I have used this pen almost daily for 6 months. I am a college student who suffers from arthritis severe enough that at times I can not write at all. This pen has increased the time I can write comforatbly by 4 fold. I have recently noticed some wear at the bottom of the pen which may cause the ink cartridges (which are small) to fall out in the future. Therefore, I don't know how long this pen will last. If it fails, I will buy a new one, because I can't live without it. If you don't have trouble writing with a normal pen, there is no good reason to spend so much money on this pen it's refills.

The idea behind this pen seems like a good one, but based on my experience I've concluded that it is impossible to write comfortably.

The two aspects of the pen that make it uncomfortable for me are: 1) The part of the pen that you hold with your index finger and thumb is extremely thin, making it very hard to have a good grip on the pen without exerting a lot of effort; 2) the shape of the "ring" puts excessive pressure on the base of the index finger, which causes pain.

I would recommend looking into other alternative pens such as pens with wide and soft grips (check out "the pencil grip" company), the Penagain pen, or the Evo-pen.

i work in an office and sometimes experience pain/fatigue from writing. i bought this pen to alleviate, but it's loose around my finger and then difficult to hold in place. plus the quality is not good, the cap that comes with the pen does not stay on. look elsewhere.

I agree that the end of the pen is too small to grip comfortably. Also, the ink is blue, which was not specified in the listing. The quality of the ball point seems to be mediocre. Overall, a good concept, but needs fine-tuning (like a softer material with more rounded edges). Too expensive for what you get.
