The idea of a gel grip on a quality pen sounds like a slam dunk winner. I have 3 of these guys and I can tell you that winner they are not. First, the refills (kind of a basic feature) are from Fisher and are the pressure type and not very good. Every one I have blobs if I write a lot. Next, the gel on one leaked and made a mess in my wife's purse (she was not happy). And the design strikes me as a little crude in comparison to the high price. Not a great value and I'll never buy another. I think the idea has merit but the execution is still in need of some work.

I have been using Sensa for several years and Fisher Spade pen for 30 years - the first original is still in use.

It all depends on use. For everyday purposes you use whatever happens to be handy. Fisher is excellent if you have to write standing up against a wall or on an uneven surface.

Sensa is the best for students and professors (like me) using a lot of longhand. After half an hour writing you really start appreciating.

For purses and trouser pockets small Fisher is good. All ballpoints and gels cause terrible damage without cap in shirt pocket. It is a bit like using a fountain-pen, which I did until recent years.

Sensa looks like a gimmick, but it is really good value.
