Tactile Turn Switch

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that the full Small Details Review of the new Switch pen is up on my channel! Spoiler alert: I absolutely love it! ua-cam.com/video/wO29JiWVNC0/v-deo.html Huge thanks again to Will and the folks at Tactile for letting me check this new pen out!
Awesome, thanks so much for doing this!
Does it use G2 Pilot and full titanium internal ???
Nah, we decided that a Pilot G2 size would be too long since this mechanism needs to be a little longer. These come with Schmidt Easy Flows, but you can chop half an inch off of the G2 and it'll fit well. The mechanism is three pieces - two of those are titanium and the third is the bronze switch in the middle. In the video we talk about trying a few materials and bronze felt the smoothest, so that's what we went with.
@@TactileTurn But bronze will oxidize and does not last forever....
@@yenhoang9 The forces on this mechanism are quite light. We are offering a lifetime warranty on it because we are confident that it will last through millions of clicks.
@@TactileTurn still waiting for full-titanium version !!! The smell of oxidized bronze layer is so disgusting !!!
How are these priced? Any plans on using zirc internals as Magnus found out would be the best option?
These first ones are going to be $149. Zirc in my experience does not have the same properties for lubricity that bronze does and would lead to a much less smooth feel. I do not have any plans to make the mechanism from Zirc.
Looks like the perfect add to the line up.
Seems cool! Pls do it with the real clip and not the screw one
Damn, looks amazing. Sold
Looks awesome!
hey i just got my tactile turn bolt action pen and the tiamascus bolt for it. do you guys have a video about how i install that bolt?
I wasn't aware ya'll did special edition bolt action moku-ti and mokume gane pens/pencils. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for both. lol. I have a zirconium pen/pencil set with moku-ti clip/bolt and absolutely love them both. I also have a pencil in bronze with moku-ti clip/bolt and a the full size blot action pen in bronze with moku-ti bolt. I'm working on getting the slim bolt action pen in bronze so I can have the moku-ti clip/bolt so it matches the bronze pencil. I won't buy another writing instrument since learning of Tactile Turn. imo nothing beats the quality that Tactile Turn puts out. the weight of the bronze, imo is perfect, and I love the milling pattern. the pattern is subtle but yet gives you great grip while writing. Absolutely perfect pens/pencils imo.
I bought one with a cerkote finish. The mechanism feels kinda rough to press down and click. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?
Very pleased with my new Deep Space standard side click! What a beautiful pen. The mechanism seems gritty/scratchy though, and I was anticipating the action to be a bit smoother. Is there anything I can do to fix that? Thank you for your help and the great pen!
I got the deep space pen too! I just clicked it a whooooooole bunch and it's smoothed out a lot imo, I think it really does just take some time to break in to be honest
ذر😊😅😊سشش😅 😊😊ش
Absolutely love your pens!! The designs, cerakote & anodizing, different variations, quality, machining...it is simply stunning! I have 4 of them myself & I never thought I'd be addicted to pens lol. Keep up the great work, Tactile Turn Team!
Love the videos
Whoa GXAce?! That’s awesome!! His content is always so amazing
who tf is buying this $150? F off
Awful customer service and ordering system. Regardless of theirs good pens quality, but the ordering system is ripping you off, in the last 1 month it happened twice that I ordered the pens, but never shipped, the money deducted, when I try to send emails asking about the delay after 1 week, they just gives unreasonable excuses which I don’t need to know about like theirs staff holidays and loves for theirs families or Andrew’s baby girl so that I have to wait, then they just cancel the order and refund the money, after telling the truth that the pen was by mistake in stock and now it is not! Every time they do this trick, I lose $30 as an overseas customer from the exchange rate through my credit card. There is already people stuck with theirs malfunctioning mechanism of recently released Slim Side Click pen, good luck to get that fix with Tactile Turn and theirs beloved families. good luck also with theirs Lifetime warranty they are using it as a marketing niche. Amateur people or logistic company who is administrating theirs website and shipping process. If you still like theirs product I advise to buy from a reseller, at least you deal with a trustful people. But for me never Tactile Turn again
What about doin the original adam west batman logo and color scheme on a pen those colors would be great the grey the black and yellow.
ok so my question is, why is this pen $149. its a pen, you can get a pack of them from Walmart for a few bucks. this is just dumb
I just got this as an ad. It feels like a cryptobro is trying to pitch me a 3D printed pen lmao
we really need to revive this channel!
I have the Nautilus from last year, and it's the pen I always grab. Excellent quality and a great writer.
can you guys make live videos of the pen like reviewers do? I appreciate the ad but I want to see what the pen looks like in person if I'm going to spend that amount of money on a shell for a pen lol.
I'm kinda tired of having to wait a few weeks after a seasonal release for some random person to post their opinion and real perspective of the pen.
You'd think something like a clip of "writing with the pen" would be an obvious inclusion in an ad for a 150 dollar pen. I get it, there's 3 different sizes with different ink carts so this may be hard to advertise properly but the writing isn't what I want to see anyway. I can google any pen with those refills for that. I want to see what this 150 dollar pen looks like.
@@zambasp ٩خ😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤
Love this video! Nicely done.
Too much matrix, not enough pen.
GXAce is so amazing. Anyone that hasn’t seen his UA-cam channel, I strongly suggest going over there now.
The horror....the horror.....
I somehow have managed to miss every seasonal release for years now lol.
Is there a fix for the click mechanism when it doesn’t stay locked when the plunger is pushed down? I have to push down the plunger at least 3 times quite often when my slim slide click doesn’t stay in the locked writing position
We made the internals a hair too small on some pens and it allows the spring to bind between the body and the internal. We need to get you a new pen. Can you email me at will@tactileturn.com? I’ll get it sorted.
@Will Hodges @Tactile Turn Hi Will, your side click mechanism is awesome, I understand from what you said in the video is that you are happy to let other maker use this mechanism design right? Also do you sell this mechanism, I'm interested in making pens and I found your mechanism is great, simple and effective
The bolt will always become loose! Very disappointing
Yes, people want life time guarantee. Then pass it down to grandchildren. Good for all of you.:-)
I just want to know what they didn't want us to see in the QC area. My Side Click arrives tomorrow, looking forward to adding another pen to my collection.
We have an inspection machine that I didn't really want all of my competitors knowing what I have. Nothing major, just trying to keep my advantages where I can. I hope you love your new pen!
side click is very gritty, very disappointing
Ordered my first “nice” pen today. It was a short bolt. Can’t wait to get it in a few days.
Will, please answer this question. Your answer will be so valuable for me: I am starting a new company that is going to produce a mechanical machine which I have designed. Those components of it which need to be produced with lathe have dimensions similar to a normal pen; From 10mm/12mm stainless still bar they should be made. They have lengths in the range of 4cm to 9cm. Also the same cuts that I see you have created on these pens (I mean that cut which is like a J on these pens of your company) should be made on some of my components as well. So, I know that I need a lathe with at least 3 axis; X, Z, C. It should also support live tools. But my question is that whether I need to buy a Swiss type CNC lathe, or a normal CNC lathe can also do the job for me. The advantage of a normal lathe is that it is more versatile and I can use it to make some other products in the future as well (as the other products that I think of creating in the future need to be made up of about 5cm bars, which is quite large for a Swiss lathe). But on the other hand Swiss lathe is more accurate, as we know. I really don't want super accurate results. I would say, any lathe which is good enough for producing these clean pens that you create, can do my job as well. So, could you please let me know which way you think I should go? I already thank you a lot for this informative video.
are your pens are available in germany? i dont want to order it from us and wait 20 days to ship. i will buy it as a birthday gift for a friend
Yes, you can get them from here: www.writingturningflipping.com
Expensive, but Corinthian bronze/shakadu is the urushi equivalent of metal in terms of surface finish. Plato is quoted saying (Criti. 114E) that this was "the most precious of the metals then [in the mythical past] known except gold”. Alfred Gilbert, who is best known for Cupid in London Trocadero, did a lot of experimentation with Corinthian type alloys to achieve unique colour and lustre (aubergines were particularly favoured, if i remember). This alloy also allowed leaching the surface of its bronze constituencies to affect a pure gold surface. The Japanese Shakadu used Corinthian type inlays which when given patina revealed the inlay as dark coloured.
Just received my bolt action: zirconium /5.6"/ Titanium Damascus button. I absolutely love this! Hope I receive my pair of GT'S soon, ordered same day. Gel isn't my favorite but I'm going to try the ultra fine and see how that works. Bravo guys, everything in house. Even the cerakote.
How do I clean off the patina off of my bronze TT bolt action pen? I've tried all the typical acid/vinegar-based home concoctions and they don't work, which is suprising TBH. I even rubbed the pen with a jewelers cloth and the patina will not budge. Please advise? Thanks in advance.
Can you sell these again? I gotta have one!!
Paul Milano shipping and assembly manager... I just lost $280 on a zirconium short that never arrived at my home due to USPS "1st class" shipping. I really wish a more reliable free shipping method was provided at that cost. Very disappointed and upset, but I'm sure one of my neighbors is quite happy to have a fine pen with my name inscribed on it
Send an email to customerservice@tactileturn.com and we will sort it out.
@@TactileTurn thank you for the quick response. I went neighborhood knocking this morning and found it a block away on the porch of a home with a similar house address 32### instead of 33### I appreciate your willingness to help one of your customers resolve the postman's mistake
@@abehaile2659 oh wow, that’s great! We will always make sure a customer gets what they pay for. USPS first class isn’t great, but we rarely have problems. Thank you for letting me know that you found it!
those tools are so close to the collets during operation crazy lol nice video
Just ordered one, very excited.
They are expensive, especially when you consider that the seasonal version is $50 more that the regulars. But I'm very pleased with my Standard size model, and the Cerakote is done quite nicely.
Would love to see a stealth black tactile turn release one day.
Ordered my first one. So excited!
Just got the Nautilus and the Titanium Bolt action pen. I love them and they feel awesome to use. Love what you guys are doing keep up the good work!
