As a teacher, I use tons of pens and go through many each year. This is my all-time favorite. The pen is comfortable to hold, thanks to the rubberized grip area. It writes without pushing or effort, although I can push hard if I am writing on a carbon copy. The ink is dark. I have had no problems with the pens breaking, although maybe I use them up more quickly than others, so they don't get old enough to break. I not only recommend these, but give them as gifts to other teachers.

After writing for years with Pilot's G-2 pens, I thought I'd never fall in love with a plastic pen again. That was until I met the Uni-Ball Signo 207. Now when faced with the task of picking a G-2 or a 207 from my desk drawer, I hesitate. Like the G-2, it's refillable, reducing waste. The Signo 207 has smooth flowing ink that seems to last forever, a sharp fine point making the writing look elegant and as far as looks, it appears much more classy and expensive than the G-2 when it comes to plastic pens.

These are okay in a pinch, but not my favorite rollerball pen. I am a rollerball fanatic, always looking for the perfect black one. Sometimes you get a pen out of the pack with these that writes perfectly. Other times, you get a scratchy one that barely writes. For the price, it's not worth it. I spend more and get Sharpie brand fine point pens, which write well, last a LONG time and have very dark ink (as I prefer). They're not "perfect", but are better than this.

These pens write okay...most of the time. The trouble is that they tend to 'skip'-- they randomly quit writing. Usually, a quick scratch on a scrap of paper (or even a fingertip) will get the pen writing again. For what I do with them, they're OK. If I were working on something where I needed to have a pen that consistently wrote 100% of the time, I would try another pen.

This has become my favorite pen in the office and I've ordered boxes of the same pen in blue, black, and red ink. The pen is a little thick so if you have average to larger size hands it really fits nicely in your hand. The grip is soft and comfortable without being too crazy looking or sponge like. Most importantly these pens just write so smoothly and crisply. There is never any gaps like you see with those cheap gel pens and the point is thin/fine enough for people like me who tend to write as small as possible to fit more on a page.

The only problem with this pen is that it writes so well that people might end up stealing it or "purposely not returning it" when you leave it at their desk!

I bought a box and they run out of ink very quickly. I always lose pens long before they run out of ink. Not these. They are empty in a few weeks.

I got a box of these from someone before a starting my first semester in college. To my surprise, they lasted forever and write great. I take a lot of notes during lectures and they didn't seem to make my hands and fingers cramp up and sore after an extended period of time. I love these pens and I will continue to buy them as long as I have a use for them!

Excellent pen -- produces unbroken lines clearly and always first time. Plus, because it uses a type of paint rather than ink, it is un-alterable on cheques!

This is hands down the best pen I've used that cost less than $100, and it's been better than most that cost more. I used exactly one of the 12 of the pens that come in a pack of these for all my notes in an 18 unit semester, and it never ran short. It's comfortable, reliable, (although the ink takes a moment to dry, it doesn't block up and stop working) and I've used these pens as a cashier at a grocery store. The clip is strong enough to stay on your shirt, looks nice while it's there (it's a great job interview pen), yet is open enough that you can get it around your pocket.

It costs more than your standard little white pens, but I'd say that one of these pens is worth about 1000 of one of those, meanwhile it's not so expensive that it's a national tragedy when you lose one or one gets damaged. Coincidentally I'd say that unless you've formed some kind of bond with it, it's still a replaceable pen even though there are refills available for these.

In short, it's a fantastic product, it's worth every penny.

I use only these pens. Comfortable in the hand, nice even ink line. Best part is ... they're refillable!
