The proto Aluminum Clickstream is 'unfinished' straight off the machining center for those who love a machined pen look. It's not polished or refined so when viewed at certain angles with reflections the subtle machining patterns are visible. Aluminum is a relatively soft metal, so this pen will readily develop scuffs and scratches to add to the raw finish.

Refill:
Clickstream accepts 'Parker Style' refills. The proto Aluminum Clickstream ships with a Schmidt Easyflow 9000M Blue refill.
Please note the Clickstream includes a white washer at the base of where the spring meets the refill. Please keep and reuse this part. This washer serves as a diameter expander to stabilize the refill. It was designed this way to allow for additional refill options (see below).
For those who like to 'hack' refills, Clickstream will accept some trimmed gel refills:
-Length Trimmed Pilot G2 Gel and Pilot Precise V5/V7 refills will be the best as it has the same tip diameter as Parker Style refills, but Pilot G2 will need a new spring (available February)
-Length Trimmed typical Uni, EnerGel, Sharpie S refills will fit and operate with the existing springs... the smaller tip diameters of these refills can produce some tip wiggle depending on your writing style
Note: Due to supply issues, we have discontinued including the high and low force spring pack with each pen. The pen includes our 'standard force' click spring.
