This is my first experience with the Tru Red brand. The pen size and texture are nice and comfortable. The gel ink IS pretty fast drying as advertised but I found that it feathers quite a bit on cheaper papers. And the 0.5mm is broader than my Pilot G2 0.7mm pens. I keep these pens in a cup on my desk for people to grab if they need a pen. They’re cheap enough that I don’t mind if I don’t get them back. Would really like a true 0.5mm.
Hard to start writing with the pen. Had to keep scribbling to get it working. Ink was also building up on the point. When it finally started working it was just OK
