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

Very fine pen. This writes better than the Pilot Precise V5 and much smoother too.

These are the best pens I have ever owned. The purple is vibrant and the lines are smooth. Just be careful to not leave them uncapped near paper or cloth because they will get soaked in.

As a writer, you rarely think youre going to rave about a particular product and then write a review about the dumb thing. But thats just what I am doing for the Pilot V-Ball, Extra Fine, UPC # 35200, Black pen. I have used one for over ten years and usually I cant find them in the stores and thus have to order them. Its OK and heres why. I am a consultant and keep a number of billable hours logs: Telephone incoming and outgoing time, client activities, and just jot-`em-down entries. What got on my nerves with other pens, was the resulting glob of ink if you held your pen too long in one spot; the uneven distribution of ink; the long drying time so that you wind up with an ink stain on your hand. I also write with my hand on the page and a glide stroke across it. Old habits die hard. You can hold this pen in one place as you ponder, its OK. The ink is as even on the beginning of the sentence as it is on the punctuation at the end. And the drying time is so fast a second after you write, the ink is dry. The most important aspect of this remarkable pen is the ability to lay the ink down in such a thin, tiny line that I get more compulsive-obsessive notes in the nooks and crannies of my logbooks. So there. An ode to a pen. If you like just a wonderful pen - this is it. Oh yes, for all you folks who still write longhand for the feel of it, and then the computer - this is still it.

I have been using this pen for close to 20 years now and have tried many others in that period. I have never encountered another pen with the same rolling smoothness and balance in my hand. I used to buy them at Staples all the time, but now have to order it there. I just came across this on Amazon, and while I wish they hadnt changed the barrel marking to this conspicuous large font, Im presuming it is the same pen Ive loved all these years. Writing quality: Very smooth and consistent. Tends to bleed through thinner papers but, thats because the ink is so consistent. Its listed as a rollerball, but it doesnt have the dead spots in a line one expects of a rollerball such as bic. I also notice that needlepoints tends to get stuck on paper. I hate needlepoints. This pen rolls across different types of papers smoothly, and will also not pool in one spot very easily. Comfort: I think its the perfect size and shape. Its shorter than the traditional or Bic brand size, which gives me a great balance when writing. I also like the stiffness of the barrel, and the clear plastic around where your fingers grip are just the right size. The material gives good tacky grip. I will never be able to write again if they stop selling this pen!

I love these pens and am glad theyre available in several colors.

Never thought I would take the time to write an Amazon review for a pen, but here we are. I have used these pens exclusively for more than 20 years. It started when, in high school. I randomly picked up one of my dad’s, and that is when the love affair began. It was, of course, love at first write. I committed my undying devotion to Vball pens right then and there, and it’s been the only pen I’ve used for well over 20 years. I wish I could still find them in stores, but I love that I can buy a 12-pack on Amazon. They used to be sold separately, just one in a pack. I get compliments on my handwriting all the time and always give these pens the credit. They write so smoothly and beautifully. In 20 years I can count on one hand the amount of pens I may have had leak. And they do last a long time. This is literally the only pen I buy or use. Please, please VBall, don’t ever change or discontinue this product!

i loooove these pens.

I love these pens. They write well, they write smoothly, and they work well until the ink is _gone_. It’s not often I manage to use a pen until it is entirely empty, but I’ve done it with these pens. The ballpoint writes just as well at the end as it did at the start. These are great pens. You can carry them in your jeans pocket, and they won’t leak. I’ve used these pens for 20+ years, and these will spoil you compared to cheap ballpoints.

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
