Uni Alpha-Gel Jetstream 0.7 mm Ball Point Pen, Black Body, Black Ink (SXN1000071P24)

I have been searching for a long time for a pen which is comfortable, writes smoothly, can be refilled cheaply. This pen fits the bill. The pen is made out of quality matte black metal and a firm squishy grip. It takes Jetstream refills, which you can buy cheaply in bulk on Amazon in different colors and points. The pen comes with a 1mm black fill. I switched it out for a .7mm blue fill. Both fills write very smoothly and easily without skipping. The shape of the pen rests very comfortably in your palm and the grip relieves wrist strain from writing. As a student, I find that I no longer have any pain in my hands when using this pen like I had in the past. It looks reallly cool in person, with a blue to black gradient effect on the grip. It weighs a perfect amount for control without burden. I love using this pen in general because the grip feels so nice when you write. It doesn't attract lint or dusst like other gel grips. I have two, one for my purse and one for my backpack. The refills are only about 1 dollar, I bought them in bulk so I don't have to worry about it for a while. I've had this pen for about 2 months and I'm extremely satisfied with it. In my opinion, its the best quality pen you can get for the money of this type. I love that it is a clicky roller ball, so it is very smooth and there are no caps to lose. When I let people burrow my pen (while I keep a watchful eye on them!), they remark that it's really cool and comfortable. I can imagine myself using this pen for a long time.

Best pen for comfort and writing quality

Hands down my favorite pen I have ever used. The ink runs very smooth and dries quick to avoid smudging. The grip is great especially for someone with RSI and wrist issues like myself. You could get any color you’d like for the ink to replace, which makes it cheaper because you only end up buying one pen. I have only bought this twice because I lost my first one haha. But the pen is my favorite and great to use for school and any writing.

The pen is heavy which is perfect to give the best performance when writing. I'm not a fan of the design, it looks great on the image only. The grip is amazing so I never hold the barrel so that reduces writing fatigue and it forever remains comfortable.

Great pen, writes very well. Amazing grip. Whatever you do, don’t drop it. I’ve killed two of these just by accidentally dropping them from table height. It creates a dead spot on the ball and I’ve dropped plenty of pens with no ill effects. This one seems to be extremely sensitive to drops (even with the tip retracted).

As a university undergraduate student, I spend most if not all of my days at a desk with a pen in hand. As a left handed person, I very quickly realized that a quality pen is essential. After spending hours upon hours researching pens, I settled on this pen, the Pilot Acroball PureWhite ballpoint pen, and the Pilot Dr. Grip Center of Gravity ballpoint, all purported to be kings among pens. While I was not down in my expectations, this pen easily exceeded the others in ways almost indescribable. Yes, a simple pen can truly have that much of a difference. It’s ergonomic design is sleek and beautifully weighted, with a gel grip that can’t quite be described as “squishy” as in the Pilot Dr. Grip Center of Gravity pen, it’s more a soft and malleable cushion for your fingers to rest upon, and after over 6 hours writing my hand feels absolutely fine. There’s no cramping of my fingers because the ink writes darkly so smoothly and effortlessly, the fine point makes my handwriting look clear and precise, and it never smeared across my paper or hand no matter how quickly I was writing. If you’re looking for a phenomenal pen that you’re going to want to reach for for awhile, look no further. I can’t imagine it getting better than this, I have absolutely no complaints about the Uni Alpha-Gel Jetstream Ball point pen.

I’ve rebought this like five times. I just love the grip— if you’re not into gel grips stay away!! It’s a perfect size for my hand and the ink very rarely smudges. It’s also a thinner pen so it’s in my everyday use and perfect for notes.

If you have big sausage fingers and your hands feel like they're cramping after a long period of writing, this is the pen for you. Literally look no further. This is it. Having tried numerous other pens that were popular like the Rotring, which I now believe to be severely overhyped, or the Uniball One P, which is actually very good, this is the one I settled on. The basic Jetstream ink it comes with is pretty much the gold standard for ballpoint pens, but I'm personally not a big fan of ballpoint pens. Many people would be happy to know that this pen fits a Pentel Energel refill perfectly for the utmost comfort and writing experience. Uniball One refill fits too. The only downside of this pen is that the grippy part collects lint and pet hair, but you can kind of just rub it off if it really bothers you. Small price to pay for comfort in my opinion.
