Excellent Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love writing with this pen. Everything about it is satisfying the grip the click the fine point the ink. No bleed and the perfect tip. Even the shade of red is exactly my preference. I would absolutely purchase these in other inks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are now in my top three favorites! They write so smooth glide effortlessly across the paper and the color is fantastic. They are comfortable in the hand too which is also a big deal.

Great Replacement for Pilot G2 Pens
on June 16, 2025
Posted by: A.E.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens look feel and write just as good (if not better) than the Pilot G2 pens. Same fine point at 0.7mm smooth glide and ink responsiveness on paper (but at a more affordable price!). I like the comfort grip being more ergonomic than the Pilot version so if you need that extra contoured fit for your fingers this pen is for you. The red ink was also brighter compared to others—like a bright red lipstick so just stands out better IMO. Overall worth a try if you need a substitute for or just don’t want to spend more. Great job Staples!

The perfect lefty pen exists

from The Woodlands
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a teacher so I’m using pens pretty much all day—grading planning notes—and the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens have quickly become my absolute favorite. I first used one at a work conference and every time someone borrowed it they asked where they could get one. That kind of reaction says a lot! The bold line is smooth sharp and just looks great on the page. What really impressed me is how consistent the ink is—no skipping at all—which is huge for me since I’m left-handed. These pens made it through grading multiple final projects without any issues. Plus the ink dries fast so no annoying smudges on my hand while I’m writing. They’re super comfortable too—the ergonomic grip feels just right so even when I’m writing for a long time my hand doesn’t get tired or cramp up. Honestly these pens have totally replaced all my old favorites. If you’re picky about your pens or just need something reliable for heavy use give these a try—you won’t regret it.

Great Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I absolutely love these ProGel pens! They write incredibly smooth and have a very comfortable ergonomic grip. I write down a lot of notes for work and have had issues with other pens smearing in the past. These ProGels dry very quickly and I’ve had no smearing issues at all! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality pen!

Finally no smeering

from Dearborn Heights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this gel pen! The ink flows smoothly making it perfect for everything from journaling to signing documents. The bold tip works especially well with my large bubbly handwriting — it stays smooth and legible with no blobs or skipped lines. I'm right-handed but still struggle with ink smearing. This pen dries literally the moment it touches the paper! I work in the medical field and became super picky about my pens after writing chart after chart of patient notes. This one does not disappoint — it’s comfortable to use and holds up to long assignments. If you're someone who likes a pen that writes boldly and clearly then the Staples Pro Gel Bold point is a winner!

Smooth writing pen

from Tamaroa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Bold Point 1.0mm Black Ink 5/Pack. I usually stick to name brand pens but this pen surprisingly was great! It wrote great smooth and continuous without any issues. The black bold font was great! I tried them out at work where I use a lot of pens filling out paperwork and never had an issue with the pen not writing or working properly. I liked the bold point pen and wasn’t too overly bold. The end clicked as it should. The rubber grip was comfortable to grasp and use without any problems or discomfort. I would recommend others to try the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Bold Point 1.0mm Black Ink 5/Pack.

Solid Choice for an Everyday Pen
on June 15, 2025

from High Point
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been enjoying these Staples gel pens so far. The ergonomic grip design makes writing effortless greatly reducing hand strain during writing sessions. The bold ink point is perfectly balanced—not too thick just enough for neat legible penmanship. My only minor concern is that the ink can sometimes appear streaky but I’m hoping this improves with more use. Bonus: Despite being gel ink these pens don’t bleed through to the other side of the page which is a big plus!
