CROSS Switch-it Refill

Review 5 CROSS Switch-it Refill

Several days ago, I found my cross century ballpoint.
I got this pen from my former boss but have not used for a long time.
Because I'm not satisfied with the writing performance of this ballpoint.
I was thinking to reuse this pen in any way....

Then, I just got a gadget to convert ballpoint to pencil!
This converter is innovative product, which you can convert ballpoint pen to pencil.
Very good idea!
The video below shows how it works.


Actual package.
















It comes with 3 leads inside and two extra eraser.
I think that the eraser on top is not workable, just imitation.
Pencil lead is 0.7 mm.
It looks like regular ballpoint refill however it has a unique pencil mechanism on it.




















Installing Switch-it refill is pretty easy.
(1) Take ballpoint refill out from your pen.










(2) Install Switch-it refill into your pen. See above video for details.










Pen point.



















Switch-it is twist mechanism, not crick mechanism.

One twist.










Two twist.










For me, one twist is enough length to write.


Let's try writing!
Switch-it twist mechanism is a little unique.
It may not be good for quick action however it works really fine.
The writing is very stable.
I'm not satisfied with ballpoint but very satisfied with this converter.
Below is writing sample.
















Overall (9/10)
The idea of Switch-it is very nice.
It is innovative product.
I'm very satisfied with it.
I can reuse my cross century as mechanical pencil.
The writing is very stable and lead width is good for writing.
But it only hold up to 3 leads inside and is not good for quick action.

If you have unused century and need pencil, try it!
