Buying questions
How do you advance the lead?
Shake the pencil or press its top button. The shake mechanism can be locked for storage. This is a shake-and-click mechanism, distinct from an automatic-feed pencil such as the Pentel Orenz AT.
How does it compare with Uni Alpha Gel Switch?
Both offer cushioned grips. THE Dr. GRIP focuses on shake and push-button lead advancement, while Alpha Gel Switch lets you choose rotating-lead or fixed Hold mode. Compare the mechanisms as well as the grip before choosing.
