Love these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Five Stars! These gel pens are so smooth—it’s like writing with butter (but way less messy). I love using them to jot down cute little notes for my bestie—seriously they make everything look adorable. The ink flows perfectly no skipping and the colors pop just right. Definitely a must-have for anyone who loves adding a little flair to their handwriting!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great. They write very smooth and do not smudge. They feel nice in your hand. Writing is very sharp and bold. The fine point is perfect and easy to write with. I enjoy writing with these pens. I love it when I find the perfect pen and I think these are it. I would highly recommend these pens. I use them everyday at work.

Wanted to like these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens write smoothly with a clean precise line and the extra fine tip is great for detailed work. The blue ink starts out bold and vibrant but I noticed the color fades with continued use. I used them for journaling and work notes and they were comfortable and reliable overall. Best feature: the smooth precise writing—though ink consistency could be better.

ProGel Pens

from Pittsburgh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using these pens a few weeks ago. I WFH and take lots of notes for work. I have my drawer packed with these. Right out of the box they each come with a little rubber protective tip so ensure the ink won't dry out. As soon as you take it off the pen writes beautifully. It doesn't skip the fine point keeps writing neat and not messy the ink doesn't bleed through the paper and doesn't smudge. They are not at all expensive so you really do get a good writing utensil for cheap.

Feels like ballpoint

from Clearwater
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a notary I was looking forward to trying a new fine tip gel pen. However these staples ones disappointed. The reason I get gel is because they basically do the work for me where the ink simply glides and it relieves the pressure off of my wrists. These pens I have to press hard and feels dry like a ballpoint. The pen itself is sturdy and comfortable to hold.

Eventually great

from Nine Mile Falls
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a nice gel feel these will eventually get you there. However it can take some time before the gel flows smoothly. I had to write several notes before they started to behave like gel pins. At first they were very scratchy and the ink was faint. There is lots of ink though so there will be ample opportunity for smooth gel writing which is very bright and bold if you can handle some breaking in time.

Get These Pens

from Deer Park
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are a dream! I’m usually a chunky pen type of gal so I was a little hesitant about the fine tip. But these blew me away! They glide on the paper so easily they don’t smudge they have a comfortable grip and don’t randomly run out of ink mid-writing like some other pens. The fine tip has actually been really helpful when I’ve needed to write clearly in small spaces. Also this is probably not a selling point for most but the click sound is extremely satisfying! My husband has even stolen a few of these pens for work because he likes them so much. Highly recommended!

Smooth and Dry
on May 8, 2025
Posted by: A.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ProGel pen writes super smoothly and the ink dries almost instantly—no smudges at all even for lefties. The triangle-shaped grip is comfy and makes it easy to hold for long writing sessions. Definitely a solid pick if you like clean easy writing.
