Comment on Overengineered Japanese Mechanical Pencils [video]parent

Comments

Pencil smudges are definitely still a huge issue for left handers....

I think that pencils are of course nice cuz you can write things lightly and then erase stuff. But honestly, after being forced to use a pen when moving to Europe in HS after years of "you have to use a pencil for math".... just scratching things out works so well.

Pencils also are pressure sensitive, if you want to do anything like gradients...

I still like pencils for doing paper puzzles or the like, just cuz it's a bit easier to "fix" stuff, but it's definitely the minority of my usage.
