Cheap junk you get what you pay for
on September 18, 2025
Posted by: JACOB B.
Cheap is never good and good is never cheap. While they are Smooth and draw crisp lines the plastic is garbage and the pocket clips broke off every pen in my pack. One of my biggest pet peeves with any retractable pen is the ability Tto stay where i clip it in my shirt junk quality pen plastic

Smooth Ink Flow with Comfortable Grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pen had a smooth run of ink flowing as you write leaving all letters the same depth of ink and darkness. The grip made it comfortable in your hand and has a no slip aspect to the rubber. As with most gel pens they can smudge after writing this was not the case. The ink seemed to dry quickly. I enjoyed using this pen and will happily continue to do so.

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!

Nice pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Staples ProGel Pen. The blue color is bright and vibrant. The ink comes out smoothly and feels good. It feels great on the hand and when you're writing it's seamless. No stops and starts just perfectly formed letters. It dries quickly but if you immediately go back and wipe it will smudge. You have to give it at least a couple seconds to dry. It doesn't take a crazy amount of pressure to eject the pen from the barrel. At first there's a little red stopped ball on the end so you either write it off or pull it off. My husband writes a lot at work and has many pens and this is his favorite so that's really saying something. It's normally the only pen he takes now and he's scared to death someone will see it and steal it or use it and steal it. He likes to keep his own to prevent the spread of germs though. Since he's been bringing his own pen he hasn't been sick near as much. The grip feels nice in your hand and molds to you. The tip size is Fine point 0.7 mm. I would definitely recommend this pen. It's my favorite right now too.

Love this pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am VERY picky about my pens. Up until now I only used a very specific brand of gel pen and could not find one I liked as much. The Staples ProGel Pen has converted me. The grip is comfortable. Instead of a standard round grip it is a slight triangle shaped grip. This is comfortable on my hand. The triangle is not so pronounced that it digs in anywhere. The pen writes very smoothly and glides over paper nicely . The ink lines are not too thin and not too thick. The ink disperses evenly throughout use. Overall I am very happy with this pen. I do a lot of writing on a daily basis and am happy to use this pen long term The ink dries incredible quickly - I was unable to smear the ink even almost immediately after writing.

Smooth operator
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is great for daily writing. It had super fast drying time and had a very smooth ink flow. I loved the gripper padding that made extended writing very comfortable. It did have a medium point and you must be careful not to get the ink wet to prevent smearing. Overall very good quality pen.

ProGel pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel pen is a smooth writing fast drying gel pen. I loved the way it feels as you are writing with it. It’s easy to hold with the cushioned bottom and glides smoothly across the paper no matter if you are printing or quickly scratching out a note or grocery list. The finer point and quick drying ink makes for a neat looking finished product. I especially liked how you could write a lengthy note without your hands getting fatigued.
