Uni Alpha Gel Switch The new Uni Alpha Switch mechanical pencil can be switched from a standard mechanical pencil to a "Kuru Toga" pencil according to the user preferences. You can use the "Kuru Toga mode" when you want to write beautiful characters with a certain fineness and darkness, and "Hold mode" when you want to write a lot with a stable writing feeling. "The lead keeps turning with the "Kuru Toga mode and the "Hold mode" will stop the lead from turning. By turning the clip part, you can switch between "Kuru Toga mode" and "Hold mode". "Kuru Toga mode": By rotating the lead little by little each time you write, the tip of the lead is always rotating, so you can write beautifully without fattening the written characters. Ideal for making beautiful notes. The "Hold mode": If you want to write a lot quickly on the entire surface of a note without worrying about the difference in the thickness and shading of letters, you can write with a stable writing feeling. Ideal for studying memorization. The soft touch of Uni α GEL grip keeps you focused more in your writing and less fatigue on your fingers. The newly developed "Gel Sand Grip" has a three-layer structure that gives it a soft and fluffy feeling, and it feels like it's being held tightly. Therefore, you can write comfortably even after using it for a long time. The αGEL softly absorbs finger pressure. In addition, the third layer of silicone rubber stabilizes the "grip" firmly.
