In love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of these gel pens was impressed! I was a little hesitant to try them because I am very picky with my pens. I am a firm believer that certain pens can change handwriting. I can never write nice with the cheap pens. So these passed my test! I like that the comfort grip is cushioned and that they do not smear. I usually like pilot or acroball pens and these in comparison do not smear as much. It is quick drying compared to the others I like. I definitely will purchase after these run out as I genuinely enjoy them!

The pen was more than I expected
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: R.A.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got the staples gel pens I thought they were not going to meet my expectations. The packet came with plenty of pens for at home office and to have some in my purse. At a glance it looks like a simple pen...however once you start using it you will fall in love with them. They are so light and easy to write with. I got the blue ink pro gel pens and the color is so rich and vibrant. The ink dries of pretty fast compared to other pens. I have used my pen for some time and the ink seems to last longer. I tend to lose pens but I will be taking care of this one !!!

A New Staple for Smooth Writing
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: jsoles
from Washington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When given the option I tend to go for gel pens with the click-to-write/retractable feature. (I hate pen caps - they get lost or I break them while fidgeting.) They're my go-to choice despite having a variety of other pens scattered throughout my desk. The Staples ProGel Pen is as good or better than other gel pens I've used. Initially it felt lighter than expected which gave me pause but as soon as I started writing any concerns about its weight vanished. It's comfortable and smooth. This pen will be my new staple. Pros: Writes smoothly dries almost instantly doesn't bleed through paper comfortable grip. Cons: None?

Not bad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impression standard package average gel pen. The pen has a retractable feature and writes with a smooth finish and dries evenly. The pen provides a comfortable grip with a rubber/silicone grip holder. It would be my everyday pen if it was a little thinner. It’s perfect for everyday use or for legal documents. I personally prefer thinner pens for journaling and writing. I also thought the drying time is comparable to other pens so I don’t think it stands out. I am always on the hunt for a good quality pen with a good price point. Thank you Stellar Testing Products Panel for the opportunity to test this product and provide my honest feedback!

My new favorite pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: J.K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very impressed with the Staples gel pens. I work in an office full-time and gel pens are the most commonly used instrument for me. I also use highlighters a lot so it’s important to me that the gel pen dries quickly so that when I highlight the ink does not smear. These pens really impress me with their drying time and nice crisp lines. They write super smoothly and they are very comfortable to write with. These pounds will become a new staple in my office. I also told my coworkers about these and they love them as well.

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

from Grand Chute
[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!
