[Limited] Smash Mechanical Pencil / Pentel

The Smash 05 I purchased has a nice dark green color and a very attractive appearance, but I can't read what the lead grade window says. I'm a little older and even with glasses I can't see what's written inside the little round window. Why not use a color that contrasts more with the background for the characters? A nice color like the yellow of the Smash 05 writing, for example. The mechanical pencil writes very well, of course, but the rubber grip is noisy: it creaks and squeaks like when we wrinkle wrapping paper. Pentel, what are you doing: here next to me is one of your mechanical pencils from a few years ago: the 120 A3 (A315-N) model, has a black rubber for a very silent grip which, even after years, doesn't show a wrinkle. It may be the fault of the new biodegradable and low environmental impact materials, or of a small manufacturing defect in my pencil but the grip creaks and I consider this a defect. My review ends like this. Greetings to everyone.
