The Pilot Capless is a fountain pen that clicks like a ballpoint. Press the end and the nib slides out, and press again to tuck it back inside. The Digital Tech edition comes in matte metallic colors, chosen to sit next to a laptop or a phone.

When the nib goes back in, a small shutter inside the pen closes over the opening, which keeps the ink from drying out. So the first stroke comes straight away, even after it has sat in a drawer for a while, and you can open it, write and put it away with one hand.
