I don't get around to reviewing much, so it's pretty funny that I've chosen to log on to review a certain kind of pen. Like everybody else who's commented, I like pens, and I like my pens JUST SO. The Precise V5 had always been a standby, and I got really excited about the V5 retractables until I realized they a) didn't have QUITE so deep of a black tone to the ink, and b) had a tendency to put ink spots on my trousers through the pockets.

When my wife brought home a couple of these Precise Visions from the office, though, I fell in love. The ink comes out a deep, true black without ever coming out blotchy like the V5s tend to do. On top of the smooth stroke, it's got a quality soft grip, something that always bugged me about the hard, plastic-y V5s.

I used them until they ran dry, and then, instead of throwing them away, I held onto them so I could find them again. I actually went to MULTIPLE STORES, carrying around a dead pen in my pocket to compare against everything in their stock, but couldn't find it at any of the office places I expected to (instead I gave the new sharpie pens a try, but was disappointed - the felt tip just isn't my thing, and the black just isn't...true. I expected more from sharpie).

Yes, I felt a little ridiculous for being so into this pen. But I accept my quirks - and here I am, having hunted down these pens online. As I write, they're selling for such a low price I ordered two dozen, but even at full retail I would consider these worth the price - and, like the other reviewer, I consider myself a very moderate spender (some might say "cheap" - but I know quality).

Yes, the previous reviews all align with my own comments. I tend to be someone who is a bit particular... but when I find what I like, I'm loyal to the end. And so it is with this model of pen. I have tried many types of pens in hopes of finding a model that is less expensive and more widely available in local stores. Alas, nothing compares to the Vision Exact Micro. And so here I am, paying $25 for PENS! I'm a fairly moderate spender, so that says a lot - $25 for PENS, and they're truly WORTH IT! :)

When precision counts and you are going to be at it for hours, you need a good fine point pen.

This one is quite simply the best I've ever found.

After many hours of work, I think that you too will appreciate the gel handle.

This pen is quite possibly the best on the market today when it comes to doing line art work. If I had to choose between buying a Sigma Micron set of 5 pens for 20 bucks and the Uniball Vision Exact Roller Pen pack of 12...I'd take the Uni-ball Vision Exact set. The quality of the black ink on paper gliding through the lines is incredible. It's impressive the ink dries so quickly because when I do my sketches..I usually start with graphite mechanical pencil and then overlay the construction lines with the Uni-ball Vision Exact. The rubber grip helps tremendously allowing subtle movements without slipping. I wouldn't be surprised to learn if professional comic book artists are using the Uni-ball Vision Exact pens for their inking jobs because I frankly can't think of any other pen that offers this quality at affordable prices. The only drawback is this Uni-ball line is extremely hard to find in retail outlets. You'd be extremely lucky if you can get this in a local store because the most likely avenue available to get this pen is via online order.

first off, you know you have a good INK pen when you can write on skin and have the tip NOT clog! ...it takes a high quality ink-tip to pull stunts like that. the grip is just right. its grippy, its firm (but not too firm), it does its job. the ink dries in about .5 - 1.2 seconds which is really awesome. a lot of ink pens have been trying to incorporate quick dry ink formulas, and so far this is my favorite. v5's and v7's, which is the pen most people get all crazy over, are nice. i prefer these though soley because the ink flow isn't as quick; it is however just as smooth. you are sure to be BALLIN' with these uni-ball pens.

I use this pen to underline important information in my school notes. It writes especially dark and is very fine so it is easy to write notes in the margins. I love it!

I almost never review anything and I am only reviewing this pen because its that good. I have tried hundreds of pens...literally, and this is the most comfortable, best ink flow, precision, lines, and pressure I have found. My handwriting is really nice (if I may say so myself!) so I really care about pens. My only complaint is that this pen only comes in black and blue and not all the pretty colors that the fine point one comes in like purple and teal. Uniball - please make more colors available for this pen!

Nobody else that I know or work with has discovered this pen. It's distinctive-looking so I know it's mine. Has not yet skipped or scratched the paper like the original Uniball Micro did. Also very comfortable. Price well worth it.

I love these pens. It makes a relatively thin line and the ink doesn't run, once dry, when in alcohol (I use them to mark labels for insects preserved in ethanol). They are also smooth for notes. But yeah, you pay for them.

Amazing quality. Uni-ball exact is the best. Never want to use other brands of pens. Will bug more soon.
