So this lead me into the idea of pencils, or rather, mechanical pencils! If you've looked for a high-end mechanical pencil, then you've undoubtedly stumbled across the rotring 600/800/800+ series. I personally don't want something to replace my finger, so I opted out of the 800+ and simple ordered the regular 800; I already mentioned: I'm not an engineer, drafter, nor architect.
So for the regular person that is wanting to try a nice mechanical pencil..... How exactly does it feel? Simple! This thing feels better than anything else you've ever touched with a graphite core! I'll assume the readers have filtered themselves through a ton of mixed reviews, but I'll just say that unless you've handled some sort of ultra-simple and ultra-high-end drafting pencil..... The 800 will put a smile on your face. The second it touches the first page, you'll feel an immediate connection, or rather a full-blown obligation to excite your very own tactical page-dump. In a nutshell, you'll wish you owned something like this during your high school days.
Does the lead break? No. I swam through over a hundred reviews that boasted the whole lead breaking thing, but I assumed it was because the fittings weren't properly tightened.... I actually feel like I was right. Right out of the mail box it was loose.... Pretty much all of the mechanics were loose in all honesty, but I tightened them before the 'lead' ever hit paper. I haven't had a single break yet. This isn't to say I'll never have one, but while I may not be a technical drawer, nor an engineer, I assume breaks come from wobbly pieces, and these are absolutely stone-solid once you tighten everything.
It wobbles: it does, by definition, have a bit of play. With that said, the "play" is significantly less than any other mechanical pencil I've ever used. The guide tubes in every other mechanical pencil I've ever tried has significantly more play than what I'm seeing with the 800. This may move literally (in definition) a hairs-width when it hits the paper, but it is 1,000 times more precise and less playful than any other mechanical pencil I've ever used.... I'm just someone that wanted a fantastic mechanical pencil, not some engineer or drafter.
It feels like a marshmallow when you advance the lead. Nope, my specific sample is crazy clicks and has insane advancement feedback. Idk if this has been improved, or if This is simply the mindset of someone that isn't in that type of career, but it isn't spongey like I've read at all. Keep in mind that I did tighten everything, so maybe that's why, but I'm not totally sure.
The actual mechanics feel really solid. When you extract the tip, you realize this isn't some sort of cheap Zebra pencil. It is about 1/4th of a turn to manipulate the tip, and it is scary efficient. The second you hit paper with it you'll most definitely smile.
In the end, I'm sure that, by definition, the 600 model will be more precise, but as someone that's not in that type of career where I need to draft or design..... This thing really does make you feel like you've been missing out on the world of graphite. Perhaps I received a premium example, I'm not sure, but after feeling the one I received, I am pretty sure I would return/swap this as many times necessary to eventually get a good one.... It's that nice.
To me, this is typical German engineering — sturdy as hell and very utilitarian. The knurling ensures no slipping in the hand. The clip design is uninspired (i.e., clunky). And it's heavy.
The best feature is the retractable tip.
These days, I'm collecting items that are aesthetically pleasing and exceptionally designed. The rOtring falls a little short.

Cumple con las expectativas. Su diseño es tan ergonómico como atractivo a la vista. Su peso ideal se posa sobre la mano permitiendo controlar sus movimientos con la precisión requerida. Es un artículo hecho para durar y utilizarse mucho tiempo satisfactoriamente, lo que en conjunto compensa el valor pagado. Vale la pena comprarla.
