A ballpoint pen that takes care of not just the user's comfort, but also those around them — the Calme Ballpoint Pen is Pentel Singapore's newest ballpoint pen launch with a very special trait.
Ever felt annoyed by a classmate or colleague's pen clicking? That's quite a common feeling! Many people, especially those that are sensitive to sounds, find pen clicking irritable. As a result, others might be sensitive about how loud their pen clicking is. In order to solve this problem, Pentel has adopted a mechanism that softens the clicking sound as much as possible, while maintaining the feeling of clicking a pen. This is the Calme Ballpoint Pen, designed for serenity.

The mechanical noise when clicking has been reduced by 66%* compared to conventional Pentel products (*compared using sound pressure Pascal). The impact felt on the hand when clicking is also softened. How does the quiet mechanism work? |

The Calme Ballpoint Pen also features a long, leather-like grip similar to that of a camera. Since the grip is long, it is designed to fit comfortably in your hand no matter where you hold it. |
| It is equipped with a smooth, oil-based ink that produces a deep colour. This ink is less likely to cause dirty stains after writing because it is an improved version of ballpoint ink that reduces blotting and smudging. |  |
