Pleasantly surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a pen nerd and definitely have my favorite brands. What I was expecting from the Staples ProGel was just a basic adequate pen. I was really surprised by everything about it from the cushioning to the smoothness of the writing experience. I tend to hold my pens a bit oddly and a bit too tightly which leads to a lot of hand fatigue. The cushioned area is firm with grooved flat spots that I find much more comfortable than the soft squishy padding of my previously preferred pen. And it writes so smoothly. The ink dried extremely quickly too. Instantly really on regular paper. And even on shiny paper it dries in just 5 or 6 seconds. I will definitely be reaching for these over my other pens from now on.

Writes smoothly and dries fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these pens. They write very smoothly and they dry fast enough to not smear as I write (though I can't speak for my poor left-handed brethren; I'm a righty). It is pretty comfortable to hold too at least for short times. I could imagine it eventually getting sore if you're writing pages and pages but I'm mostly just signing checks or writing notes to myself these days.

Great dupe for my favorite pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: J.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very particular about my pens and always grab the same brand because I know I like them. These pens are a great dupe. Being clickable and gel are a must for me. It writes very smooth! I will say my normal brand seems to glide better but still impressed with the smoothness of the writing. However my favorite part of this pen is how fast it dries! My biggest issue is always having ink on my pinky from writing. These pens dry quick enough that I don’t really have that issue! I think they are definitely worth giving a them a try!

High quality and Quick drying
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am forever losing my favorite pens or they get stolen by friends or family members so I tend to not buy high quality pens since they don’t last. I was happy to share these with the family! The ink flowed smoothly and dried so quickly. My left-handed child commented they didn’t smear as he wrote. Would definitely buy these in the future!

Solid blue pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: S.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen worked really well with fluid ink and a quick dry time. I like the size of the ball and it is super smooth to write with. The blue color is vibrant and way more fun than black! Comfortable to hold and easy to store since it retractable. I would recommend this pen to anyone looking for a solid blue pen with no frills

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are my new favorite. They write nice and smooth and the ink dries pretty fast. There is no smudge at all! Compared to other pens these pens makes writing easy because the pen flows much easier. I highly recommend these pens!!

Nice and Smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been firmly committed to a specific type of erasable gel pen and use it for virtually everything these days because it’s clean erasable and just works fairly well. With that in mind I wasn’t sure about trying a new pen because well…if it isn’t broke don’t fix it! That being said this pen is great!! It writes SOO smoothly and dries pretty darn fast like if you write a short word the ink is going to be dry by the time you finish writing that word so you won’t smudge as you go from word to word or line to line! The pen is comfortable to hold it has a nice contoured and cushioned grip. I think overall my favorite part about this pen would have to be how smoothly it writes. I feel like there are a lot of gel pens that do not write smoothly at and that is definitely not this pen. It is not reminiscent of the gel pens of my youth (I’m sorry gel pens I don’t like saying it because your metallic colors and marble-y colors were great but many of your gliding abilities were less than stellar). If there was an erasable version of this pen I might be in heaven (I’ve been told I can be dramatic) but as it turns out sometimes you need a non-erasable pen and this pen is it. This pen is what you need!!

Staples ProGel Pen is Amazing
on March 21, 2024

from Monument
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this pen so much! Even though I'm on a computer for quite a bit of the day I'm often on meetings where I take notes. This pen has become my go-to because of the comfort of writing with it the ease with which it glides across the paper and how quickly it dries. I have lots of other gel pens from other companies and this one is by far the best. I am going to go get any other colors available.
