[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pen. Easy and smooth write. Ink comes out evenly. Slick design. Thanks for the silicon grib the pen feels really on your hand when starting to write.

Engineered for comfort
on June 18, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mechanical designer spending long hours between sketching ideas, taking notes during design reviews, and making quick calculations, a reliable and ergonomic pen matters. The Pilot Dr. Grip Limited Gel 0.7mm has become a quiet MVP at my desk—and here’s why it’s CAD-team approved.
✅ Why It Works for CAD Professionals:
Ergonomics Built for Long Sessions:
The cushioned, wide barrel minimizes finger fatigue and wrist strain. During 2–3 hour design meetings or late-night spec markups, it performs without cramping up your hand.

Precision + Smooth Ink Flow:
The 0.7mm gel tip is just the right width for annotations and layout sketches—not too thick, not too scratchy. Lines are clean and dark, which helps when scanning notes or marking up prints.

Refillable with Multiple Ink Options:
Accepts standard Pilot G2 refills and also fits EnerGel or Sarasa refills if you prefer quicker dry time or finer lines. A plus for team members who write fast or are left-handed.

Professional Look, Tough Build:
While the body is plastic, it’s solidly built with metal accents. It’s not flashy, but it won’t crack in a tool bag or feel cheap in a conference room.

What to Consider:
Gel ink can smear if you’re moving fast or using glossy paper. Swap to EnerGel for faster drying if that’s a concern.
It's not a full metal pen—if your team prefers the feel of something like the Rotring 600, this may feel too light.

Good pen for everyday use
on June 19, 2025
Posted by: bellusvesper_9282
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the fashion color that the pen came in. The grip was comfortable for writing with and kept the pen from slipping. I tend to prefer a narrower barrel, but I can see myself reaching for this pen. The tip was fine enough for smaller writing to still be legible. The ink is a lovely deep black, although there is a tiny bit of skipping to the ink flow. Unfortunately, it didn't pass the smudge test at all.

Comfort is a 100% compared to other pens. I write in cursive and this pen seems to write well. Overall I love the comfort and the pink color of this pen.

Comfortable pen
on June 21, 2025
Posted by: sama109_5133
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is incredibly smooth to write with. Pen itself is on the lighter side, with a very comfortable soft grip and larger barrel to lessen fatigue from writing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was actually really impressed with this pen. You don’t need to put pressure when writing and it just glides so easily. I also loved the grip of it since it’s really soft to hold.
