Great Pen
on June 12, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been pleasantly surprised by the Staples ProGel pen. For the past 20 years I’ve been a loyal customer of a different brand but having had a chance to test Staples’ version I’m seriously considering switching. For starters the quality of the ink on the page is as good as I’ve come to expect. It’s crisp clear and doesn’t smear as much when it gets wet. As for the build of the pen it’s quite sturdy. I like that the clip is firm and that it comes apart toward the bottom rather than in the middle (which keeps me from taking it apart incessantly!). At first I wasn’t entirely sure about the triangular grip but after a little practice I much prefer it over what I’ve been used to. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the price. It’s more affordable than what I’ve been using but the quality is the same if not better. For all these reasons I highly recommend giving this pen a try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Staples ProGel pens for the last few weeks. I am very impressed with the quality of these pens. I use them daily at work and at home. They are always a reliable! I love the smoothness of the gel. 10/10 would recommend these pens! Thanks so much to the stellar product testing panel for allowing me the opportunity to try out the Staples ProGel pens.

Ergonomic and Comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm seriously impressed with these Staples ProGel Ret retractable gel pens! The 1.0mm bold point is awesome – it lays down a rich blue line that really stands out making my notes and anything I write super clear. They're incredibly comfortable to write with too. The ergonomic grip feels great in my hand so even during long writing sessions my hand doesn't get tired. But what I love most is how smooth the ink flows and how vibrant the blue color is. It just glides on the paper! Plus the retractable design is super convenient. These pens are definitely my new favorite for getting things down on paper.

Great Pen and Great Value
on June 11, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impressions are everything and this value pen does not disappoint. Right away it fits ergonomically in your hand highlighted by the modestly angled rubber grip. It's not your typical circular grip and the hold is fantastic. I will say it's slightly... and I mean only slightly... larger than I would desire but my hand is on the average size for a male. The Red Ink is perfect for mark-ups and note taking and it stands out boldly. The 0.7mm tip is perfect for everyday writing although the ink (like all pens) takes a handful of seconds to dry. The pen glides on all surfaces and would recommend to anyone.

Smooth and Easy

from Plymouth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens were easy to use with the ink flowing freely enough to make writing a breeze but not too juicy to leave splotches on my paper. Nice feeling in the hand with the rubber grip and pretty color.

Smooth glide

from Durham
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the pen that proves not all pens function the same. I generally believe that a pen is a pen but I was surprised at how noticable the difference is between this and my go-to basic pen. Smooth writing ergonomic and consistent flow. I'm now convinced I need to upgrade all my pens!

Theyre great til theyre not

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impression it’s your average gel pen; writes really well. Provided very smooth glides with plenty of ink. Then I thought I love this pen! I’m going to use it in the Father’s Day arts and crafts with my kids… it started to get patchy ink spots halfway I gasped! I had to give it good shake tried again didn’t work! I even licked the pen tip and still nothing! I had to find a fine lined pen in a jiffy to finish my project I was very sad about it. I loved the bold point I prefer a thicker bolder font as it is easier to read too! The bold point was my favorite part. The ergonomic grip is a great touch for those of us who prefer taking notes ’long hand’.
