The Dark Mod Zero is a personal mod made by spinner Orctupus YouTube. Its soft-gripped body, similar to the Papermate Flexgrip Ultra, provides a secure grip while still allowing smooth movement. This balance offers more control than the hard plastic finishes found on many pens and markers.

Text tutorial
- Disassemble the Pentel Energel Kuro pens by unscrewing the tips (Set aside), removing the metal ring, ink-tube, breaking the clip, and popping out the back of the retractable clicker mechanism through the lower square hole leaving only the bodies.
- Measure and cut the Pentel Energel Kuro bodies 1 cm from the back of the pen (the clicker-mechanism side) using a utility knife or pipe cutter. Once both bodies are cut, set them aside.
- Disassemble the Papermate Officemate removing the front plug and ink-tube leaving only the barrel.
- Measure and cut the Papermate Officemate barrel 3.2 cm from the front of the pen (Set aside).
- Disassemble the TUL Ballpoint Retractable pens removing the front tip, metal ring, ink-tube, and set aside the Grips.
- Disassemble the Pilot G2 pens removing only the grips and set aside
- Cut 2x 8-Sections of Grip from two of the Dong-a Anyball grips. Set aside.
- Cut 2x 4-Sections of Grip from one of the Dong-a Anyball grip. Set aside
- Stretch the Pilot G2 Grips using pliers. Set aside.
- Wrap 2x the 9/32 - 5/16th Screw-in Target Point tips with Painters Tape or Paper Tape around the base until they can be placed snug into the Pentel Energel Kuro front barrel (threaded side).
- Place the Pentel Energel Kuro tips loosely over the 9/32 - 5/16th Screw-in Target Point tips and then push the TUL Ballpoint Retractable grip over both the tips and onto the barrel. (there will be a slight bump on the inner 1/3rd of the TUL grip.)
- Stretch the Pilot G2 Grip up and over the TUL Ballpoint Retractable Grip with the G2 rings facing outwards till the Pentel Energel Kuro tip is only seen about 2-3mm and there is 2-3mm of the TUL grip showing on the other side.
- Place the 2x 8-Sections of Dong-a Anyball grips on the other side of each Pentel Energel Kuro barrel. You want to have a flat section facing inwards vs the smooth thinner end on the inside. Slide it up against the Pilot G2 Grip.
- Place the 2x 4-Sections of Dong-a Anyball grips on the ring side of the Pilot G2 grip on each side.
- Use the Papermate Officemate 3.2cm cut body section to join the Pentel Energel Kuro Barrels and then put both sides together press-fit over the officemate section.
