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

Such great pens. I dont know why they arent more widely available. Smooth, reliable writing. Liquid ink is great for doodling. Time will tell if I should have got the fine instead of extra fine, but these seem to do the trick. I tried some of the Pilot Precise whatever pens and was initially impressed, but they didnt hold up well. These are what I used to use all the time and Im glad to see that I can get them on Amazon, as I can never find them in the store.

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!

Our entire family LOVES this pen. Very fine, doesnt smear, NICE! Only pen my 14 year old will use, husband & I love it as well

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.

It was exactly what it says

nice

The best micro-fine pen on the market. Sharp and the ink lasts a reasonable amount of time. Ive had no memorable duds in the 4 boxes Ive bought over the last 4 years.

I know this is only a pen, and not usually worthy of a review, but these pens are awesome. Been using these pens almost exclusively for 5 years. The amount of ink in these is outstanding. They take forever to run out. I usually end up losing the pen well before it runs out of ink. These pens are tough. I forgot I had one if these pens in the pocket of my work shirt before I ran it through the washer and dryer. When I took the shirt out there was no signs that the pen leaked on the shirt. The area where the fingers grip seems to be a place where the ink likes to drip into. This only seem to happen if the pen is sitting in the hot or frozen car. Never had the containment been breached though. The only down side to these pens is if you are done writing something, you need to take the pressure off the tip or ink will continue to flow, and a blob of ink will form on the paper.

These pens are a dream to write with.

Ive always loved this model of pen but this box was inconsistant. It had a few pens that skipped enough to be annoying and hard to use.
