Quotidian launched the Quotidian Pen on Kickstarter last month. The Quotidian Pen started off strong, hitting its $4,000 SGD goal within 20 minutes of its launch. It was 640% funded within 48 hours. With a little under two weeks to go, we've crossed the 1600% point with a current funding of over $46,000 USD.
So how does it actually work? Breaking the cap will reveal the surprising absence of the pen nib. Bringing the cap to the back of the body will allow the pen nib to propel out. Apart from that, due to the magnetic forces of the neodymium magnets in the Quotidian Pen, you are able to interact with the pen in the most addictive ways possible. For the first time ever, instead of just clicking and uncapping a pen, the Quotidian Pen allows you to flick, spin and fidget to your heart's desire.
The Quotidian Pen is made from precision-machined metal and is offered in aircraft-grade aluminum and solid brass. The aluminum is coated to create a high gloss surface, while the brass is deliberately uncoated to allow for a natural patina effect overtime. Carefully designed and engineered to have a fantastic center weighting, it provides an effortless yet premium writing experience. This all comes at an affordable price with no luxury markup—Quotidian believe that quality products do not have to come with extra-inflated prices.
The Quotidian Pen is currently live and available to support.

After spent hundreds of bucks on Lamy`s fansy pens, I think the refill is the most important element for a succesful pen
I watched the video, and found that the cap looked to be off-center after being nudged to the side. I was going to suggest adding an inset bevel to force the cap to re-align, but it looks like there already is one in the close-up pictures. Having it off-centered like that, even by a hair, would bug the hell out of me. I'd be constantly trying to center it rather than fidget.
