This Rotring ballpoint pen has a comfortable weight and a very pleasant rough surface. In the area where you hold the pen with your fingertips, the surface is corrugated (like a file) and thus provides good grip. Whether the pen writes good or bad, depends on the mine. Bundled Mine is not bad, but quickly accumulates at the top of some ink on what, frankly, annoys me. Another use mine, but happens to be really difficult and not influenced my opinion of the pen in any way.
Long-term experiences are still pending, but so far I'm very pleased with the pen and can really recommend it.
