Triangular shaped pens are not something that I tend to associate with ergonomic designs. Writing instruments with this label usually fall into 2 categories.

Uni Shalaku M5-228 0.5mm – Review
Although Uniball don’t have a wide range of mechanical pencils they do have something a little different in the Shalaku which has a clickable button on the side to advance the lead.
