Our turn...
Based on the Magnus ClickShift™ V1, our version is rebuilt from the ground up to simplify production, tighten up the action, and improve the overall feel. The three-piece mechanism is machined grade 5 titanium and a C63000 bronze actuator switch to provide a smooth action while maintaining durability. It's the same diameter as our other slim pens and same refill compatibility as our short length. Enjoy!

Questions & Answers
How did this come about?
We first reached out to Magnus about the ClickShift pens he was making a while ago when the V1s were out of production and he had plans on making the V2s. We followed up in early 2024 to see if he'd be interested in licensing the mechanism and, thankfully, he agreed. We think the mechanism is one of the coolest ones around and we're excited to bring our version in production.
What do you look for in mechanisms?
When Will saw the Mitsubishi Boxy pens a few years ago he immediately wanted to do an all-metal version so we made it happen with the Side Click. Since then, we've been on the lookout for mechanisms that meet three basic requirements: 1) Manufacturable, 2) Reliable, 3) Satisfying/Fidgety. It's fairly easy to get one or two of those things but much harder to do all three.
Why just one length and diameter?
We're keeping things simple for launch with only one size and material. This mechanism is a little longer than the Bolt Actions or Side Clicks so we felt it'd be too long if we did it in the Pilot G2 size. We might do other variants in the future but, at least for now, wanted to gauge interest with titanium.

Super clean mechanism that only gets better over time. Love the finish and feel of this pen. Would love to see a steel switch swap available in parts to match the overall aesthetic of the pen, but the brass is also nice.

Been a fan for a long time. But this switch pen brings it to a whole new level. Way to go,
- DRDustin R.Verified BuyerReviewingSwitch PenI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoNice pen
Unique design. Works well.
Is it worth the premium price over the old side click model?
Nope!
- WDWilfredo D.Verified BuyerReviewingSwitch PenI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoNear perfect pen
I have several Tactile Turn pens and this one definitely lands near the top of my list. The craftsmanship is exactly what I’ve come to expect from this company. The new switch mechanism works flawlessly. I also like the fact that the pen is thin. It’s much easier for me to hold considering my writing style. My only concern is the pocket clip. It’s super tight. All of my other pens slide in and out of my pocket with the perfect amount of retention. With this pen, I have a take care not to rip my pocket off while inserting the pen. I’m sure with time I’ll be able to work it in so I’m not too concerned. Also wish there were options for the shorter version. Other than that, loving this new pen!
- SMSheila M.Verified BuyerReviewingSwitch PenI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGreat Quality
This was purchased as a gift so I have not actually used it, nor given yet (birthday gift week after Christmas). But the quality seems as good as the last pens purchased from Tactile Turn. The pen is a nice weight and appears well made and the personalization looks great. I am sure it will be as appreciated as the other pens/pencil we have purchased in the past that are still in use!
