This is a great writing pen for a great price. This is the only one that people haven't complained about me ordering for them which means they like it as well. It is much more smooth writing than quite a few others in this category.
First used these at work was so impressed that I purchased a pack for home use. Just the right resistance to make my penmanship the best though handwritten notes may be a lost art/skill. Also the blue is very classy and good for indicating what is an original. My go to pen. Never use my expensive pens any longer.
I ordered these gel pens thinking they would be somewhat similar to the Pilot gel pens. Wrong! I don't like how they glide across the paper or should I say don't glide across the paper. When I hold the pen at a certain angle the pen does not write and skips. The ink sometimes blobs on the paper and then the side of my hand gets in the ink and smears on the paper. I also have to wipe off the tip of the pen because it starts to leak. This is my first time buying this pen and it will be my last! I'll stick to the name brand pens.
I personally like these pens but our department members who carry them in their pockets say they leak onto their clothing. I'll have to go back to the Pilot gel pens that cost more but don't leak.
