I have good quality integrated pen. No mechanical spring, no button. Just like smartphone. Everything is glued together. Two pieces only: pen and cover only.

(no you can't replace the ink when it's empty. throw the whole pen away and buy a new one. but is ok, as it costs 0.30€ in total each.)

Let's be honest, most plastic pens don't actually ever run out of ink.

Good for you :)

But the vast majority of plastic pens just dry up, get lost, broken, etc. Most people just aren't using pens on such a frequent and regular basis any more
