Hi everyone, as the title says, I'm looking to purchase Magnus ClickShift V4. Purchasing just a single pen would be out of budget for me. However, with the current offer Magnus has of getting $200 off the second pen, the numbers work out. A single pen, after all the taxes, duties, and conversion here in Ontario, Canada, should come out to ~$478 CAD, but buying 2 pens brings the cost of each pen down to ~$280 CAD. So I'm just trying to see if anyone is interested in ordering a pen with me. Ideally, you'd be located in Canada, but if you're from the US and interested and have experience getting shipments from Canada, I'll be okay with that as well. I'm thinking I can order the pen, then after it arrives, I'll send you all the receipts and pictures, and then you can pay me via e-transfer if you're in Canada or PayPal FF, if you’re not. If you want to order the 2 pens and then I pay you after they arrive, that works for me as well. So if anyone is interested, we can work something out. Please leave a comment and then DM to discuss things further.

Also if anyone has a ClickShift V4 that they don't want I'm open to buying one used as well. I'm ideally looking for a plain, none of the fancy stuff.

Hi everyone, hoping to get a bit of wisdom and advice from you all for my next potential purchase. I am trying to decide between the Tactile turn switch or a Magnus ClickShift v4. Right now, with the offer Magnus has (buy a pen get $200 USD off the second) if I get 2 pens after it's all said and done, I think it’ll cost me about ~$300-340 CAD for the ClickShift (assuming someone is willing to buy the second pen I get). Or I can get the TT slim switch short from a local dealer for ~$240 CAD, so not too massive of a price difference. So I just wanted to know how they stack up against each other and if the ClickShift is significantly better. How is the tip wiggle between both? How smooth is the mechanism on each? And all the other things we pen nerds care about? So if you have both or have tried both and can share any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Edit did the math: The ClickShift should cost about $280 CAD after all duties and taxes are paid and then assuming I can sell the second pen after shipping is factored I think I should be around $300 CAD for it.

Hi everyone, as the title says, I wanted to ask if your pen has rattle issues. I just got my TIJ L and love the no-tip wiggle; however, I have noticed pen rattle both when the mechanism is engaged or disengaged, which has been bothering me a lot. If any of you have the same issue, were you able to fix it?

Also, I would like to disassemble the pen and see if adding tape or something around certain parts would help as they seem to be a bit loose in the body at least on my pen. So if anyone knows how to fully disassemble all the parts of the pen (remove the clip portion) and could share any tips, I would appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone from Canada (Toronto, Ontario) has experience with ordering a pen from TIJ. They’re based in Taiwan, and I really want to get one of their pens so I don't have to deal with tip wiggle. However, my main concern is getting an expensive tax/duty bill from customs, which could be upwards of half the value of the pen (I've read some horror stories about DHL Express, which they use). So if anyone has ordered from them or could share their experience, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Edit: I figured out a solution/work around for me. Thank you everyone.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix the problem I am having. While using my MBP, I don't get any haptic buzz on my Apple Watch regarding messages. Notifications for messages on my MBP are turned off, and the Message app is fully quit and not active. Is there any way to fix this issue and still get notifications on my Apple Watch while using my MBP?

I don't want to turn off the ability to get messages on my MBP as sometimes I get authentication codes which autofill and sometimes I like using my MBP to text. However, most of the time, the Message app is never open, and notifications are always off on my MBP. I understand the part where Apple’s notification protocol assumes I'm "active" on my MBP and it doesn't notify any other device, but shouldn't it be able to tell notifications for that app are off the active device and then to check the other devices to see if it can fire off a notification there? Anyhoo, super frustrated with the issue and would greatly appreciate it if anyone has a fix. Thank you!

Edit: I figured it out, thank you to anyone who replied.
