(Pros and Cons)

(＋)Great unique rubber grips. It provides nice cushion while I'm writing. 

(＋)It has an excellent weight balance, not too heavy or light.

(＋)It provides enough space between the lead tip and the grip area which allows us to see our line work for drawing or writing.

(＋)Not too thick or thin to grip
(＋)The mechanism works smoothly and firmly, it easily advances and has no play when writing. 

(－)The price is too high for mechanical pencil.

(－)Black one is so cool, but the new colors should be more fashionable or cute.

(Rating)
I give this mechanical pencil a score of 9 / 10.

I think this mechanical pencil is the almost perfect for me. It has a cool design, and provides us comfortable writing. The most favorite point is the square rubber grips. I never seen this kind of grip before, and it was perfect for me. Although, the price is a bit higher for mechanical pencils, so I gave it minus one point.
