

The Uni Alpha-Gel Switch Mechanical Pencil is a great pencil for writing and drawing! The large body makes it good for those with larger hands, and the rubber grip acts as a cushion for your hand. It is a great pencil for long hours of writing. I would strongly recommend this pencil for anyone!
