In love
on May 13, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved using this pen. The grip was so comfortable. I was writing a lot with it today and it felt perfect. I had a student comment on how it was a good pen too. Because of the extra fine gel ink. I also noticed no transfer. When I use pens I hate them transferring to my fingers and then getting to my clothes or other paperwork that I have to work on. Overall a great pen having a great performance with great ink and also comfortable for those of us who write a lot but even if you don't this ink did not transfer so I would 100% recommend it.

Perfect for planners

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of this pen was wonderful. I really like the fine point of these pens. I use them daily at work and I also use them daily in my planners. One of the things that I liked most about this pen in particular was that it dried very quickly. And that way there was no smudging. I had the black color pens and I can't wait to purchase some different colors as well.

Good at first

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holding the pens is comfortable. Writing with the pens is good at first. They start off gliding well and writing smoothly. My biggest complaint is that after writing for a bit the pen's writing visibility starts to deteriorate. It begins to write as if it were running out of ink.

Lovely Gel pen
on May 11, 2025

from Phoenix
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens are a nice weight and the click is satisfyingly loud. The ink itself flows well allowing for writing. I used it draw some line art and it worked well no major issues with continuity. They did bleed some through the paper and I tried them on different weights of paper. I'd love it if they didn't bleed at all but I'll just have to keep that in mind as I use them.

Smooth writing
on May 11, 2025

from Scottdale
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with my new Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Extra Fine Point 0.5mm Blue Ink. They write very smooth and I love the extra fine point of the pen. They do not leave any wet ink which is nice. They also have a great grip. However I have had a problem with the ink not flowing out of the pen. It seems like it dries up very fast or is not flowing correctly. If this problem is fixed I’d give them 5 stars.

Glides easily with no smudge
on May 11, 2025

from Arlington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I thought this pen was easy to hold with a triangle ribbed grip and the gel glides easily onto the paper. The gel dried instantly with no risk of smudging which is really important to me. I thought the fine point allowed me to write small notes but they were still clearly legible. I tend to write more holding the pen up and down but when my hand would get tired and the pen was more angled the gel would appear as it was running low which is not ideal. I am really happy with the color the size of the fine point and how comfortable it was to hold. Great pen!

Good pack of pens

from Folsom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I had a mixed experience with these pens. I love the large pack I am always losing pens so it is nice to have lots on hand. The pens are comfortable to hold. I really liked the extra fine point it was great for sketching. However for some reason when it came to regular writing I did encounter some issues. On occasion the ink didn’t flow as smoothly as expected. What I liked most about these pens was the precision they offered when sketching. For fine details they were great but I did wish for a more consistent ink flow for everyday writing tasks.
