My new favorite pens
on June 12, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the BEST! I was a little skeptical but after the first use I was hooked. They are the perfect thickness glide smoothly and are the right level of “juicy-ness.” They are comfortable in your hand and I love how easy it is to see how much ink you have left. I don’t want to use any other pens.

Great Red Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great exactly as you would expect. I have terrible handwriting so having a pen that flows well matters a lot. I love the way the pen glides not only is the color bold but the way it writes helps my handwriting flow better and look less like chicken scratch. The grip is comfortable and I can use them often and don't get an indent from griping too tightly. Highly recommend.

Great pens easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens worked very well! They were smooth to write with and the bold print made them stand out from other pens on my desk. I thought that they were very comfortable to write with whether it was a thank you note for my child’s teacher or a quick post-it note reminder for myself! Clickable pens are always my go-to making these a favorite of mine.

Great Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been pleasantly surprised by the Staples ProGel pen. For the past 20 years I’ve been a loyal customer of a different brand but having had a chance to test Staples’ version I’m seriously considering switching. For starters the quality of the ink on the page is as good as I’ve come to expect. It’s crisp clear and doesn’t smear as much when it gets wet. As for the build of the pen it’s quite sturdy. I like that the clip is firm and that it comes apart toward the bottom rather than in the middle (which keeps me from taking it apart incessantly!). At first I wasn’t entirely sure about the triangular grip but after a little practice I much prefer it over what I’ve been used to. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the price. It’s more affordable than what I’ve been using but the quality is the same if not better. For all these reasons I highly recommend giving this pen a try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Staples ProGel pens for the last few weeks. I am very impressed with the quality of these pens. I use them daily at work and at home. They are always a reliable! I love the smoothness of the gel. 10/10 would recommend these pens! Thanks so much to the stellar product testing panel for allowing me the opportunity to try out the Staples ProGel pens.

Ergonomic and Comfortable

from Brookfield
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm seriously impressed with these Staples ProGel Ret retractable gel pens! The 1.0mm bold point is awesome – it lays down a rich blue line that really stands out making my notes and anything I write super clear. They're incredibly comfortable to write with too. The ergonomic grip feels great in my hand so even during long writing sessions my hand doesn't get tired. But what I love most is how smooth the ink flows and how vibrant the blue color is. It just glides on the paper! Plus the retractable design is super convenient. These pens are definitely my new favorite for getting things down on paper.

Great Pen and Great Value
on June 11, 2025

from Rancho Santa Margarita
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impressions are everything and this value pen does not disappoint. Right away it fits ergonomically in your hand highlighted by the modestly angled rubber grip. It's not your typical circular grip and the hold is fantastic. I will say it's slightly... and I mean only slightly... larger than I would desire but my hand is on the average size for a male. The Red Ink is perfect for mark-ups and note taking and it stands out boldly. The 0.7mm tip is perfect for everyday writing although the ink (like all pens) takes a handful of seconds to dry. The pen glides on all surfaces and would recommend to anyone.
