My new favorite
on June 11, 2025
Posted by: KaylaI

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I really like this pen. The bold point made my writing stand out on the page yet still left clean consistent lines each and every time I use it. The ergonomic grip made writing with it rather comfortable and I found it easy to hold for long periods of time great if you're taking a lot of notes and have to hold a pen all day. I also really like that it's retractable no pen caps to fall off and ink get all over everything or you lose the cap. I will definitely be purchasing these pens again in the future.

Verified Purchase:Yes
…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

[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 for lefties

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel 1.0 Pen really stands out—especially in vibrant blue. The color pops on the page and adds a nice touch of personality to everyday writing. The pen delivers a consistently smooth writing experience free from skipping or blotting resulting in clean and precise lines. The pen also has a quality look and feel. It’s sleek and well-balanced and the retractable feature works very well. I especially appreciate the comfortable rubber finger grip which makes long writing sessions much easier on the hand. The real test came when my husband—who is left-handed—used it. To our surprise the ink didn’t smudge at all. That’s a rare win for a gel pen and makes this one a great option for lefties too.

Smooth and simple pen
on June 11, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great. I don’t always have the best penmanship but the smooth glide and bold point on this pen help to make my printing look a bit more neat than usual. The grip is comfortable at least for shorter writing sessions. I’d say the smooth flow of ink and the grip are my two favorite parts of this pen.

Picky about pens

from Philadelphia
[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 glide

[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!
