Uni-BallJetstream RT BLX 12 Pack, 1.0mm Medium Green/Black, Wirecutter Best Ballpoint Pens, Smooth Writing Pens

I really do love these pens. They write beautifully and use every last drop of ink. These 2 tones ones are pretty and just plain fun to use. These are getting harder to find. It took a while to receive from the seller, but worth the wait. The pen itself is very comfortable to use and worth every penny. I have been using the Uniball Jetstream RT pens for years because of the comfort. I write all day at work and other pens start to hurt. These never do. I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.

I have spent a whole lot more on pens and they haven't been as nice as these. These write smoothly and the colors are neat. Only drawback is these colors don't have refills.

Garbage pens - there is more moisture in the Gobi desert than the ink of these pens. A further insult is that I only received 8 out of 12 pens. Oh yes, they arrived loose, unhermitically sealed in a plastic bag within a plastic bag, and not the box illustrated above. I had initiated a return to Amazon but resigned myself to eating this loss, rather than staining my reputation with Amazon: I don't think they would believe that I had received a plastic bag of 8 pens instead of the 12 I had paid for. Even that wouldn't be so bad if even a handful of these accursed pens actually ejected the consistent iota of ink necessary for a ballpoint pen to function/have a purpose for existence.As it is, after shaking vigorously for 20 seconds, about an inch of ink will come out before it goes dry. These "RT BLX" pens were highly rated on WireCutter etc, but my personal experience has embittered me towards this entire brand, for the next 7 lifetimes. These pens, if I haven't been sufficiently clear, are not just entirely useless, their very presence soils the sight and spoils the mood.In summary, I wish to inform the good folks at Amazon to know that they are stocking literal junk in the form of these pens. I obviously don't recommend them, and I lost good money buying them. And if you are compelled to buy them, I strongly recommend counting the pens, and trying each one immediately after receipt, and sending them back in a timely fashion if they don't work.Thank you for your time, and I bid you a fond adieu.

This are great. Unique colors. I've used the regular black ink one for years now and these are just as smooth.However, this paste formula started skipping on one of my pens a few months in and it is not as smooth as gel. I chose these over gel because gel pens dry out if you do not use them regularly (also Uniball doesn't make these colors in gel).

I use pens a lot and I surveyed friends for their favorite flowing pen, especially for ones that dry fast so that I don't get the lefty smear across the page (and on my hand). These Uniball Jetstreams were the top ones recommended and I've been using them ever since. They do write more smoothly than most ball points I've tried--in fact, it's hard to go back to other pens after these. The ink dries fast enough that I don't smear it usually. I like that I can buy refills, but wish they had easily accessible refills in more colors (it's hard to find any but blue or black). What usually happens is that I usually go through a couple refills per pen until the pen clip breaks off (from clipping it on folders), leaving a very sharp metal edge, which I put tape around to keep from cutting myself. Eventually I am tired of the crumbling tape and just order a new pack of pens instead of refills. I'd rather just buy the refills and save money and minimize garbage, but the clip needs to be stronger for that. The photo shows pens in these two stages, and includes the same pen in the capped version of this pen, which is less convenient than the clicker kind, and also seems to flow a bit less smoothly for lefties, who are pushing, rather than pulling, the pen from left to right. Overall, it's my first choice--even better than some fancy-pricey pens I was gifted--for most writing tasks.

UPDATE: Only 2 out of twelve pens were functional. I attribute this to the vendor, not the maker. I've stored many Jetstream pens for more than a year and never had then dry out, so these were undoubtedly mishandled and sold non-functional. I won't try another box, but I still love Jetstreams in general, and use the refills in nice pens.Original Review: I love Jetstreams, and the BLX colors are terrific. I especially love the blue-black, in Jetstream as well as Signo 207 gel, so I snatched up a full box of the Jetstreams to avoid being left in the proverbial lurch if they were to discontinue them.Unfortunately, the first one I tried out of the box was dried out and would not respond to typical measures I've used to get old pens working. I have not tried all of them, because that would involve taking off the wax protector nub, which would only make them age more poorly going forward. The next two started okay after a little scrap scribbling, so fingers crossed.Jetstreams write wonderfully in general, really I haven't found anything quite like them in terms of gel-like opacity with the ability of ballpoint ink to bond to the face of the page, even with cheaper paper, without soaking through and running the reverse side of the sheet. But they do have an occasional tendency to stutter a bit. Not quite like skipping you experience with ballpoints or fountain pens where it just thins out and then comes back to full line width. It just cuts out completely for a second, and then with the least bit of scribbling, comes right back full strength.This was the first time I've experienced a Jetstream that just limped out a weak stream of ink persistently. It performed like one running out of ink, but the refill is clearly full and undamaged.One bad pen out of twelve mitigates the value somewhat. If more fail, it becomes a coin toss whether they're worth purchasing by the case. I love the color enough to see how it goes with this case.

For me, writing with these pens feels smoother and less skippy than it does with the 0.7 mm. And the lines are still nice and thin; with other pens 1.0 mm would seem way too thick but these work surprisingly well. They look nice, feel nice, high quality. I wish the barrel were slightly thinner in the hand, though. Also I love the blue/black.

Good pens but not the colours they’re meant to be

The tints added to the black ink provide a subtle coloration that is just enough to add some personality to your official correspondence, while still looking very professional. The ink works as advertised - no smudging at all. The only negative for me is that by now three out of the five pens have been very politely purloined by colleagues :-)

Loves these pens. I’ve purchased two boxes now and use each one until it’s spent. I’ll continue buying them as long as they are made.The dark green looks great.
