The sound of a permanent marker used on cardboard makes my teeth itch. I know it’s not a texture but I can sure feel it.

Yea, same. It's the granularity of the micro-roughness in both materials that does it for me. Same as brushed metal

Same! It’s lessened over the years, but there’s still something about that sound that makes my teeth itch. The absolute worst were those huge permanent markers with metal bodies that smelled like chemical warfare.
