PILOT VBall Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Stick Pens, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, 12-Pack (35200)

I love these pens and have converted everyone at my workplace to them. Ive never had the leaking issues others have complained about and its been over a year.

great pens and price

I absolutely love these pens! As a lefty, Ive always had trouble finding a pen that didnt run or that actually works. Maybe its me, maybe its the pens. I have no idea but Ive never had a single issue with these pens. They write beautifully and last a long time. I really love that its ink. It seems like everything is gel now and they just never work for me. The ink in this pen is consistent and works in any weather. With other pens, Ive had trouble on cold morning but no trouble here. I use them at home and at work all the time, everyone knows my work because of my purple pen. Ill be buying them forever!

I love these pens. They write smooth, and do not leak all over my hand like the last purple pen I was using. And I cant believe how long the ink lasts. I bought these for work, and I use my pen quite a bit during the day, and Im still using the same pen since November. Great buy.

As advertised.

Box said black but contained green.

Met expectations and loved the purple color. I think it is silly that I have to use so many words to submit my thoughts on this product .... Makes you not want to write reviews

Ive been a professional writer for 26 years, and for my money, this is the best pen Ive ever used. Skip free and so extremely fluid, its more like writing with a brush than a pen. And from a design perspective, the V Ball is simple, attractive, functional and very comfortable - a solid performer. Show me any Waterman or Mont Blanc that even comes close, and Ill buy it. But in the interim, at less than two bucks a pop, the Pilot V Ball sets the gold standard for everything a great pen should be. UPDATE: A tragic single flaw. Apparently these pens must be pressurized (probably explains why they flow so smoothly). As a result, DO NOT TAKE THESE ON AN AIRPLANE. Again, just speculating, but it seems that they most blow a seal . . . resulting in a leaky mess thats tough to impossible to clean. White shirts and frilly blouses - be afraid. Be very afraid. ;-) Despite that - I stand by every letter in my first two paragraphs. Absolutely fabulous pens.

These were recommended by Renata LaHalle and theyre lovely for sketching!!!!

update 22 Aug 2018. I a recent online article about best pens, this one wasnt mentioned. Obviously those folks made a mistake. These are the best pens. (end of update) I bought one of these at a local shop, did some extended writing with it, and compared to my other favorite pens. Its quite a good pen, and the ink dries rapidly which is a plus for us LEFT-HANDED WRITERS. If you have a good writing speed, like I do, you have probably experienced some pens that need a pause because of starvation at the tip. These pens have a generous supply, so the next step if you do a lot of writing is to also have a good notebook like a RHODIA whose pages are still designed for real ink. With these pens you can have a beautiful stroke, almost like a good fountain pen, and unlike many others, they dont leak in your pocket in hot weather. Only drawback is that the ink supply is a bit limited. Buy them by the dozen. The blue ones have a nice dark color.
