Is this pencil comfortable to write with for extended period of time (4-6hr of note taking)?

I never tried it before but I'm assuming that it should be due to the design at bottom of the pencil; which contains a hard grip. Hope this help

Light but balance is good. Yes, if you do not have a heavy hand when writing. Hope this helps.

I use it with the Notability app for taking notes and I like it much better than any other stylus that I have tried. The stylus tip is a little mor firm and gives you a better feel when writing.

The cap makes the pencil seem like a fountain pen. it will not get caught up in your shirt pocket and you'll always remember to put the cap back on. That's my experience anyway

I think it kind of feels like a gel pen. It's really smooth and sometimes it can be rough with the amount of times you use it but they are great pens.

It is for me...I just prefer the feel of a regular keypad, particularly for extended use if you're writing a lot.

I own both. They're both great Styluses if used only for the Stylus aspect of it. If you're looking into Pencil by 53, you're most likely wanting the erase functionality as well (when paired with the Paper app). If you ONLY want a stylus, this is still a great option, but you're paying for features you may never use.

This pencil would be excellent! However, I like fine writing instruments and this is an excellent mechanical pencil.

While it is true that this pen stylus has no cushion in the grip, it is very comfortable to grasp and write with. I don't use this pen every day. I keep it in my attache and use it when working with my tablet to make notes/edits on paper as I am reading.

I too have a very heavy hand. These are good pencils, but I don't think you'll find them to be the miracle pencil you're looking for. It is definitely better than standard yellow #2's, but it is only a wood pencil and has it's limits. The lead does collapse under the pressure of a heavy hand with a freshly sharpened tip, but holds up well overall and I think you'll notice and like the difference. If you really want to fine tune it, why don't you get a set of nice graphite pencils in different hardnesses and see which you prefer, then go from there.

I've used mine for 20+ hours and the nib is fine and no scratches so I'd say not normal.

I don't write with it all day, but I think it's comfortable. It's truly the best pen in the world. I've yet to use another pen that I think writes nicer. Buy it, and if you don't like it ship it my way :)

I use it all of the time and find it quite comfortable. I'm taking multiple classes and use it as my only writing implement in every one- note-taking as well as homework.Good luck!Sam

I bought the pencil and pen for my son who is the only left handed person in our household. (I am able to use both hands but, am primarily a right handed person) my son has issues with writing legibly. He has told me that the smaller pens/pencils are too narrow. I guess because he is in grade school, this is so much easier for him to handle. I myself prefer fatter pens. I think it depends on your grip and how you hold pens/pencils. I guess in the great scheme of things, it is universal, however I think it boils down to preference. And when my son said his hand ended up hurting while using smaller, narrower pens/pencils, I thought I'd give this a try. I'm glad I did.

This pencils last about 5 hours if you lick your lips a lot because they are very mac I recommeded to use a lip balm before applying them in your lips.

This Parker that I have is a medium point and it writes great. I have used fountain pens for a long time, stopped when I retired and have returned to them when I took up writing for pleasure. This is my go to pen. I have not experienced the problem of hard starting after lay off of several days. However, I use quality ink (Parker's Quink brand) and the Parker cartridges. I love the heft and feel of this recent Parker. It just feels perfect in my hand. Good luck!

I would certainly not try to write on the paper after such a short time. The 24 hour recommendation is something I would follow. As I said I have never tried to write on a print, and I didn't mean to suggest that you could write on it after a few minutes. Sorry if I misled you - I was thinking of a few hours, rather than a few minutes.

This pencil is awesome. I use mechanical pencils in my daily life. I use them for drafting and to write dozens of pages. The weight and feel of this writing instrument is excellent. When combined with the nano particle diamond lead that comes with it, there is little comparison. I have used the same mechanical pencils for years and this made me change brands. It writes incredibly smooth and the leads last longer than conventional leads. If you are looking for a quality writing utensil, this is it. Proffesional pencils of this quality are much higher in price and are not any better. I highly recommend this for anyone who is serious about the quality of their writing tool.
