I have a Schon DSGN - Pocket 6 with with a fountain pen nib AND a roller-ball tip. Much like the Inventery (in pocket-pen mode), it will only take international short cartridges (which I refill with an ink syringe). I purchased The Schon DSGN pen in black anodized aluminum with copper sections (both the fountain pen and roller-ball) - so it's very nicely balanced (the copper section nicely front-weights the pen and the aluminum body and cap have a nice light weight in the pocket). This is the ultimate EDC pen (IMHO).
I have a carbon Engage with a stylus on the end - very useful on my iPhone touch screen. You have to make sure you click away the nib or you get a large ink leek in your top pocket..if you fill them with ink,don’t leave them unused for long periods. The tips can be hard to clean out. Soak for several days in Monteverde pen flush.
I have a Monteverde Mega rollerball that takes fountain pen ink via a converter. It is okay for a rollerball and might be a tad slimmer than the one you have in this review. I'm not big on rollerballs but it is nice to have one in the stable. I fill mine with Waterman Blue.
I had the One Touch and found that you had to replace the actual rollerball regularly which was a pain. PenBBS has a model that allows you to swap a nib for a rollerball. Stipula had a model, also. Interesting pens but unless the quality of the ball has improved, I would buy another.
I found the concept (fountain pen ink) appealing so I picked up a One Touch (and some other but I forget what it is) but did find it plagued with hard starts etc and variable ink flow with a few different inks so now I'm kinda off of them.
Having a one-touch agreed with tour comments as it is really big and fat diameter with back weight during writting , if the make it slimmer it would be in a better place... the last one you presents looks interesting specially it is 2 in 1 pen , thank you for your video 👍
As writing becomes less and less important, these kinds of pens become very useful, cause changing inks is fun. They don't solve the friction problem, as fountain pens do, but computers will be doing most of the writing anyways, so wheee!!
I'm sorry but I've so much trouble and mess that gel pens are becoming more attractive. Travelers Brass pen has an roller ball tip that can be purchased that works well. .

the tip on the Monteverde One Touch Engage comes in 3 sizes, Fine, Medium, ans Broad. The broad is very smooth.

Got one from Ferris Wheel Press for my wife. Works well with the inks she's tried so far. It's on the smaller side, light (plastic).

Sherpa makes a refillable rollerball adapter for their pen cases. They also make a fountain pen adapter.
do you have any experience with the retro 51 rollerball converter?

Stabilo makes a bunch of different models of this type. I generally don't like them. They tend to be scratchy.

Nothing wrong with that. Gotta pick the tool that works best for you.
I prefer fountain pens, but I have rollerballs, ballpoints, and pencils, too.
