Specifically, I have a four color ball point version. You don't twist it, you just hold it so the color you want is facing up. I replaced the green cartridge with a Lamy stylus refill.

I think it's got a really nice, clean design, and is one of the best looking multi-color ballpoint pens out there. It looks modern, despite having actually been designed in 1966.

The tip is grey rather than the bright orange that some of the others are, but personally I do prefer that.
A bit OT but I carry and use a Lamy 2000 Fountain pen and it is brilliant. Actually it is my third one. Lost one in a taxi (I think). The second one broke so knowing Lamy have a lifetime warranty I called the place I got it from and they said sure, bring it in. I took it in, they sent it to the local NZ Lamy agents. They couldn't fix it so they sent it back to Germany. A few weeks later I get back a brand new pen since they couldn't fix the original. They didn't charge me anything but a few buck handling fee which I was happy to pay. Just have to remember NOT to use the fountain pen on the screen. That would be very bad! Putting a stylus tip in the 4 colour Lamy is a brilliant idea though!
