Pen Modifications / A complete noob's attempted review of the RSVP LHS MX

Date: Thu, Jun 18 2009 01:29:26
After a bit of searching through the forums, I could only find TWO threads mentioning this pen at all and no reviews. I'm also wondering if this thread should be in this forum or the regular pens forum, so mods, please move/delete if necessary ^^.

Being as new as I am, I couldn't possibly tell you how well it does or does not spin compared to other mods. This is mostly because I don't own any other mods XD. However, I can tell you that I absolutely love this pen, partly because it's my first modded pen, and also because it has aesthetic appeal.
You must note that the second picture is TOTALLY SHOPPED. I can already tell you that you WILL be disappointed at the brightness of the glow. At least, my pen does not glow bright enough to light up the space around it. Not even after I held it up against a lamp to charge it up. However, you CAN still see it in the dark, and this does give enough entertainment for a cute novelty.
Aside from the slightly lacking luminosity, I must say I've fallen in love with how it looks. It might seem a bit long at first, but I've read this somewhere on the forum:
"It's a general rule of thumb that the ideal pen length is from the tip of your middle finger, down to your wrist."
This pen only reaches about 0.5cm further than my wrist, so for me, it seems to be about the right length.
Some other stuff:
The COG is not exactly in the middle. I reckon it's about 10.55cm down from the top (by which I mean, the back of the pen). I'm sure that's normal for an RSVP.
The cap was very, VERY loose and it would separate from the pen so easily, I found my pen flying around the room if I so much as attempted an infinity. I quickly fixed this with a strip of a post-it note laying around my desk. I put it on the inside of the cap to make it a tighter fit. The pen also had a bad bend. Well, the barrel wasn't bent or anything, but the cap and the body connected at such an odd angle that the pen wouldn't actually roll across a table, so much as wobble across it. Luckily, this was also fixed with my quick post-it fix. Well, almost. There is still a small, tiny wobble, but it's not like I'm pro enough to notice it while I'm spinning it.
All in all, I think it's a great pen. I think everyone should have one because I'm sure the small faults it had were just me having bad luck and receiving a faulty pen. You should also get one just for the sake of having a glow in the dark pen XD. Please let me know what you thought of my review, and help me fix it if I did anything wrong =P.

I believe Mr. LSC uses a UV lamp to obtain that brightness. Overall, this is a pretty good review, looks like you took some time with this.
COP means Center of Pen. COG (Center of Gravity) or COB (Center of Balance) is what you probably want to put. -

Great review. I have a HSMX so I could relate to some of the things you were saying.
How about posting how it spins like etc.
I couldn't get the brightness with my PDS luminous comssa too. I don't know if a UV lamp does make it any better. -

nice review
although you didn't put much on the spinnability (most mods are more of less spinable...)
commenting on the quality and the luminosity was good
i needed some information on it to see if i wanted it... -

Thanks for the comments guys ^^.
@CPM8: I'll fix that into COG right after this post =P
@Glamouraz: I'd love to fill you guys in on how it spins, but being the incredible newbie I am, I really lack the skills to tell you if this pen spins well or not. I don't know enough tricks and also, I don't have other pens to compare it with. However, I CAN tell you that the ball at the back of the pen makes Inifity's infinitely easier XD.
Btw, I also received my RSVP LHS MX Megawatt Black today. It IS slightly different compared to the Luminos Sky. The dimensions are a bit different and overall quality is MUCH more pleasing. Should I write another review for that one?
