Never liked gel pens but I tried this pen in the store and loved it! Writes smooth no smears and ink doesn’t get everywhere.

I loved the feel of this pen and it wrote beautifully right from the moment I took the protective nib off. The problem came later when I picked it up to use it again and got ink all over my fingers from a leak in the barrel at the tip. Not sure what happened but it was very unsatisfactory. I've yet to try another one after disposing of this first disappointment.

I like the grippy coating it's a good diameter for holding comfortably for a long time they write smoothly and the ink doesn't smear. That's enough for me to be happy with a pen. I also like the colors.

First of all I'm a little bit of a stationary geek and I've tried a LOT of pens in my life but these pens really surprised me. They are as close to perfection as you can get. They are very comfortable to hold. The ink comes out smoothly - not too much but not too little either so it doesn't skip even when I write or sign really fast on purpose. The crazy thing is they make me automatically switch to my cursive mode and write really nicely even though I haven't written in cursive since high school. The only pens that can compare to these and are actually a tad better in my opinion are the TRU RED pens with the cap (instead of the retractable version). Those have a little bigger barrel and are more comfortable for my hand if I have to take notes for 2 hours straight like I used to in college. But the retractable pens are more convenient to keep on me. The TRU RED line of pens really amazed me and especially at this price point I think there are no competitors to these pens.

Love the click feature. Better than Sharpie thin tip. No cap.

On certain papers it writes thicker than my test paper in store
