5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Pen, would definitely recommend it, December 9, 2005

This review is from: uni-ball Vision Elite Stick Micro Point Roller Ball Pen, Blue-Black, (69020) 12 pack (Office Product)

I'm a bit of a pen snob - I hate writing with cheaply made pens that can't distribute an even line. If it skips, or scratches, or is just not pretty or comfortable, I'll toss it without a second thought.

That's why I was thrilled when I tried this pen. Here are a list of it's pros:

1. It is very smooth - this is of utmost importance. I absolutely hate writing with a scratchy pen.
2. Distributes an even line of ink.
3. It's comfortable, although nothing remarkable there.
4. It's a very good looking pen.
5. It comes in different sized tips. 0.8, 0.5, and my favorite - 0.3. I will not write with any tip larger than "Fine Point" - that is typically a 0.5 tip (depending on the manufacturer). It is not as common to find a smaller tip, when you do, it's called "Micro" or "Super-Fine". This is one of the few GREAT pens that's also offered in my preferred writing tip. I like this size tip because it gives me more options. It's a liquid rollerball pen - which means that if you want a thicker line, all you have to do is write a little slower or write with a greater angle. If you want a thinner line, write faster or with a smaller angle (have the pen be closer to perpendicular to your paper). By having a Super-Fine pen, I have a much greater range of line sizes that I can create. More range, more options, that's always a good thing.
6. It's refillable. The ink in the pen should last you a very long time, I don't know of many people that keep a pen long enough for it to run out of ink...I'm one of the few people I know who does! But it's nice to have the option of just buying refills.
7. Offered in many different colors including my favorite - "Blue-Black". I hate writing in black because then my writing kind of blends into the printed text of documents that I'm writing on. Red is too bright and a document all marked up in Red usually scares people. Blue - well, blue is so common - everyone writes in blue. Purple - well, purple is great for my personal documents, but not good for use at the workplace...same goes for Green, Orange, and Pink - although, when color-coding my markups - having this wide range of colors is perfect. Blue-Black is great because it's a different color, so I can satisfy my desire for individuality without sacrificing the professional look. It's a very nice color and one that will not dimish your credibility - in fact, it may enhance it and people ooooo and ahhhh over the new color.

In conclusion, this pen is perfect and I would greatly recommend it.

I found it interesting to read the other reviews, thinking that I was the only individual in the world who actually cares greatly about my writing instrument. It was nice to hear others agree. Though the vison elite's are moderately expensive I will never use another pen again. I am a graduate student and these pens provide smooth and consistent lines. I bought my first set over a year ago and continue to add to the collection. Top notch and by far the 'best pen' for all your needs.

I was so happy to find this for sale in the US. I originally bought them in Asia (source of all the nicest stationary, etc) and had been resigned to paying ridiculous prices in Japantown in SF until I realized you could buy them here.

Be sure to get the 0.5mm variety - it's very smooth without being too thick and inky like some rollers can be. Also, I'm a big fan of the blue-black color, though I'm sure others are great too.

Now if only someone would import and sell the 0.3mm Pilot G-Tec-C3 (another great pen - though a different style) at a reasonable price.
