Magnus ClickShift™ Mechanism

Probably the best pen in the world.

Four titanium designs. One remarkable mechanism. Good luck going back to an ordinary pen.

The signature mechanism

The click changes everything.

ClickShift™ puts a distinctive lever mechanism at the centre of the experience. It’s a pen you reach for when you need to write, and one you’ll want to pick up again when you don’t.

Same obsession. Four expressions.

The details

Made to be held.

Look closer and the details start to add up. Each Skelly pairs an open titanium body with a natural matte finish that puts its shape on display. The ClickShift™ lever and custom titanium spring give you something to appreciate every time you pick it up.

01 / Body

Custom titanium

Four distinct cutout patterns give each pen its own character while keeping titanium at the centre of the design.

02 / Finish

Natural matte

A restrained finish that lets the lines, openings and texture of the body do the talking.

03 / Mechanism

ClickShift™ lever

Magnus’s proprietary stainless-steel lever turns a simple interaction into the defining feature of the pen.

04 / Spring

Custom titanium

A custom-made titanium spring completes the mechanical details beneath the design.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Are the four pens sold together?

No. The Skelly 1000, Helix, Hex and Dragon are four individual designs. Choose the one you want from the product selection above.

What is ClickShift™?

ClickShift™ is Magnus’s proprietary stainless-steel lever mechanism used in these pens.

What’s different between the designs?

Each has a different titanium body pattern: dense rounded cutouts on 1000, flowing angled cutouts on Helix, regular geometry on Hex, and an irregular organic pattern on Dragon.

Which one is yours?

Four ways to make every click more interesting.

Straight from the workshop floor.

  • Micrometer Perfect

    Each frame is machined in-house with extreme precision, including the holes that allow the mechanism to align and move properly.

    These are not rough openings or decorative details. They are carefully cut to tight tolerances so every part sits exactly where it should.

    That level of accuracy is what gives the pen its clean feel, reliable action and proper mechanical fit.

    Small details, measured properly, are what make the whole pen feel right.

  • Custom Springs

    This spring is machined in-house as part of the Magnus Pens mechanism.

    The video is sped up, and the material shown is brass rather than titanium so the machining process can actually be seen clearly. In full titanium production, the cycle takes around four times longer.

    Every pen is made in New Zealand, including the titanium spring, screw, pocket clip and other machined components.

  • Machined, Not Just Assembled

    One of the key features of the Magnus Pen is that the core parts are machined from solid metal, not bought in and dressed up.

    The frame, screw, clip and internal mechanism are all cut with precision so the pen feels clean, balanced and deliberate in the hand.

    That is what gives it its mechanical feel. Every surface, hole and moving part has a job, and each one is made to fit properly.

“Hi, just wanted to let you know my two Titanium pens have arrived. Worth waiting for... You can probably hear me scream of delight all the way from Sweden! Marvelous pen! I expected it to be a bit larger but the size is just perfect! Just wow! Thanks a lot, and to impossible high standards!”

“Your ‘One’ pen is small enough to fit in my credentials holder, but large enough to be comfortable to use.”

“...proven to be a similarly vital component of my EDC loadout. I work in an office in an environment (Air Force Base) that requires me to carry and display my credentials throughout the day; I use a semi-custom badge/ID holder for this. This holder has a couple of pockets (slots, really) to accommodate small items; one of the things I like to have on my person at all times is a pen. Most small pens are made of inferior materials and use cartridges that are less than ideal. Your ‘One’ pen is small enough to fit in my credentials holder (but large enough to be comfortable to use), is constructed of top-notch materials, and uses one of my very favorite refills. Obviously the fit & finish on your stuff is miles beyond the competition…I’ve been carrying and using the pen for a couple of years and it still looks pristine.”

“It is light and well balanced. The attention to detail is evident, from the grip to the perfectly functioning click mechanism. If someone is looking for the perfect writing tool — they need to get this pen.”

“This pen is truly a functional work of art. I enjoy it when I look at it, and even more when I write with it.”
Read full review

“I just wanted to drop a quick note to rave about my The One Click Pen. To start I love pens and I like having nice writing instruments around. My passion started with 20 to 30 dollar pens but was always left thinking there could be more. Then I finally stepped up to a 100 dollar pen and it was great but the inside mechanism repeatedly failed. I did some research online and found The One Click Pen made entirely out of titanium. My first thought was dude you have spent a 100 dollars before and was left wanting a better experience are you sure you are ready to go up to the 180 dollar mark to try to find that one pen (no pun intended) that will make you confident in your purchase. Well after using the one pen a I can say this pen is truly a functional work of art. I enjoy this pen when I am looking at it in its upright stand and I even more enjoy this pen when I write with it. I want to thank you for making a product that meets my incredibly high standards. The experience was even more complimented by a great customer service experience, they answered my questions quickly and were knowledgably. I will definitely buy future products.”
