## Description

Low center of gravity for stable writing Knurled to prevent hand slipping. It has a display window that can be used for the hardness of the lead (HB, B, 3H, 2H, H, H, F).

Review: I recommend - I love these pencils for the weight and the comfort of use. I have the 0.3 and liked it so got this one. I am trying a few mechanical pencils for sketching and I would recommend this one as an affordable and quality pencil. It is simple, like not retraction, but well designed and comfortable.
Review: I used to be a draftsman, and this is one of the most comfortable mech pencils I've ever had. - I am delighted with my MUJI Low Center of Gravity Mechanical Pencil. I started working on civy street as a draftsman after I left the military and I have had a wide range of quality mechanical pencils to work with. Now I'm 66 and retired, and my hands shake a little. I needed a pencil like this that is weighted so that I can feel it touching the paper more easily. I love the fact that the tube where the lead comes out is only marginally larger than the lead itself. It allows me to see "around" the lead as I write or draw. I love the knurled grip. I love the fact that the push-button can be rotated to show what grade of lead is in the pencil...HB, F, 2H, 3H, etc, so that you can have two or more pencils with different leads and know which is which. I love the fact that the eraser (which I won't be using) is a standard size and can be easily replaced. The pencil came with five extra leads in the body besides the one that is loaded. It feels good, it writes well, it clearly lets me know what grade of lead is loaded. This pencil is great. I'm buying at least two more: One for softer grade of lead (B) and one for harder (2H). I don't know if they make a .7 or .9 mm low center of gravity model, but I'm going to buy one if they do. BTW... I haven't had it long enough to see how durable it is. If it fails within a reasonably short period of time, I'll come back here and modify this review. In the meantime: I love this thing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know where to find eraser replacements for the pencil?**
A: Since I have checked and was not able to find out the MUJI eraser replacements, I went to ask it to the sales person of the MUJI store near here in Tokyo. She has answered there is no eraser replacements for the MUJI mechanical pencils which MUJI has to prepare.

**Q: Isn't this a Pentel Graphgear 500?**
A: Random side note, the Graph Gear 500 is available from .3 mm to .9 mm and maybe as a lead holder.  The body colors let you know what size lead is in them if they're in a pencil cup or something.

**Q: What do the different letters on the cap mean( H, 2H, 3H)?**
A: They indicate the hardness of the lead, personally I'm a fan of HB. You can change them yourself be rotating the cap to show whatever lead you chose to fill it with

**Q: Does the tip wiggle back and forth a bit while writing? I tried a 0.5 mm by another brand and it wiggles so much my cursive writing looks like I'm 8!**
A: No, I've not noticed that at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basically a Graphgear 500 in white
*by J***N on September 7, 2023*

Though this is branded and distributed by Muji, it's almost identical to the Pentel Graphgear 500. This one has a white plastic body, while the GG500 comes in a variety of darker colors. The GG500 itself is one of my favorite pencils: well-balanced with a quality feel. This version is if anything a tiny bit fancier on account of its slightly nicer eraser cap, which adds a white plastic top over the metal section which the Pentel leaves bare. The Muji top has a lead hardness indicator window in it, so that's an extra feature.
