Nice gliding pens
on June 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are now in my top three favorites! They write so smooth glide effortlessly across the paper and the color is fantastic. They are comfortable in the hand too which is also a big deal.

Great Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I absolutely love these ProGel pens! They write incredibly smooth and have a very comfortable ergonomic grip. I write down a lot of notes for work and have had issues with other pens smearing in the past. These ProGels dry very quickly and I’ve had no smearing issues at all! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality pen!

No Smudge Ink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these pens! They write smoothly and don't smudge which is a big plus for me because I hate having ink on my hands but love gel pens. The pens have comfortable grip and are easy to hold and use. The fine 0.7mm point makes writing precise and easy. I prefer a smaller point which can be hard to find but these were perfect. I had a few laying on my desk and my kids took a few and enjoyed using them as well. Overall they're very user-friendly and perfect for detailed work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love writing with this pen. Everything about it is satisfying the grip the click the fine point the ink. No bleed and the perfect tip. Even the shade of red is exactly my preference. I would absolutely purchase these in other inks!

Best Pen Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great retractable gel pen! It glides over any paper you are writing on without the messy ink blobs you get from other brands. The ink dries almost instantly! The grip is so comfortable I could write for hours! I would recommend this bold retractable gel pen to everyone!

The perfect lefty pen exists
on June 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a teacher so I’m using pens pretty much all day—grading planning notes—and the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens have quickly become my absolute favorite. I first used one at a work conference and every time someone borrowed it they asked where they could get one. That kind of reaction says a lot! The bold line is smooth sharp and just looks great on the page. What really impressed me is how consistent the ink is—no skipping at all—which is huge for me since I’m left-handed. These pens made it through grading multiple final projects without any issues. Plus the ink dries fast so no annoying smudges on my hand while I’m writing. They’re super comfortable too—the ergonomic grip feels just right so even when I’m writing for a long time my hand doesn’t get tired or cramp up. Honestly these pens have totally replaced all my old favorites. If you’re picky about your pens or just need something reliable for heavy use give these a try—you won’t regret it.

Great Replacement for Pilot G2 Pens
on June 16, 2025
Posted by: A.E.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens look feel and write just as good (if not better) than the Pilot G2 pens. Same fine point at 0.7mm smooth glide and ink responsiveness on paper (but at a more affordable price!). I like the comfort grip being more ergonomic than the Pilot version so if you need that extra contoured fit for your fingers this pen is for you. The red ink was also brighter compared to others—like a bright red lipstick so just stands out better IMO. Overall worth a try if you need a substitute for or just don’t want to spend more. Great job Staples!

Smooth Writing
on June 16, 2025

from Plover
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like that these gel retractable pens give you a nice smooth stroke. I found that they don’t bleed through or smear like other gel pens. These give a nice blue color. I found these to be one of the best gel pens I have used in a long time. And they are easy to have in the office and also in my purse. I also really appreciate the cushion so that my fingers can write in comfort.
