Is the ballpoint tip retractable? If so, what is the retraction mechanism: twist or push?

The ballpoint tip is retractable by a twist mechanism, similar to a Cross pen. I am kind of a 'pen junkie' who has a collection of very nice pens and I must say this Parker Sonnet exceeded my expectations. It is a smooth writing, well made and expensive looking pen. It is one of my favorites!

Egor - This is a thinner pen in my collection and it retracts w/a twist to the left. The point is not really fine w/gel but the writing is quite smooth and the "bang for the buck" factor is very good vs. Cross, Mt. Blanc, etc.

Yes it is retractable, and it is a twist mechanism. It is an exquisite pen!!!!!

On the set that I received, you twist the lower barrel of the stylus and the ink tip retracts or extends

Yes, the lead as well as the tip are retractable. It's so wonderful to use, as I do daily. It's well worth the price. Enjoy!

No, the cord is not retractable; however, the power cord is very easy to wrap around the cord holder and extremely simple to deploy any desired length of cord. I prefer the manual method because cord retractors are infamously known to malfunction. The spring mechanism frequently malfunctions by either not retraction the full cord when desired or completely breaking so that you will still have to wrap the cord manually.

The pen's ball point tip extends and retracts by rotating the barrel of the pen, much like other high end pens.

You may have received a faulty pen. If you are referring to the internal threading it should be even. My pen retracts fine. Your pen should also have a rubber O-ring to keep the pen from moving and keeping tension to open and close the pen.

The pen retracts when turned counter clock wise. Once this has been done, the pen will not leak. This is a great pen!!

No click (which would get in the way if its being a glass breaker or using ur thumb to stabilize if the clicker were on the end). 4 very small twists and the pen is out. Less than 2 complete revolutions. No cap to loose. I'm very happy with this pen, esp for the price.

Yes, of course. The ball point will not scratch, it retracts completely. Gave some to my co-workers and they LOVE them - we work on iPads all day. Tip is maybe 4 mm.

This pen is not retractable. I bought 2 of these pens as gifts. The people I gave then to told there good quality pens. This pens are diferent than other pens when it comes to ink life. It is all in the frequency you plan to use it for. The cartridge is guaranteed to not ever run out. As in "never". If it does Fischer will replace the cartridge.I hope this helps.

yes, it retracts by pushing a button with your foot, the same way that other Mieles retract.

Not very well. I would stick with a retractable regular stylus. Amazon sells them. Good luck

If the Dr Grip is a retractable, I would say no. The refill is 4 1/2 inches long and does not have a spring. If the channel in your pen is that long and the refill pen point could stick out, you might be able to use it as a non-retractable. I tried it in a G2 and it was too long. I hope this helps.

My pen was the same way. I just realized that the carbide tip is threaded as well as the hidden key. Just use a pair of pliers to tighten it down and it will be fine.

Hi!No, it doesn't, but it has a better way to hold the tips. It has a retractile mechanism that hold the tips perfectly. Very strong hold.

Rubber tip. No drag. I found it to be similar to using my finger, except it's a bit more accurate.Hope this helps.
