This is a very cool pen, with a great switching mechanism. For my taste, this pen could've stood to be a bit heavier weight (I'm not always easy on my pens), and somewhat more solidly made, but the body IS solid metal, and the switching mechanism is really the most innovative I've ever come across.

As far as refills go, being an artist I like to have a wide selection of colors available to me. For this pen, you'll be hard-pressed to find many refills that are not what seems to be the standard 0.7mm multipen refill size. The ballpoint refills that fit this pen are, of course, the ones made for it, Hi-Tec-C SLIM refills (and no other Hi-Tec-C refills), any refills made specifically for the Cross Tech 3 multi pen, or any other multi or mini pen refill that measures 2 5/8" long by 1/16" wide/high/across. Monteverde refills that will fit this pen ARE available at colorado pen, and in a GREAT selection of colors (purple, red, pink, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, blue black, black, AND brown) and two tip widths (medium, which is approximately 0.7mm, and broad, which is probably 0.9mm). If you're looking for fine point refills, Levenger also offers multi pen refills (which they've since renamed "mini pen refills") that will fit this pen and other multi pens. You're stuck with black, red, or blue ink with them, but they do at least offer medium AND fine point refills that will work beautifully with this pen.

If you're looking for a great, all around go-to pen for both drawing and writing, you really can't beat the cool factor of this one with the weighted switch mechanism, and the low price! So whaddaya waiting for?! ; )..

A very good pen that is a joy to use. It's weakest trait is the pocket clip not holding up. The clips come loose from the pen body under what I would consider normal useage. These pens are not as durable as the MWB-1000BS.

This is a very cool pen, although the shade of blue shown on the page for the blue version is not accurate. For a better idea of the true shade of blue this pen comes in, look to the photo of all four colors on the main Multi Pen page. The pen itself is actually a deep slate blue, not the lighter silvery blue shown on the item page (and no, my monitor's settings have nothing to do with the washout or overexposure of the photos shown on the specific item page). For my taste, this pen could've also stood to be a bit heavier weight (I'm not always easy on my pens), and somewhat more solidly made, but the body IS solid metal, and the switching mechanism is really the most innovative I've ever come across.

I was tempted by this many times and never got one until now. I am thoroughly impressed. Slimmer than I expected, precisely 9.5mm for most of the body, then slightly widening to 10.3mm at the tip. The grey body has a finish that is very slightly iridescent depending on the angle you look. It is also a bit easy to scratch. But nothing's perfect. It's also not priced too high. Love it.

This is an excellent pen. One caveat to those who like pens that "sound" solid. This operates with loose parts, so you will hear some rattle when you move the pen quickly. Also, one of my dislikes with the components is that there is no .3mm pencil option. I am currently using it with .3mm Hi-Tec-C Slim refills (black and red), and I wish the pencil could also be .3mm.

Fyi, the pen's length is 5 1/8". Most pens are at least 5 1/2". The pictures do not show very well but this pen is labeled as "Mini" right under the clip. I was disappointed as I thought I located the Platinum multi pen I lost a few years ago. I shall keep searching...

First impression upon receiving this pen was that it looks just like the picture. I was surprised at how light it was. The feel is thin and cheap generally, but the mechanism is very solid and nice. The pens that shipped with it were not good at all in my opinion. Based on the suggestion of another reviewer, I ordered some other colors/widths from Colorado Pen. This pen is very slim, which I like. I received another pen from Amazon which I like a lot better, and it has four pen selections:Yafa Quad-Point 4 Function Pen, Green Grip. This pen is solid and has the fourth slot, which is cool. I swapped out the stylus with one of the pens I bought from Colorado Pen. It takes the same refills as the pen I am currently reviewing.

this is the best multipen for the money it is professional and very nice to write with. Buy it even if you have doubts

This pen is amazing with the Hi tec refill. My only problem and the reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5, is because the weight of then multi pen is so light. I wish it was a little heavier.

This is an awesome pen. Feels really sturdy. It's not too light but not too heavy. The switching mechanism is awesome and really smooth. My only complaint is that you can't switch out the pencil for another pen. I have another multipen that I got while in Narita Airport that looks almost identical to the one sold by Jetpens except it holds three pens and only costs 10 dollars. I wish Jetpens carried that pen xD. Ah wells this one is great too and looks better than my ten dollar one!

This is a very good pencil! I have relatively average hands, and the grip is just the right size for me. The gravity mechanism works very well, and is very, very cool. However, it only gets four stars because of its excessive price and tiny eraser (although almost all of the multipens have tiny erasers).

You can use Hi-Tec-C Refills for this! Awesome! Very nice looking. Good weight. Not really overpriced if you think about it, I saw a similar multipen on Levenger.com for $75. Buy $3 of lead, or a Hi-Tec-C Refill so you can get free shipping too!

best pen i've ever used! a bit pricey, but worth it.
