Nice gliding pens
on June 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are now in my top three favorites! They write so smooth glide effortlessly across the paper and the color is fantastic. They are comfortable in the hand too which is also a big deal.

Super smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are incredibly smooth to write with. The .7 mm size is perfect for marking up documents or writing lists. The ink color is vibrant without being too bright a classic red. The pens appear to have a lot of ink so I expect they will last a long time. They’re easy to click on and off and the grip is comfortable. I’m a lefty and the ink really doesn’t smear either which is a huge bonus for me.

I like the way it feels when I hold it and the way it writes.

Picky about pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find that my handwriting changes depending on the pen and I like the way my handwriting looks when I use this one. There’s something about the way the ink flows and the tip glides across the page. In terms of comfort the ergonomic grip is nice and I prefer the finer point. I’m not sure why capped pens exist so it goes without saying I prefer a retractable tip. If you’re picky about pens (like I am) these are absolutely worth a try.

Smooth and functional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel pens with a 0.7mm point and was very pleased with their overall performance! The pen is very lightweight and comfortable to hold. It also has an ergonomic grip that is soft but still functional which helps reduce strain during longer periods of writing. I have the red ink pen and the ink is bold but still consistent; there is no skipping and no bleeding and dries immediately. I'll be purchasing the black ink version as well soon. It feels very smooth to write with and the ink feels like it is gliding similar to what a roller pen feels like. I personally feel that the 0.7 mm point is perfect for everyday use and is bold but not overwhelming like 1.0 mm points can be at times. I’ve tested it several times and the ink will not smear even when I try to make it smear which is rare for a bold ink pen. I tend to scribble in my notebooks and the ink doesn't bleed through which is a bonus. I do want to mention that I consider myself somewhat of a pen connoisseur and really appreciate a good pen. I have a few different pens that I keep on constant rotation depending on the task and a pen really has to meet the mark to get included into the rotation. That being said the Staples ProGel 0.7 mm did just that and I intend on adding the black ink version to my everyday rotation. Overall I was very impressed with these pens and find them ideal for every day use but can also see them being used for more time consuming tasks requiring extended periods of writing due to their comfort and functionality.

…I was looking for Pilot G-2 refills in red. You do not carry these so my only choice was to buy your Staples brand pkg of five pens.

Writes SO Smooth

from Freeport
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great! I love how smoothly they write without any misses or ink blotching happening. They glide beautifully over the paper. The red color is bold and clear. The pens are lightweight and feature an easy to grip design. A click on and off ensures there are no caps to be lost. Overall fantastic set of pens.

Great Red Pen

from Ypsilanti
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great exactly as you would expect. I have terrible handwriting so having a pen that flows well matters a lot. I love the way the pen glides not only is the color bold but the way it writes helps my handwriting flow better and look less like chicken scratch. The grip is comfortable and I can use them often and don't get an indent from griping too tightly. Highly recommend.
