Game on.

It's time to power up the ol' CRT TV, dig your favorite gaming system out of the attic, and blow some dust out of the cartridges. Built once again on both the Side Click and Slim Side Click models our latest Seasonal Release, the 8-Bit, is inspired by early video game consoles with a black and gray matte Cerakote finish, a bright orange clip with a deep-engraved pattern, and a red "reset" button for when you're done jotting down notes or run out of extra lives.

Available until June 27, 2023

The Standard [5.8"] comes with a Pilot G2 0.7 mm refill, the Short [5.3"]comes with a Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 medium refill, and the Mini [4.6"] comes with a Pilot G2 Mini 0.7mm refill. Many of our customers like to use their own personal favorites, however, and so we put together a list of compatible refills that work with our Side Click and Slim Side Click pens.

In lieu of the typical metal commemorative card, we decided to have some fun and got custom 8-Bit tokens made by Osborne Coinage, America's oldest private mint who's been making coins, tokens, and more since 1835.

Borrowing from one of the most iconic gaming accessories of all time, we deep engraved a "ray gun" design on the clips before hitting them with orange Cerakote. The result is a subtle, retro look on an otherwise bright accent piece – perfect for staying up late and saving the world.

We added a "RESET" engraving on the pen body in 8-bit font next to the red side click button. Hit it you're done taking notes or run out of lives.

About Cerakote
Cerakote is a thin coating of ceramic that's applied to the surface of our titanium pens. It's abrasion, chemical, temperature, and scratch-resistant but not proof. Hard wear will still show on Cerakote but we love that it gives us the ability to put colors on our pens without adding serious weight or thickness.

    Fun Pen!

    I have the original Tactile Turn pen that I love but couldn’t use for work because I think the surface of the pen would eventually cause wear on my shirt pockets. Not sure if it really would or not but I didn’t want to take a chance. Since the Roswell is smooth, it’s the perfect opportunity to have one of my favorite pens for work.

    The action is a little softer than my original pen and the flying saucer is a nice detail. It’s now my favorite pen!

    My Favorite Pen

    I was attracted to the pen because of its whimsical styling. It is so well engineered that the shaft appears seamless. I love the weight of it. This is the first bolt-action pen I have owned, and I find it quite easy to operate. Excellent craftsmanship overall.

    With it being a seasonal release the shipping was a bit slow but the pen is absolutely beautiful. I wish it was GITD paint and not just UV reactive but it’s a great pen. I love the starry night inner barrel, beautiful pen. Not my first TT and won’t be my last

    Phenomenal pen as always. Tactile turn has some of the most unique seasonal/special pens of any pen maker. This is definitely an EDC pen and I won’t need another one for the rest of my life. Highly recommend this pen especially but you can’t go wrong with any pen from tactile turn.

    Very cool!

    As someone from New Mexico, this is a really cute pen. I love it. I got both sizes in it and ordered pen sleeves so I can safely take them in my purse without fear of damage. I ordered new ink for it based on the sheet they have so hopefully that works out, I am a fine ink girly myself. Otherwise it’s a wonderful addition to my collection!

About Seasonal Releases

If you're tuned into our Limited Release drops of exotic treatments and materials, you probably noticed that they tend to sell out pretty fast. Seasonal Releases are much easier to get your hands on because, instead of a set quantity, they're available for a set period of time. No fast fingers required or having to dip out of that important work meeting to try and snag one from your phone in the bathroom.
