NOTE: This version of the pen (Cross Tech-3) DOES NOT have the stylus attachment which replaces "normal" cap at the top of the pen.The pen contains a black, red and 5mm pencil function.Twisting the pen clockwise allows the user to change function, so turn it once and the black nib pops out, turn clockwise again and it disappears, turn it again and the red nib appears and so on.Replacing the ink is easy, you just pull the top half of the pen away from the bottom half (it might feel a bit stuff but just keep pulling) and then can pull out the inserts as necessary.I'd recommend using these as replacements : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008DRZ548/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3VJ1GOX51LFQ9They are much cheaper and give equal,

Overall a good pen... Nice functions, nice thin form factor. The lustrous chrome is a slight finger print magnet, which I thought wouldn't matter but it really can be quite obvious on the pen.I was a little disappointed with the Cross quality though. I found the changing mechanism wasn't as smooth as the reviewers have stated. Also I found that within a few weeks of using this pen, the pocket clip has become quite loose, which I would not expect to happen with a high quality pen.The ink I found was good, but definitely not as nice and smooth as the Parker range.Everything else with the pen is good though; the pens work, pencil is great, and the stylus works pretty well with capacitive screens.

It is slim, black and good looking and very hard working. I love fine writing instruments and, although very reasonably priced, I would class this as such. Combining two pens (red & black) and a 0.07 mm pencil, it is already a useful writing instrument; the iPad ready top button just finishes the package.As a pen or pencil it performs well as all Cross pens do, the twist mechanism is as smooth as they come, and the stylus for iPhone or iPad is great, outperforming my single purpose woven fibre model which cost a good proportion of the cost of the Cross pen.Supplied with a screw-on button to convert it to a standard look Cross pen, my only quibble is with the appearance of the rubber stylus tip,

A long time user of Cross writing instruments, so I'm biased.A good addition to my stable of Cross pens/pencils.The action is smooth and the refills last a remarkably long time considering they are so small (two ballpoint refills and a pencil mechanism in the space normally occupied by one ballpoint refill!).Unlike other 'multi' pens this one is not too fat and is well balanced.Used for over half a year and no signs of wear - the life-time guarantee by Cross is unusual on these type of pens, so its comforting that Cross have that level of confidence in it.Not a cheap pen, a steal at this price.

In many ways the Cross is nicer than the Lamy Tri Pen in my opinion, which is high praise. I think the mechanism to select tips is better and it feels even more solid. The only thing which would worry me for the long term is that the two halves of the pen are a push fit rather than being threaded. Although it may well take forty or fifty years for this to become a sloppy fit!The presentation of this pen was classier than the equivalent Lamy, this one came on a cushion in a nice, albeit cardboard, presentation box in a sleeve.

Excellent pen- multi function but still relatively slim-lined. I use it daily- after losing my earlier version/previous model. Slightly annoying in that you have to cycle through the nibs as it has uni-directional switching, unlike previous models which had the option of cycling through either way. The touchscreen stylus is OK, but not great- a bit wide/imprecise and a little in the soft side. Overall though an improvement on the previous model.

I have been keen over the years to discover a writing instrument with delivers multi functionality. Normally a cheap plasticky cumbersome device which you give to your kids would not be top of your wish list based on its appearance alone.This pen is different. It really works and build quality is good. I bought one and trialled it for 6 weeks before purchasing 20 as gifts to a faculty of experts who came to my conference.Five stars .

First I was suspect to use a 3 in one pen, but since I have it (3+ month) it's now my daily pen as I use also the pencil a lot (I do sketches frequently).The only issue are the 5mm pencils recharges that break easily with the pen, so replace them with a good brand. I have also replace the red by a blue refill as I use the blue and black more often.

Used this pen daily for almost a year, really like it. It writes smoothly and the pencil works well too. Replacing ink or leads is straightforward, pull off the barrel of the pen and then gentle pull out the ink/pencil tip that needs replacing/refilling.The whole of the pen refill comes out, only the end of the pencil does (above the spring!).

I used to have a rotring multifunction pen with a pencil and blue, black and red ink, but after almost 20 years of constant use it broke. Since they don't make them any more I decided to give this pen a go and I love it. Though it doesn't have the three colours of ink, it has a stylus which I prefer. It is thin and quite light too.

This is the fourth Cross Tech3+pen I have bought. Three were gifts and one was for myself. The blue is a really lovely colour. This model has both the stylus and pencil eraser. Very fast delivery from US. Would not hesitate to buy this fantastic pen from this company again, as and when I need some more for friends and family!

This pen goes very well with the Century, Lustrous Chrome collection.I just wished you had the choice of colors for the refills (it comes with a red and a black one, I will buy a blue).As all Cross writting instruments, you have the feeling of a good quality pen when using it.

I have now used this pen for just over a year and it is fantastic. You can switch easily from black to red ink or pencil. great for reviewing documents, writing or sketching and drawing. Wouldn't be without it. Easy to obtain refills from my local stationer.

I have received my cross multi function pen.It is good quality.Maybe it should come with lead in pencil part.The instructions did not include anything about multi function pen.To find out the correct lead I had to go to Amazons web page.

Build quality very good and manages to squeeze 2 pens + pencil into a normal sized pen case.Smooth twist action to switch between pens/pencil.Not sure I will use the touch screen dabber add-on but tried it on my phone and works a treat.
