3.0 out of 5 stars There are better options, February 23, 2010

I used to swear this pen was the best but was forced to change my story. This pen has a couple of major failings. Fist the ink takes some time to dry so I am constantly smearing it. Second if you bump the tip at all the ball point gets damaged and leaks everywhere. If the tip is damaged it'll also not roll properly and write intermittently instead of a smooth consistent line. If you are using an edge to make a straight line the gel collects on the tip and will leave a blob on your paper, and also on your edge. Finally, while this pen is not a small fortune it is more expensive then my new favourite alternative the EnerGel from Pentel which is a better solution for the problems I've listed. When you write a letter or anything really, you should not feel the need to clean up like after you've been painting. This pen gets on everything even when you're careful.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite pen, August 26, 2009

Of all the varied pens swimming about my cubicle -- we're talking about 2 dozen and that doesn't count the sharpies -- my G2 fine point blacks are my favorite. The ink is nice and dark, it comes out easily, there are no clogs. I don't have to press really hard like some ballpoints require and with the advent of arthritis this really matters to me. Yet normal pressure is enough to get a legible image on the second sheet in my carbonless-copy phone message book. I also like them for home use. Alas, so does our puppy....yum yum.

I bought these pens because the pilot precise V7 pens were so expensive. I find that they work very well, and they have a very nice rubberized spot at the bottom that enhances holding the pen. I like the way one can tell the amount of ink remaining, it is quite visible. The click mechanism seems strong.

I find that the ink flows well, but not quite as well as the V7, which remains my ultimate standard in a good pen.

Overall, I prefer the V7, but if you like a click-style pen, this one is a good performer.

The pen is functional rather than elegant; this device is appropriate for work-a-day use. If you want an stylish pen I would not opt for this model. It emphasizes functionality rather than style.
