PILOTDr. Grip Limited Refillable & Retractable Gel Ink Rolling Ball Pen, Fine Point, Assorted Barrel, Black Ink, Single Pen (36274)

This has been the pen I've used daily for at least 10 years. It's a comfortable grip and the product holds up well, making it a great choice for a refillable pen. I only purchased a new one because I lost a piece when I changed out the refill.

This is my favorite pen; I maintain 3-4 and buy the refills on repeat. The only bummer about buying online is you can’t necessarily pick the color. As cliche as it is I try to get pink, because any other color walks in my male dominated environment.

Extremely comfortable grip

The pen I have in my hand has been with me since 2016. I like the way it feels in my hand with the gel grip and I also like the way it writes. It doesn't cost much for new cartridges and you have a selection of inks to choose from. The "fine" refills are more pointy and the lines are thin, the "bold" refills are more broad and stand out on the page. I've used both options over the years and prefer the bold over fine. I do a lot of writing and found that the fine tips would be susceptible to cause tears in the pages as I write. Not all the time but enough to make me want to not use them anymore. The only thing with the bold tips are that the ink can smear if you brush it with your hand while writing. I've never had any issues with the pen I've been using for 8 years now. No issues with the springs, barrel, none of that. We all have our favorite pens and this one is no exception. Once you figure out which ink best suites your writing style, you will feel the same way.

Only issues I have are:A)in pocket or bag, apparently collected minute (trace) amount of lint, which causes ink refill to jamb in the pen. This has been an outstanding issue with each pen I’ve purchased! I have a LIMITED EDITION, which I am concerned about returning, for fear that I may not get it back, though it currently doesn’t work.B)clip is too loose for some lightweight material shirts, pen slips out upon leaning, and falls to ground/floor.Otherwise I have used these pens since they came out! Best pens in the World!

It is really comfortable, writes smoothly, ended up buying one for my mom that has arthrosis in her hands and she's loving it. It looks beautiful. The refills are very easy to change and very cost effective, can find them anywhere. Highly recommend it, especially if you have to write a lot .

I remember a couple of decades back when these things started showing up. What were these big pens, and why were they so expensive? Those were not even gel pens back then; they were regular ballpoints. Yet they had the nerve to cost more than the G-2 pens that I adored.Fast forward to now, they're still expensive. But in a twist of irony, they now come with G-2 refills.For these pens, you get a random color. I've got silver. You may get a different one.Fit and finish is admittedly good. It's thicker than G-2 and takes some getting used to, but it's actually not as thick as I remember. But it being a silicone gel... lint and dirt magnet, the grip is. I'd be lying if it's not a pain to keep it clean. But it's surprisingly well-built and is comfortable to boot. The fact that it expresses none of the plastic rattles that my G-2 shows whenever I write is a big plus.Despite that, I don't expect this pen to last that long--despite the refills and despite the price and build quality. Rubber grips do not age well. I've just gotten this pen and run it through the paces for a week or two so ultimately time will tell, but to be honest, I'm not having high hopes for it if I decide to make it a main pen for my writing sessions. I'll update it on its longevity later on.

Best pen ever? Most comfortable yes!Only pen I have ever bought ink for because it ran out. So comfortable and it's my wife's favorite pen and she has no issues with it, and she is left handed.
