Write at home mainly with a Rotring Newton, an heirloom. I no longer wanted to use in the office, because it would be a shame if he got lost. So looking for a replacement and found! I'll start with the two small flaws: The index and middle finger rest on top is no longer as harsh as in the Newton. Still rough, but not quite as handy as the Rapid has at this point per finer texture. But overall still acceptable. The second weak point is the threaded plastic. The new Rotringe received its name from the red ring in the middle, so the thread of the pen. This is, unfortunately, entirely made of red plastic. It can last, although it does not so solid impression as the metal threads of Newton. Among the strengths: The writer has a perfect weight is well balanced, good grip and feels softer edges due respect to the strict hexagonal cylinders of Newton on some ergonomic thumb on. You write well and very happy with it, can write something as with other Rotringschreibgeräten. For this, the matt black finish is a real eye-catcher. This ballpoint pen seems to swallow the light and looks elegant and classy without splurge. Because little processing defects to the Newton models only four stars, but overall a very worthy successor and a valent pens for everyday life, the leaves nothing to be desired. Anyone who sees him low, should strike!
