Sorry for the dumb question, but can someone please explain what this thing is? Is it a pencil of some kind? If so, can we see a photo of what the writing looks like?

defgI dunno. But "The Ethergraf metallic alloy tip replicates the feel of a pencil, but is permanent and totally smudgeproof." description made sense to me.

defgLeave it to marketing people to completely obfuscate a simple message with high production value.

erghnestSo does anyone know if this ever runs out of "ink"? Like would it need a tip replacement of some sort after a while?

DeltasEchoBased on what i found online. The cuban writes using a patented metal alloy tip (Ethergraf®) to produce a graphite-like line, it writes like a hard pencil, and its markings - which are lighter than a normal pencil - can even be erased like one. It works by leaving a bit of the 'lead' - or metal alloy - on the paper, but it wears down so slowly it should last for a lifetime of use.

DeltasEchoNice. Let us know how well it does? MD should really consider re-writing the description.
I've never seen so little being said in so many words.
