Great - please do keep us updated on the progress for the mechanical pencil! I think there is quite a lot of options for types of mechanisms for the pencil, though I would expect that your target audience of designers, illustrators, and creatives, would like to have a good quality functionality, since they care about the weight of the pencil to begin with?
I would like to also inform you that we are having a pop-up store in Singapore to celebrate the launch of the projects platform. This pop-up store will take place from 1st Feb - 31st March, with the launch event on the 28th Feb. We would love to showcase the Keed mechanical pencil prototype at the event since it will be launched on Projects, and also any other products you may wish to display along with it together to showcase your brand Studiohole. Some products you may want to consider might be your JUN Bluetooth Speaker, Hole cd player, and concrete skin, since they all showcase your process with concrete. You may also want to consider displaying your prototypes and process for the audience to understand. If you are interested in this opportunity to showcase your work to people in Singapore, you may ship the products to us and we will help you display them? Let us know, as we will have to make the arrangements asap?
