Comment on Overengineered Japanese Mechanical Pencils [video]parent

Comments

A product is not overengineered when it has many features, but when its many features make basic usage problematic, generally because the thing becomes less robust and fails too often. These features in the video look useful, but we haven't heard anything about failure rates, so we can't say if it's overengineering or not.
