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

Good

Once you use these pens, youll never use anything else. They are a pleasure to write with because the ink flows effortlessly onto the page and requires only the lightest grip. They do have one quirk: when you take them on an airplane, the changes in air-pressure eventually cause the pens to leak. Nevertheless, I like these pens so much for their smooth writing quality that I am willing to deal with this.

my signature pen color and these write well, I am a little heavy handed so they may bleed somewhat if you are heavy handed. otherwise excellent product.

I write a lot and am very picky with the pens I use - these write like a dream! Great price too! Ive been using a more expensive type of liquid ink Pilot pen in recent years, but these are actually smoother and better. Its a joy to write with

I love writing with this pen. When you start using a new one, it may take a few lines of writing to get the ink flowing, but then it starts immediately after that. The ink flows smoothly, and you get a steady dark line with a smooth, light stroke of the pen. Another thing I like about this pen--something I havent seen others mention--is the clip that holds it in your shirt pocket. Its firm enough that the pen wont slide around or fall out of your pocket, but its also flexible enough that you can easily position the clip on your pocket. And the clip is attractive too. Its odd to me how very few pens have a good clip like this! I guess people take it for granted, but I have many pens that write well, but the clip is unacceptable for shirt-pocket use, which is my normal way of working in an office environment. I think this is my favorite pen!

Box said black but contained green.

Very leaky pens. If you enjoy purple fingers, then by all means purchase these.

I love these pens (extra fine tip), use them frequently, and have for many years. Performance/consistency has been excellent, and the pens last a long time before running out of ink. Highly recommended (and even better than a Schmidt cartridge I tried in a custom-made pen).

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!

These pens are really, really nice to write with, even as a lefty! They dont smudge, they flow nicely over the page, and they write nice and dark!
