Some people say that since the tip is retractable it can become wobbly while writing. Anybody else have this problem?

I have never experienced this problem, and I'm very particular about how the pencil feels on the paper.

I have had this pencil for several months now and have not had this experience. Mine has not been wobbly at all.

I've been doing a lot or writing with this, and no sign of wobble yet. I alternate (depending on what I'm doing - drafting type project, or just writing) between an upright use, and a more angled (and harder on the "nib") use, and it still is nice and solid.

Wobbly may be a bit of an exaggeration but there can be a bit of movement in the tip. I have a two Graph Gear 1000's, one tip has no movement and the other has maybe a 1/2 mm movement. The movement is imperceptible while writing though, at least for me.

I don't have that issue with mine. It should be sturdy and the lead should be firm. Nothing should be wobbling. There are couple things I can think of that will made the tip wobbly when writing; 1- wrong size of lead (smaller size then what the pencil was made for) 2- didn't screw the tip that housed the retractable tip all the way in.Hope that helps.

I tested it with a pb the size of a crossword book while sitting in a chair and it worked fine. I had to pull the cord tight so the piece of plexiglass would hold the book open tightly and I could write on it in pencil with no problem--it did not tip over. Glad to help!

It's OK if you write slower and more deliberately. liek the rest on here said, some lines can disappear. it works OK if you don't scribble fast

I have both pens and have not had any trouble with either. I would be very upset if that happened to me. Maybe Waterman can give you some relief from this situation.

I have a rattling bit of metal too. I think it is on purpose so shaking the pen mixes the ink and prevents a bubble of air from keeping the ink from reaching the nib

I didn't have that problem. I suggest you contact the seller. I was impressed with their communication after receiving the product. They emailed me to make sure it met my satisfaction...and I hadn't even contacted them. But, my mom uses it strictly for a stylus. I like the netted material imbedded in the rubber, it seems to be more precise as a stylus than the plain rubber ones. Email the seller, I'm pretty sure they will rectify your issue.

Well, I've only had that issue when i used the eraser a lot. There is no way to stop it from going down after that. My advice is get an eraser on the side like a "magic rub" eraser. How this helps :(

I think it depends on how you grip a pen. If you have less than a death grip on the pen there should be no problem, also make sure to retract pen before using stylus.

The tip is sturdy, however be mindful you shouldn't press it against the paper as a normal pen. Sakura recommends to use it at a 90 degree angle and not to add a lot of pressure when using it. I've owned several and no broken tips.

My husband had the same issue and it works great for him! I use a small tip and it has really helped.

Hmmm... interesting question! It looks to me as though it isn't intended to be removed. I haven't attempted to remove it. I think it is just part of the pen. That's my opinion on the matter.

No, the tip is too fat and mushy for that. This seems more useful for scrolling, flipping pages and clicking on icons etc. It is just not suited for drawing or note taking as far as I can fell.

The cap when covering the nib is very secure. When the cap is on the end of the pen it can withstand a few rigorous shakes before coming loose, but if you are just writing it will not even move. I am by no means a pen expert, i just bought this pen cause it looked cool but it turned out being a really sturdy pen as well.

My Expandz pen has a distinct snapping sound when I close it which my Tele-Scopic pens do not make. But, I have never had a problem with either type of pen writing on anything when closed.

Hasn't happened to me. Occasionally it would make the cursor jiggle a little when I'm hovering the pen so I turned off touch gestures. This is because I have a laptop and I just alternate between the touchpad and the tablet. Personal preference.

Hi A. Held! The Friendly Swede here:-) Apologies for the late reply, we're cleaning house on questions and noticed we missed yours! I would describe it as soft and pliable, not a firm writing tip. We do have some that are more firm for writing though, I'd be happy to show you some other options. Let me know if I can help you further at this link:

I have never had a problem with that. If I were to venture a guess as to why this is happening, my first question would be - what are you trying to clip it to? The only way I could see this coming off is if the clip was streched beyond its capacity. If you use a clip board, clip the pencil to the inside of the clip, or a couple top sheets of paper. It's not made to clip to anything thicker than a composition notebook cover. The other suggestion of bending and super glue sounds like a reasonable fix for the existing problem.
