I started with 2B, then 3B, now I am up to 4B. This is the best lead. It writes soooo smooth and erases very easily. You can write darker with less pressure. If you suffer from fatigue when writing, this lead will help you.

I write every day. The lead I use in my mechanical pencils is very important for visibility and ease.These leads are awesome.

This 4B lead writes much darker and smoother than 2B lead, and, in my opinion, it is better than the Pentel 4B.

Writing this for the "Pilot Mechanical Pencil Lead Neox Graphite 0.5mm, 4B". I have compared it to other leads for your convenience, see an attached photo.I use a mechanical pencil mostly for writing, prefer softer and darker leads that don't scratch paper and don't break too often, mostly use 3B and 4B leads. I haven't bought leads for years (they never end in my drawer), decided to buy a few fresh ones of different brands and see what's up with the quality these days.Please see the comparison photo of HB rOtring, 2B rOtring, 3B Uni, 3B Pilot, and 4B Pilot. Note, to test erasing, I applied the same eraser with the same force twice for each lead type.In general, all the compared leads are good, made in Japan, no big cons (don't scratch, don't break). Rotring, however, disappointed - 2B lead was breaking several times during a few lines of writing, HB scratched paper a bit. I didn't expect that from rOtring. Could be an old dried-off stock of graphite though. Pilot 3B is softer than Uni 3B.Conclusion: my preference hasn't changed - Pilot 3B. I think, depending on your needs, the entire line of Pilot Neox Graphite should be considered as the first option to buy.

This is a great lead. It's very soft and dark for it's rating as HB. I'ts more like 2B or at least B. It has a very fast feel to the glide across paper. The lines are not crisp but they are the darkest I've seen. Those are all good things. The problem is how soft the lead is and how fast it wears down. For me, fast weardown is a deal-breaker. Tied to that is smudging/smearing. Neo-x is about as smeary as I've seen. Be right-handed. Strong, dark, but not too handsome with wear-down and softness, smearing. If that's not an issue, this could be a first choice.

3B is black as expected. It is smooth as expected. Not easy to break. However, 3B does not work for Pentel Orenz nero. I turn to Pentel Ain Stein 2B lead, which works.

I’ve never run so quickly to review a product. This lead is IT! Silky smooth. Like a fountain pen pencil. A bit soft so don’t bang your pencil around. It’s a samurai sword not a knight’s battle sword.

This lead is so smooth and dark you will think you are writing with ink. So great. I fluctuate between this and the Uni smudge-proof. I like them both, but this one is smoothest and is what I have in all my pencils.

Not sure what it was, but this lead kept breaking so I had to return it. Also, it sounded "squeaky" when writing

When I first saw the price of these leads compared to locally available brands, I almost didn't buy it. But you definitely get what you pay for. This is the smoothest, darkest (for the grade), and all around best lead I have ever drawn with. Now that I've tried it, I don't want to put anything else in my pencils.

Very nice lead! Velvety smooth flow when writing and darker than others I’ve use. Other leads leave a sheen or shine with their markings, but not this one. As such it’s easier to read in some artificial lights. I use this in a Rotring 600 and find that it advances more smoothly and efficiently in that pencil’s mechanism than any other lead I’ve tried.
