Looking at getting a rotring 600. I'm tired of going to class and having all my cheap pencils break. Obviously for you the cost is justified haha

The 600 was a great purchase! When first received, my first thought was -- "This is too heavy". On the second day of use, that thought quickly faded as I got used to the weight throughout the day. Honestly, for me at least, this pencil feels really balanced.

You'll enjoy yours if you're a writer!

Yep I think I'll get it, I write a lot of essays and I like weighty pens so this pencil sounds perfect for me. Do you know if any stores carry it or if the only way to get it is online?

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #22855 on:** Mon, 21 July 2014, 12:20:09 »

I bought my Rotring 600 from Massdrop. I'm not sure what other online retailers or storefronts carry them. I've never seen them in a store. The typical retail stores definitely won't. Perhaps you have a Paradise Pen or a specialty store like that near you that you can check at.

I'll have to take a looky around and see if there are some specialty stores then, thanks a ton man. Can't wait to get it.

I bought a Rotring 600 back in 1997. Used it for around 15 years till it finally fell apart about 18 months ago.

Still have my 600 fountain pen in "lava" finish. Pretty sweet. It actually gets grippier if your fingers sweat. I haven't seen any of those in a while.

I bought mine from ebay as I the massdrop buy I wanted to join was out of the black pencils. $2 more but w/e

Amazon also has them

The pic I snapped of the erasers/lead came from jetpens dot com which also sells the 600. I tipped the free shipping point (>$25). Ordered on Friday, recieved on Monday. Not bad for a cross country shipment!

I'll probably order order from Jetpens then. Cause I'll probably go ahead and buy extra lead and some erasers.

Marquette keyboard for a cardiac stress test machine. It's filthy as hell and needs a good cleaning, but has an MX lock switch, some of the most interesting plate mount Cherry stabilizers I've ever seen (and they feel quite nice too), and vintage Blacks (from what I can tell). It's almost impossible to see without a microscope or proper macro lens and good lighting, but the MX Lock does have Cherry written on the housing.

PCB porn for those of you into that:

It actually says Marquette Electronics Inc. above that part photographed, but the plate obscures it.

I'm hoping my other find proves to be as interesting and with Brown Alps...though it could be boring and disappointing.

The stabilizer design is indeed interesting, looks like the sliders have a part that blocks them from going downwards after a certain point?

I think it's pad printed? It's not doubelshots and I don't think it's dyesub PBT (though that would be nice), but it seems nicer than most pad printing jobs I've seen.

The sliders do bottom out at that level, but it's below the MX bottoming out, so you don't feel it.

And I forgot to add (and photograph it), but the spacebar has a linear Grey under it.

I'll see what I can do. I don't have a proper video camera, so I can't do that too well. I'm also a little paranoid about actually opening the MX Lock switch.

And, to be honest, the only reason I bought that board was for the MX lock. The linear Grey and awesome stabilizers were an added bonus.

Yes, it is a Terminator Topre skull and a CC WASD cluster. The cluster's color is apparently called "Fallout yellow".

The WASD caps have the FXE logo underneath, but they didn't show up in my crappy cellphone pic. I'll take some better pics later on when I have a chance.

And I think Sleepy was just joking around with his OG MX, although an OG Tri MX is still really awesome.
