I love the Voyager so far. 💜

    Unrelated, but what are those pens?

    I almost got the moonlander, but decided on the glove80. Still getting used to it. I need to just bite the bullet and force it as my daily.

      Nothing exciting, I’m afraid! The orange pen is a Pilot from the Retro Pop collection, and the silver pencil is a Pentel Graph Gear 1000.

        I like them quite a bit. I don’t know what it is about pens and notebooks…

        E: and keyboards, obviously. I’m here, aren’t I? Haha

          Pretty sure Extremely Special Office Supplies are a gateway drug, and one of the places that can lead you to is… here. 😁

            You’re not wrong. It’s what started me on the mech kb journey so long ago. I wish I remembered what pen it was, but it was my teacher’s and had a very satisfying click to it. He said that it was the same click as the old mainframe keebs that he used to work on. I was young, and had no idea what he was talking about, but a keyboard can sound and feel that good? I had to know! Fast forward to today, that dragon has not yet been reached, but the chase continues on both fronts (pen and kb).

        You could have done far worse with both. Pilor and Pentel are great. You could have bought Visconti limited edition which fail to work out of the factory, horror of horrors. Pilot is reliable little worker and won’t fail you. Great bang for buck.

          True! In fact the Pentel pencil saw me through both undergrad and grad school (in math, so quite a lot of hand-writing of stuff). It’s basically family now.

            Indeed. I got my brother both of those, although I got Pilot MR Gold, not retro. But still. Great pens. Work reliably for awesome price. Fountain pen is a bit of a nail for my liking (Pelikan user here)… but you can’t argue quality and reliability. Only character.
