Pencil and Paper is only not the first choice for lecture annotations in a script; but as soon as you start solving problems or designing algorithms, the technically infinite "screen size" of paper is of higher advantage (you can still look at the previous page and get the result).

But i got a 60yo kaweco 475 that felt expensive right of the bat. i used to beat up the hero but the kaweco i respected from start.

His hand writing is amazing, but it looks like he's mixed his writing with lettering. Lettering something you'll likely learn in your CAD/Drafting class. Random tangent: Something I will recommend since you're just starting out (if it's in your budget) is electronic note taking, which he briefly messaged in the video. I've been using electronic notes since 2019 and haven't looked back. When I was in college I even did my homework on my tablet then printed it off on engineering paper (a few classes required HW be done on the paper). - used OneNote in college since the school I went to had it integrated into everything, but now I just use Samsung notes (it works with tablet, phone, and desktop).

This must be some sort of engineering rabbithole lol. I got a Rotring 600 as a gift to myself when I got into engineering. I was scared of dropping it and bending the nib so I got an 800 the following year. I actually liked using pens more for exams and solving math problems so I ended up getting a Rotring 800 ballpoint too. When I experimented with high quality refills, I went further down the rabbit hole and got into fountain pens and I have been using a LAMY 2000 since. I also have an iPad for doing homework assignments and sometimes taking lecture notes. Something about using pen and paper feels better for studying though.

I’m crazy about protecting my Rotring 600-I have a pencil tip cover on when it’s in my pencil case. I already bent one after dropping, so this was my “fix” and it has worked out well so far. I didn’t know the 800 had the retractable tip. My dad has an old Rotring with the retractable tip, and I just thought it was a feature that was discontinued to save money. I actually bought several Rotring 600s when I was a design student as I needed different hardness and lead thickness, so it was more affordable than buying 2-3 Rotring 800s. I also eventually switched to an iPad for lecture notes and homework when I switched to engineering. It was an inferior writing experience, but you can’t beat cloud syncing with apps like OneNote. Currently, I’m using a Supernote e-ink tablet for general note taking. It’s an excellent device for those looking for a device purely for taking notes or drawing.

Hi there! The Ohto MS01, my favorite pencil of all time, has a "retractable fixed tip." It seems impossible, but here's how it works: The tip is fixed, but the gently knurled grip around it can be twisted to cover the entire tip during transport, protecting it. This doesn't compromise the solid feel while writing when the tip is fully exposed. The MS01 is also one of the best-engineered pencils ever made because it allows you to adjust the amount of lead that's deployed per click, which is amazing :DDD

I love what Rotring puts out. I've been a steady user of their Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil and Rotring 800 pen, though I do use a kuru toga now and then that I keep in my folio. I think my only issue I have with Rotring is with how some of their stuff is weighted. Some of them are heavier towards the top, which when paired with the metal textured grip, can be a bit tiring to hold on to for long sessions of use.

The Rotring 600 was my tool of choice as well during my mechanical engineering undergraduate. Towards the end, I tried some other drafting pencils like the GG1000, G1000, and Smash, but nothing quite beats the Rotring in terms of solidity and precision. I have continued to use it in the couple years since then. It’s like an old friend to me. Thanks for the great content!

Over the past few semesters of my engineering degree I have also switched from writing exclusively on paper with my Pentel Sharp (0.7mm) and Pentel GraphGear 500 (0.5mm) to a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. The thing that really helped me take advantage of the digital note taking was switching from the included S Pen to the Staedtler Noris Jumbo. While it lacks the button of the S Pen, it feels much nicer in the hand and has a functional eraser on the opposite hand. It also comes a Classic version which is not as large, but as I have a thumb ligament injury, I find the oversized dimensions of the Jumbo to be more practical for myself. If you are looking to enhance the way you take digital written notes, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Loved my 0.3mm Rotring 600 for detailed engineering and calculus homework. I wish I had gotten my Pentel Orenz Nero 0.2mm sooner in school, it is my new favorite due to the finer line it creates. Has a unique retractible tip design that is better than any other I've tried, which prevents lead breakage and maintains the same precision of a rigid tip.

I've had the 800 for 6-7 years. I had 2 600s before that and both didn't last more than a month, as I could never bend them back straight and would consistently drop my pens every couple of weeks. Imo the retractable tip adds so much depth to the mechanical pen experience while increasing the longevity by a significant margin, especially if you're as clumsy as me lol.

I have a 600 ballpoint and pencil that I kept in my exam pencil case, however, I have now put them aside for my bundle of Kurutoga pencils. I am such a huge fan of the kurutoga engine, and would love one in a robust body. I am yet to damage any after many years, but the kurutogas certainly don’t feel as premium. My 600s will stay in my pen cup, though, more as a reminder than a writing utensil I use regularly.

A year into Engineering College I got an iPad pro 2018, and I used it religiously with my metal kuru toga for any physical writing needs. I write really small, so the rotating tip of the kuru toga was a god send for not having to constantly rotate my pencil while writing to keep the tip sharp.

TThis pencil is based off of the original Koh-I-Noor pencil. The Koh-I-Noor was the same except for a plastic body. If you dropped it, the tip would bend and eventually the body would crack where the threads ended. Rotring bought them and simplified the mechanism and introduced more plastic parts other than making the body brass. Rotring also has an 800 model where the entire tip retracts with a twist of the top (where the lead hardness indicator is), but this results in more play in the tip than I like. I recently bough a Rotring Rapid Pro lead holder and it’s very nice. I also got a 2mm Rotring silver lead holder as well and it is also very nice. Overall they’re good products, but I lament the simplification and addition of more plastic parts to the mechanism that Rotring has made through the years.

I used the Rotring Tikky 0.5 mechanical pencil throughout most of my schooling. It's much cheaper than the ones mentioned in the video and is entirely plastic, except for the tip, which is made of brass that's either galvanized or chrome-plated. Personally, I prefer holding plastic over metal. The plastic section where you grip the pencil is covered with rubber, but this rubber doesn’t fully cover the body-there are gaps through which the plastic shows. After some time, the rubber would start to peel off, leaving only the plastic with those raised parts, which could be a bit uncomfortable to hold. Another sign of wear was the chrome layer on the tip starting to fade, likely because my hands sweat quite a bit, and I tend to hold my fingers close to the tip for better control. I know that pencils are usually held a bit higher, but that's how I learned. The third issue is the one you also mentioned in your video: the tip can easily bend if the pencil is dropped. Other than that, the pencil was generally very reliable.

Really liked your video, always appreciate people so passionate about over-engineered pencils I wanted a 600 but due to the price I couldn't risk damaging the tip so just bought an 800 (way too expensive though) and I really don't feel the wobble but I understand if others are not confortable. Recently I lent the 800 (I know, terrible decision but I did not think about it too much at the moment), and the person retracted the tip after using it and I don't even know how dropped it suddenly. I was so grateful the tip was retracted and that I had bought the 800. (First and last time lending an expensive writing tool).

Also, it has a fairly comfortable grip and nice writing characteristics. I've broken only one because I was fidgeting with it a lot in my younger days (it's still usable). Other than that it's my go-to pencil after experimenting with many other pencils.

I personally have actually moved away from thin lead mechanical pencils in day to day use. Mostly for the reasons of forming a conical point in regular use and the fragility of the shaft at the tip. I wound up switching to lead holders (chuck pencils) since you have a lot more variety in lead hardness, and point. Personally I’ve found of all the available options, only the Koh-i-Noor & the Mitsubishi-Uni(ball) were correctly weighted and balanced in the hand. Much more durable mechanism and less prone to failure and jamming than the thin lead tech pencils. But you waste lead when it drops on the tip. While the lead pointer wastes more lead, I find that compromise is acceptable for the greater variety of lines that can be drafted, and the more naturalistic feel in lettering and freehand sketching. Plus having powdered graphite is useful for the occasional hand rendering.

Have you used a uni shift? It sems to be very solid becouse you twist the grip and push in the grip without moving the tip so the grip acts like a sheath. While the dip doesnt move at all. Also i have not used a ms01 but how that works is you twist a gear behind the grip to slowly extend the tip up and down as much as you want. To have it fully extended or have the tip almost pushed in all the way into the housing of the tip would give it almost no wable or twist it all the way to protect the tip.

The 600 is a great mechanical pencil, I’ve owned 2 in my lifetime. The first when it was introduced back in the 1980’s when I worked at a drafting supply store. That one I believe my ex-wife has, I should be able to get it back 😂 Bought another one a few years ago o add to my collection of constant use lead holders. Everyone always loves how cool the 600 looks, I actually did not realize it was brass under the coated finish. Typically because of the non retractable tip I leave in on my coffee table or desk. The 800 would make a fine addition though I have several Pentel GraphGear so I’ve restrained myself. As an artist I do like wooden pencils for drawing, though mechanical pencils are so useful in many other ways…especially for so for writing.

The rapid pro is really the lifetime one. The nib is retractable. I also did engineering and it has lasted for 8 years give or take. It wrote many tests (I made my teachers accept pencil writing as the tests and exams where all very neatly presented, which was pleasent for them I guess). The brass started to appear on the grip only because of the acidity of the sweat, but apart from that it is immaculate. It is very heay though and my hands cramped a lot. But I didn't care. Love surpasses all!

Dropped my 600, and just bought a replacement tip... really surprised you completely replaced the pencil when you might have just been able to replace the tip

Hi, came across your channel and loved it. Do you think you can make a video about your handwriting? I think it is beautiful and would love to see a detailed video on how you write each letter on capitals. I think many people would love to see it!

You can buy replacement tip sections for these pencils if you damage them rather than having to replace the whole pencil.

With the video title and going in blind on this pencil, I was expecting a price tag upwards of $100. Pleasantly surprised.

Your first point is exaclty why when I got my 600 and broke it the same way, I knew I had to get an 800. Whenever my fingers start to wonder and the pen ends up flying across the room I can retract it and be able to insure an better chance that it's guts dont explode.

Back in middle school I was obsessed with the 800, eventually switched to the 600 and bent them back aswell... Wish these came with replacement modular parts

My only Rotring 600 complaints are that i wish the textured metal grip was longer back (about the length of a Pentel graph 1000) and the little black bit of the nose cone extended further out from the grip. Other than that, I LOVE this pencil
