You're looking for the Rotring 800, my friend. Twist to retract / extend the lead sleeve into / out of a rounded nub. And it has a beautiful solid heavy build.
There are also the Pentel GraphGear models, which retract / extend with push, but the build isn't as satisfying.

The pointy metal ends on these bend so easily though. I love the concept but that just makes them a liability for daily driver use

Having used the Rotring 800, I can’t imagine why anybody would choose it over a GraphGear 1000. Even without taking the price difference into account.
Yeah it’s a sad day when the tip land straight onto the floor :(
