Does anyone have any experience with the PicoPen?

I'd keep it in my pants pocket with my keys. So my questions are:

- Curious to know if it writes decently?

- Won't explode from body heat?

- Doesn't 'glob' ink as you write?

I don't know to much about the PicoPen but use the Inka Titatium Pen on my keychain.

I also recently got hold of a Timberline Tactical Pen grin

realize that the pen itself is 2 11/16ths long. if you have large hands it might not work for you. for my average size hands it's a bit small, but works for me. wouldn't try to write a book, but....

nope.

and the question you didn't ask: does it come off the holder while in your pocket?
no. not ever. that magnet is incredibly strong. had me worried at first, but again, it has never let go unintentionally anywhere

I have been carrying Fisher bullet space pens for about 20 years I have had the current one for 5+ years and they just plain work and they work in any position which is important for me since most of the time I and not sitting down when I am writing.

Not sure about the PicoPen as I have not felt the need to try anything else

Most companies won't sell a product with pants-exploding capabilities, but I'm working on it.

LOL -- I forgot who my audience was.

Just to be clear, I was worried about the ink getting too hot and leaking out of the pen onto my pants or shirts.

Thanks for all of the replies, I ordered a pen.

I tried one last year, I fell apart the first day. The wire "lock ring" would no hold it together.

Piece of garbage. I'm sticking with the space pens.
