The 800+ adds a handy capacitive touchscreen stylus to the well-loved 800. With most stylus pens and pencils, the stylus tip goes on the far end, which means the pen or pencil isn't as comfortable to hold when using it as a stylus. Rotring found an interesting solution - add a hole to the stylus part so the pencil mechanism can push through it. The stylus still works really well, and doesn't get in the way at all when using the pencil. Heavy metal hexagonal barrel with cylindrical knurled grip. The 800+ features a retractable tip - twist the knurled control above the clip to extend or retract the whole writing tip, making the 800+ exceptionally pocket-safe and less susceptible to accidental sleeve damage. 4mm fixed sleeve. Eraser under the push-button. Matt black finish. 142mm long with tip extended, 134mm long tip retracted. 25g. Supplied in a simple card box.
