Is this some ironic amish thread? Pens are deprecated technology.

Typed using Fleksy on my Redmi note 4X.

I write with a generic lead-holder pencil I found in the street a few years ago. I get the leads/graphite from burning free Ikea pencils so the wood falls off and leaves only the graphite. I write on scrap paper I get from the local recycling center.

use a parker and have done since i lost my space pen. i would replace it but the parker cartridges are cheaper and work just as well imo

>>61780113
Pens are not deprecated, computers need electricity and are less portable.

>>61780119
damn, hows that paper though?

>>61780176
You should try a cheaper fountain pen with a converter and a bottled ink.

I'm this guy btw,
>>61779987
so thanks for the paper. Anyway. I've got a lamy fountain pen with a refillable cartridge, a small tip and two bottles of black ink (a small one for my backpack and the refill bottle at home, both glass). The ballpoint is a rotring rapid pro with a Parker cartridge inside since the original was shit.
For making small drafts and stuff like that I use the 3 different mechanical pencils on top. I think I'm good with this setup for the rest of my life

>>61780176
How good are these space pens? I like the idea of having a pen that just werks.

It just took less than one year in 2nd grade.

How much time did you spend on it? Also laptops weren't allowed until college and even then it depended on the teacher. I did use it for the rest of my life.

While you are correct about them being Jinhao's, I can assure I didn't over pay for them. They cost me 10 bucks each, I call them
Bulows because that's the name on the nib.

Friend has some silver pen with gold accents, worth $800 apparently. He never uses it though. Why do people buy expensive pens but not use them?

>>61788196
moreover, why do people buy non-generic pens in general if they cant write in cursive?

>>61788230
Pens are often seen as status symbols in the corporate world. If your friend has an $800 pen, I doubt he's flipping burgers at McDonalds.

Cursive is faster to write in if you actually develop proficiency in it.

>>61789806
Which can take quite some time. I can write in cursive and sometimes it's hard to read what I wrote.

Pretty good, but the one I have is pretty small and can be awkward to use for extended amounts of time. But the good part is you can throw it in your pocket and it's there when you need it (if you can find it)

I've got the plastic one, how's the heft and feel of the metal on the roulette?
I'm wanting to get some metal pencils that'll last longer and just feel better.

Anyone know of any good, metal, mechanical pencils in 0.5 or 0.9 that won't break the bank?

Are parker pen refills good or are they memes like the space pen ones.

>>61790446
The only metal part of the Kuru Toga Roulette is the grip, so it's not really metal.

If you want a good metal mech for cheap get the GraphGear 1000 or the Staedtler 925 25. They usually go below $10 in Amazon.

>>61790504
Yea, that's what I saw in the reviews, which is why I opted for the all plastic one, but still, the grip is the part you're touching the most and i'd figure more weight would be there, despite aluminum being light.
Thanks for the recommendations.

Using this for years because of telescopic design so it's pocket friendly and won't stab you when sitting down.

Will probably order few chink pens just for fan.

>>61795377
If smartphones were more ergonomic I would be fine with using them. Problem is that phones are too cramped and as a result any virtual keyboards suck. If there was (or maybe is) a product that could write well and still succeed commercially then writing lots of text at a time (or lots of text in general because it's hard to preview on smalp screens) then phones would be more viable. But napkin notes are much easier with pens, and big things are easier on paper or just on a PC.

>>61795422
>>61795433
Those little things are really a big piece to pay for a factor 4 slowdown, having to fiddle with physical paper, not being able to copy, not having pixel perfect text, not being able to send etc. Etc.

>>61795569
Depends on what kind of notes you take. I need to draw like 90% of the time, so paper's better for me.
Besides, you keep ignoring other shit things of phones. And it's not like you can't do both.

>>61795569
Factor 4 slowdown assumes that you're always at full speed on a smartphone. You aren't because you have to stop and think. Physical paper is fine, and on the upside it is much less limited in what you can do. Pixel perfect text has uses, but isn't ultimately that important for many things. Copying and sending are objective upsides of digital, but desk PCs and laptops both do it better. Also you can technically scan things.
Overall, smartphones have taken too many compromises to write more than a paragraph comfortably.

>>61795599
If you need to draw a lot, sure. If it's just typing i don't see how paper is beneficial at all. For large pieces of text i could surely read better from my phone than from handwriting. Just because the letters are perfect.

>>61795631
In many situation i use my phone to write stuff i could barely even use paper because the environment makes it really awkward, whole traveling for example, while walking. Etc

>>61795662
That doesn't mean that pens are deprecated. They are a baseline for all writing because they can do just about anything anything else can do, even though they don't do it all as well, they do all of it (which you can't say for just about anything else). For general use, pens are good (use them anywhere, draw diagrams freely, write in an open space). For specific needs (write while moving, sending things electronically, write fast) there are devices, but none of them cover everything without compromise.
