207 Retractable Gel Pens, Medium Point, Blue, Box of 12-33951

Best disposable pens I have ever used for the money. They are comfortable to hold, right smooth until the end, and the ink tube is extra thick and lasts twice as long as others. I specifically like the brighter shade of blue that it writes in, and I like that it has been the exact same, consistent and reliable, since I started using them 18+ years ago (in 2007) I would give this 6 stars if possible.

I bought a box of the uni-ball 207 Rollerball Gel, Gel Retractable Roller Ball Pen Medium-0.7mm, 12 Pack with black ink and another box with blue ink. The pen fits snugly into my hand. Because I normally use a fountain pen, the uni-ball feels a lot lighter in my hand than I would really like. However, it writes easily and expressively, with a nice flowing line - not too thick and not too fine. It takes to the paper's surface very well, and its nib glides smoothly without any annoying scratching or roughness. In fact, it has the feel and appearance of a good-quality fountain pen ink on the surface of paper, except that, unlike most fountain pen inks, it doesn't fade. It writes almost as expressively as a fountain pen - not quite, but almost. It uses some sort of hybrid between gel and ink so that it has the feel of a good-quality ink. My only concern is whether the pen's gel will actually last a decent time. By a "decent time," I mean I would hope to get a good 3 month's usage out of the pen even with extensive daily use. I'm not sure at this stage if the gel will last that long as I can already see through the clear plastic chamber that the gel's level has diminished after two week's constant usage. But I'll write an update on how long the pen actually lasts once I've finished with one pen.

Comfortable to use.

The famous Uni-ball Signo 207 is a quality pen that sets the bar for all accessible pens. People often buy this pen specifically for the ink, but the body is high quality too. Overall, it sets a high standard for what a nice pen should be.

These are great pens: comfortable to hold with a soft rubber grip, good writing feel, retractable (no cap to lose), durable ink that dries fast. As a lefty I often find gel pens end up getting smudged but this ink dries super fast and doesn't get smeared. Pocket clip for that nerd aesthetic and they last a long time (I have some 3-4 years old). Just don't forget to take the tiny seal off the tip before using. Minor quibble: the box they come in is a bit flimsy - mine got smushed in transit but I don't think they'd even last that long in a stationary cabinet.
