Product Description
Last year, Taipei-based BN Works set out on a mission to create a sleeker, sturdier pen—one to replace the pile of pens that typically clutter your bag, desk, or drawer. The result is the BNdot: a retractable ballpoint that’s got a whole lot going for it Read More
Used it a lot today and to be honest, I expected more. The click feels to far off (80%) pushed. It feels like it should click sooner. Also, something rattles inside even with a easy flow 9000. I also feel the tip doesn't stick out far enough. On top of those, it's kind of chunky feeling.
I bought the black one from the last drop and I'm generally happy with the pen. It came presented in a nice box/package with a fold out that explained the heritage of the company and the inspiration for the pen. Solid and clean fit and finish, and the clip-push mechanism works great. I took out the preloaded Schmidt P900 black refill and replaced it with a Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 refill. The pen now writes super smooth.

Wish more companies would make pens using the Pilot G2. I've used many ballpoint styled refills (including the Schmidt) and none have written as nicely as the Pilot G2.
TheRavenI don't believe it takes the Pilot G2. It takes the Parker G2-sized refill and similar-sized refills, if I'm not mistaken about what the description says.
nickaa827The pen body makes a difference when you're writing. What I really appreciate is a pen with some heft. I think it makes writing easier and it just feels better in the hand. No to mention nice pens are something you tend to keep up with more than a cheap disposable. I have been using a Karas Kustoms Bolt (in brass) for over two years. It has seen a few cartridges, but the same body and it will probably last forever. Lastly, people notice small things like your choice in pen. When I'm out at a restaurant or in a busines meeting, I get comments. What you write with, like what you wear, makes a statement about who you are.
TL;DR - Because awesome, and who doesn't want awesome?
This is actually a pretty nice pen and their packaging is beautiful. I had a chance to review one during their initial launch and I rather enjoyed it. I didn't think it was totally worth the price at full asking, but at the lowest price of $40 here, it's a good deal. My review is here:

Thanks.
And that was supposed to say loose tip, not lose top, but I can't seem to find the edit function. Did they remove edit from the discussion page again?
WhichwaydidheGoYou should be able to hit the three little dots next to "Reply" and click "Edit" to change your message. The tip I'm not sure about. With the Schmidt EasyFlow 9000, it doesn't "click" at all so it's not a concern. But if you're using the 900 (which I don't like at all), then it's a tiny bit loose. That's a finer refill though so that may be why.
