Tactile Turn's Brand New Pen - Small Details Review - Switch Pen - Magnus ClickShift - Titanium EDC
Published: 4 months ago
This pen mechanism is flat out brilliant! Today we're taking a look at the newest pen to Tactile Turn's lineup: the Switch Pen. This features an updated, optimized mechanism originally designed by Magnus Macdonald on his ClickShift pens. I adore that pen, but they are super rare and were crazy expensive, so it's incredible that Tactile Turn will be offering this brilliant mechanism at less than half the price!
These will be releasing August 22 at noon Central Time over at:
