Comfortable to Write With
on June 11, 2025
Posted by: Anna G
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens are high quality pens that are very comfortable to write with. The ink comes out easily although once in a while it will miss some ink when writing with it. The blue ink is bold in color and dries very quickly. Even rubbing the ink after using the pen right away it did not smudge at all. These pens are a great value for the price.

Great for lefties

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel 1.0 Pen really stands out—especially in vibrant blue. The color pops on the page and adds a nice touch of personality to everyday writing. The pen delivers a consistently smooth writing experience free from skipping or blotting resulting in clean and precise lines. The pen also has a quality look and feel. It’s sleek and well-balanced and the retractable feature works very well. I especially appreciate the comfortable rubber finger grip which makes long writing sessions much easier on the hand. The real test came when my husband—who is left-handed—used it. To our surprise the ink didn’t smudge at all. That’s a rare win for a gel pen and makes this one a great option for lefties too.

Great Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens. I got the Fine Point 0.7mm in red - and they write like a dream. It's my favorite pen to use. The color is great and the grip on the pen makes it easy to hold and is very comfortable. I like making lists and keeping track of notes during meetings rather than anything that is digitally generated so I'm always looking for great pens that hold well and are comfy to write with for extended periods. The fine point is just that and the ink doesn't leak out like some. It's smooth and easy to use and I'm a fan of these pens. Most fine point pens I've purchased have a top and the fact that these are retractable make them even better. Easy peasy - worth trying!

Great quality pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed with the quality of the these pens! I really like the bold point comfy grip and smooth flow of the ink. As an RN I am constantly writing in patients charts and or vital signs. If I am writing medications and vital signs while another nurse is doing CPR - I need a pen that works. I don’t have time for the ink to come and go. These pens are great quality and have held up well. I highly recommend and would certainly purchase again!

Works well good value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pen does everything you'd expect from a red gel pen. It writes almost identically compared to another red gel pen that I have but this pen is cheaper. It writes smoothly and the ink flows evenly. The color is a nice bright red. It writes well on regular paper surfaces but smears on some. But the ink writes well on all the surfaces I'd expect a gel pen to write on. The cushioned grip is nice and comfortable and the retractable style pen is great for me as I hate losing pen caps. I also like the transparent pen barrel which lets me easily see if the pen ink is running low.
