It's great, at first, but it would appear that the auto-rotator will not function as well after a while. Yes, I use its custom lead, yet it will not rotate anymore without me nearly cutting through my paper with the lead.



Also, the erasers are a nuisance. You have to remove the cap to use them, then, if you want to put the cap back on to not lose it, you have to line up the dot and then press it in hard enough to press the button, and end up extending the lead. For each eraser you put into the holder, it's virtually impossible to use the remaining 50% without using a tool to extract it from the holder, and use it by hand.



There's also the uncomfortable grip. It's not comfortable to hold, especially for something with longer fingers. Most luxury pencils (or, even really cheap ones) have a softer, rubbery grip. This one is just metal, and requires a little more muscle, causing the hand to cramp sooner than most.



My whole reason for buying this was, because the automatic rotating feature was much-needed so that I wouldn't have to manually rotate my entire pencil. Without this feature, the pencil has no redeeming factors, and I've wasted money on their custom leads for nothing. Overall, I think the design is a bit flawed.
