Is Rotring tikky good?
The grey rubber is very hard and not particularly grippy, so whilst the grip looks good, it is only average in actual use.

No, the Rotring 600 doesn’t have a rotating lead mechanism like the Kuru Toga. Do you find this helpful? It does not automatic lead rotation properties, nor does any other Rotring mechanical pencil models to my knowledge.

What is the difference between rotring 500 and 600?
The only difference from the 600 is its plastic body. In terms of which I would recommend or prefer, it mostly comes down to personal preference. I prefer heavier pens overall but I also like pens that have a center of balance close to the tip.

The barrel is hexagonal except for the knurled grip section, which is round. The cap comes off to reveal a small eraser, which can be removed to add more lead to the reservoir. The top of the pen features an indicator window (knurled, of course) that allows you to select what type of lead you currently have in the pen.

Is Rotring 600 retractable?
The 600 is the lesser expensive version that does not feature a retractable tip. The Rotring 800 has a retractable tip but I decided to start with the lower priced model and see if I liked the pencil before I considered upgrading to the retractable 800.
