It's the same basic design and build quality as my rOtring rapid PRO which I've had for 15 years, but slimmer and shorter. At first I thought it must be lighter as well, but in fact it's nearly the same (my scales measure 22g vs 23g for the rapid PRO). I think it's because the weight distribution is better, being less back-heavy, so it doesn't feel like it's going to tip backwards out of your fingers. If money was no object, I'd replace all our mechanical pencils with this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rotring as Rotring should be. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 August 2025* Looks as gorgeous as it feels and feels as quality as it looks. I think the weight is about perfect, the action is smooth and reliable and it feels like it was a pretty good price for this quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but ultimately not worth the price, still a pencil at the end of the day. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 March 2026* Very nice pencil, that feels very high quality and durable.Seems to write well and the led doesn’t break easily.I got a green and it’s actually quite striking!I got drawn in by the reviews and whilst it is a good pencil, it’s just that, a pencil. So I would say it is quite expensive which is why I have knocked a star off. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rotring 600 Mechanical Pencil 0.5 mm, Blue Full-Metal Pencil Body, Hexagonal Drafting Pencil, Stocking Stuffer, Holiday Gifts for College Students, Christmas Gifts for Teachers - rOtring Mechanical Refill Erasers for 600 and 500 Pencils, 5-Pieces (502720) - Rotring 600 Mechanical Pencil 0.5 mm Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/245261667-rotring-600-mechanical-pencil-0-5-mm-blue-all-metal](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/245261667-rotring-600-mechanical-pencil-0-5-mm-blue-all-metal) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
