Tactile Turn - Slim Side Click vs. Slim Bolt Action; Which Option is Best for You? Let's discuss!

tactileturn.com/
• Closing thoughts:
o In hand/Ergonomics - smooth and balanced, action has great tactile engagement, fun to fidget with
 The slimmer profiles, give them an in-hand feeling closer to a traditional plastic pen, just a lot more premium and substantial feeling
o In pocket - unobtrusive and compact, machine grip helpful with pocket extraction
 Deeper carry now even more discreet, great for shirt front breast pockets
o Model variants - Also available in Copper, Bronze, or Zirconium
 Standard, Short, and Mini length options available
o Comparable options - A lot of bolt-action and clicky EDC pens on the market, but few that feel quite this well designed and executed, Tactile Turn remains a top tier option within this highly competitive space
o Bottom-line - You can’t go wrong with either the Click or Bolt style actuations
 They’re both great in different ways, while also sharing the same built quality and materials
 While the Bolt action is iconic and feels like the automatic default choice between the tow, the Side click feels further engineered and somehow more timeless

Just ordered my first slim side click as well as the smooth operator. Ive been a slim bolt action lover and i got the side click to keep at my desk at work. I'll definitely be doing some content around them!

Beautiful pen. Thanks for the vid.

But have you seen or tried the switch from TT? Probably the smoothest action out of the box from them and only gets better from there.

Out of the two what one do you think is more satisfying to click? I’m kinda stuck between these two . I’m leaning towards the slim click.

I like the side click better- more of a natural and ergonomic feel. I also find more tactile satisfaction from the side click mechanism.
My 4 year old copper model feels super satisfying. My newer titanium slim side click needed some breaking in- it felt a bit crunchy out of the box, but with some casual clicking throughout the first couple days, it started feeling closer to my older side click. It also seems the tolerances of newer pens have a bit more play- nothing that will break the pen, but something I noticed right away.
Personally, my favorite model from tactile turn is the switch pen. I got the second run that released a few weeks ago and it is the most satisfying of all my tactile turn pens. Both runs they have done have sold out within 2 weeks, so I expect they will have more on the way. Definitely worth waiting for and the extra price on them if you want an interesting and satisfying mechanism.

I have their limited "thick" version and a chinese clone tall version.. the most noticeable diff is the smoother bolt action on the Tactile Turn. I think the clone is lighter too and has a thinner clip but the machining is on point and they included an extra filler all for about half the price.
