[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Staples ProGel pens for the last few weeks. I am very impressed with the quality of these pens. I use them daily at work and at home. They are always a reliable! I love the smoothness of the gel. 10/10 would recommend these pens! Thanks so much to the stellar product testing panel for allowing me the opportunity to try out the Staples ProGel pens.

Great Red Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great exactly as you would expect. I have terrible handwriting so having a pen that flows well matters a lot. I love the way the pen glides not only is the color bold but the way it writes helps my handwriting flow better and look less like chicken scratch. The grip is comfortable and I can use them often and don't get an indent from griping too tightly. Highly recommend.

Great Pen and Great Value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impressions are everything and this value pen does not disappoint. Right away it fits ergonomically in your hand highlighted by the modestly angled rubber grip. It's not your typical circular grip and the hold is fantastic. I will say it's slightly... and I mean only slightly... larger than I would desire but my hand is on the average size for a male. The Red Ink is perfect for mark-ups and note taking and it stands out boldly. The 0.7mm tip is perfect for everyday writing although the ink (like all pens) takes a handful of seconds to dry. The pen glides on all surfaces and would recommend to anyone.

Smooth and Easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens were easy to use with the ink flowing freely enough to make writing a breeze but not too juicy to leave splotches on my paper. Nice feeling in the hand with the rubber grip and pretty color.

Smooth and functional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel pens with a 0.7mm point and was very pleased with their overall performance! The pen is very lightweight and comfortable to hold. It also has an ergonomic grip that is soft but still functional which helps reduce strain during longer periods of writing. I have the red ink pen and the ink is bold but still consistent; there is no skipping and no bleeding and dries immediately. I'll be purchasing the black ink version as well soon. It feels very smooth to write with and the ink feels like it is gliding similar to what a roller pen feels like. I personally feel that the 0.7 mm point is perfect for everyday use and is bold but not overwhelming like 1.0 mm points can be at times. I’ve tested it several times and the ink will not smear even when I try to make it smear which is rare for a bold ink pen. I tend to scribble in my notebooks and the ink doesn't bleed through which is a bonus. I do want to mention that I consider myself somewhat of a pen connoisseur and really appreciate a good pen. I have a few different pens that I keep on constant rotation depending on the task and a pen really has to meet the mark to get included into the rotation. That being said the Staples ProGel 0.7 mm did just that and I intend on adding the black ink version to my everyday rotation. Overall I was very impressed with these pens and find them ideal for every day use but can also see them being used for more time consuming tasks requiring extended periods of writing due to their comfort and functionality.

Writes SO Smooth

from Freeport
[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.

My new favorite
on June 11, 2025
Posted by: KaylaI
from Bloomington
[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.
