Okay Pen
on May 5, 2025

from Heath
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that this pen would be very good for someone who likes extra fine pens. The ink comes out smoothly. In fact it comes out very fast. My penmanship looked horrible with this pen because I can't write this fast and need a 1.0mm type of pen. It doesn't drag or get stuck in the paper. I never felt like I was going to rip thru the paper like you do with some other extra fine pens that feel like writing with a needle. So overall if you like extra fine pens and can write well quickly this pen will work well for you!

Fine and smudge free

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These gel pens work really well. The blue color comes out strong and they don’t seem to smear or smudge as I’m writing. I’ve used them to write notes and in my calendar and they don’t bleed through which is very appreciated. There were a few pens in the box that didn’t come out as bold as others when first using but overall very satisfied with these gel pens due to the bold color and fine tip. Great for writing in small spaces. Definitely recommend!

Great fine pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel retractable gel pens were fantastic and great to use! I love the fine print and its gel was actually very fast to dry so I never had any smears. The retractable functions of the pens are very smooth never have an issue so far of the pens not coming out or retracting. The pens also has a clip that you can clip the pen onto papers shirt or pants pockets or the front of a polo shirt. Overall a great pen to use!

Absolutely Love
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: C.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these Staples blue gel pens—they write so smoothly and feel great in your hand even after long writing sessions. The ink flows evenly with no skipping or smudging and the grip is soft and comfortable without being bulky. They’ve become my go-to for everything from notes to journaling and honestly I get a little protective when someone tries to borrow one. Highly recommend!

Eventually great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a nice gel feel these will eventually get you there. However it can take some time before the gel flows smoothly. I had to write several notes before they started to behave like gel pins. At first they were very scratchy and the ink was faint. There is lots of ink though so there will be ample opportunity for smooth gel writing which is very bright and bold if you can handle some breaking in time.

Good pen
on May 6, 2025
Posted by: K.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of the pen.. it is a good pen. The quality is great very sturdy. I love the ergonomic feature it has. I suffer with carpal tunnel and I work in an office setting so having some relief with a pen I use daily throughout the day is so nice. However the ink boldness I did not like. It’s so light I wish it would have been darker. It’s hard to see what I write which is a bummer. I love the fine point to the pen. Had the ink boldness have been darker it would’ve been a solid go to. I did notice that the ink would splatter once I started writing something. I don’t know if it was a bad batch? I hope to try it again in the future and hope to see the flaws corrected.

No ink
on May 10, 2025

from Manila
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great - except that they fail to fulfill the primary role of a pen - which is to write. Pros - these pens are so comfortable and have the best grip I’ve ever used. When I got the first one out of the box I was impressed. Cons - once I started writing it was immediately apparent that the ink was having a hard time flowing. It happens with pens when they’re brand new so I stuck it out thinking that this would work itself out. It didn’t. The ink flow was maybe 40% of what I would have expected. Even after writing for 2-3 days in my journal no improvement. I attempted to write with 2 additional pens from the box with the same issues. I gave up. Bottom line - if the ink cartridge issue was fixed these would be great. 👍
