Just like the original alpha gel pencils, but with a clip and green body. Awesome color and great squichy grip; it does take a little while to break it in, but after some use, this thing is insanely squishy! My major gipe with it is the serious issue of lead jamming. It seems that alot of the time, the tip of the pencil (where the lead comes out) sometimes is manufactured improperly and the hole is too small for the lead! So the lead gets shredded and stuck inside=unfixable jamming. If the pencil is made right, about 2/3 times (trust me i've bought about 5 of these now for various reasons and in different colors), it is fantastic! Just a caution to those thinking about getting it; if you aren't prepared to return it if its broken, don't risk buying this one.

  Great pencil! Same amazing..., October 3, 2008

Great pencil! Same amazing squishyness as the originals, now with the shaker feature. The one reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the weight, which is significantly higher than the regular alpha gels. The tip and body are sort of plasticy. Not a major issue, but I just liked the heavier version more. Of course maybe you want a lighter alpha gel! Anyway, still awesome, and the colors are fantastic.
