Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that the full Small Details Review of the new Switch pen is up on my channel! Spoiler alert: I absolutely love it! ua-cam.com/video/wO29JiWVNC0/v-deo.html Huge thanks again to Will and the folks at Tactile for letting me check this new pen out!
These first ones are going to be $149. Zirc in my experience does not have the same properties for lubricity that bronze does and would lead to a much less smooth feel. I do not have any plans to make the mechanism from Zirc.
Nah, we decided that a Pilot G2 size would be too long since this mechanism needs to be a little longer. These come with Schmidt Easy Flows, but you can chop half an inch off of the G2 and it'll fit well. The mechanism is three pieces - two of those are titanium and the third is the bronze switch in the middle. In the video we talk about trying a few materials and bronze felt the smoothest, so that's what we went with.
@@yenhoang9 The forces on this mechanism are quite light. We are offering a lifetime warranty on it because we are confident that it will last through millions of clicks.
Will it accept one of your timascus clips?
Looks like the perfect add to the line up.
lol I think they stayed up for about 5 minutes. I hesitated and missed out.
Looks awesome!

Awesome, thanks so much for doing this!
Damn, looks amazing. Sold
How are these priced? Any plans on using zirc internals as Magnus found out would be the best option?

Seems cool! Pls do it with the real clip and not the screw one
Does it use G2 Pilot and full titanium internal ???

@@TactileTurn But bronze will oxidize and does not last forever....

@@TactileTurn still waiting for full-titanium version !!! The smell of oxidized bronze layer is so disgusting !!!
