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.

It is an ergonometric design meant for better and more comfortable grip just for left hand.

You have to find the specific lead type that corresponds to the pencil. If this pencil is .5 lead, it needs .5 lead. The lead will simply fall out and the functionality of auto-rotate would be out of the question.

yes, I am left handed. that is why I buy this style. It can be use with either hand

It doesn't 'do' anything, its apparently to indicate what type of lead is in the pencil (you rotate it to the appropriate type yourself). A useless feature, in my opinion, but does no harm. If I were a draftsman, I'm sure I would better appreciate its subtleties :)

I personally don't believe it would. If you are VERY lightly complected with very very light blonde hair, or on the opposite end of the spectrum and dark complected with black hair I think those are out of the realm for this pencil. But I have read of people with black hair using it and it working for them, it just really doesn't get *that* dark when drawing on my hand, so I'm not sure how it would work out.

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

It is designed to be physically mounted to a wall or desk with screws. Even when it is mounted it is not designed to be used one handed. You have to push the pencil in as you are cranking the handle.

I am left handed and use these to grade seam allowances. Gingher quality makes them precise cutting tools for grading seams. I used them upside down. Since I am only cutting a single layer there is no thumb pain as in using right handed scissors. I don't think that Gingher makes a left handed pair or I have never seen one.

I don't really draw -- that being said -- for some reason I imagine it might be a nice pencil for drawing. Lead is soft and I like writing with it because it's almost effortless. The downside to this is that it requires frequent sharpening, especially since i also prefer a very sharp point as well. And...since it writes so dark, doesn't erase as easily sometimes. For me, it's a very comfortable pencil. Wow, realize how OCD I sound. Anyways, hope this helps...

I'm not sure..... I tend not to use the eraser on the pencil (I prefer using a Staedler Mars plastic eraser). Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I am left handed and use it for sharpening almost anything. Simply flip the base around so you hold it with your right, the knife in your left. It works!

I use this stylo to slide or click on words or photos but I never draw with. I believe you have to look for another kind of pencil. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, I'm right handed, but I'm a teacher who works with teaching kids to write. My take on this nib is that a left hander could use it easily enough, but it lays down a LOT of ink, and depending how you were trained to hold a pen/pencil, you may end up with a constant smear on your paper and the heel of your hand. Try buying a pen with a finer nib like a Platinum Preppy. But since the price of this pen is low, it might be a good place to start...

It is right handed for draw on right. You can wear on left side for a cross draw with right hand.

It is made for right handed individuals but if you want the battery facing forward a left hander can make use of it. Not practicle though.

Download the free app test it for yourself if you like it and want to buy the pencil to unlock the app buy it....my daughter loves the app and practices writing letters with she right handed , but the app doesn't differentiate between the two

It's like a normal pencil but without the wood. This also depends on the hard/softness of the lead.
