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

I have big hands and struggle to find pens with a wide enough grip to be comfortable for lots of writing. This pen is fantastic and one of the most comfortable I've ever used. The grip is quite... squidgy... and at first I thought maybe too soft. Then I took this pen to a conference where I wrote many, many pages of notes and had no aches in my fingers or wrist at the end of the day, which I'd usually get after doing a lot of fast handwriting. I'd taken a couple of other pens along as backups so I could change around if my hand started getting sore part way through the day, but didn't touch them as the Alpha-Gel Grip was so comfortable. The body of the pen and the clip is metal and feels sturdy, I've no worries about bashing it around in my bags or pockets. The ink is the usual Jetstream quality - smooth, good flow, doesn't smear if you move your hand across it (I'm right handed, so if you're a left handed writer you might want to check out exactly how quickly Jetstream ink dries before buying, but as far as I can tell this would be fine for left handers.) It takes their SXR-7 refills so it's cheap to put new ink in when it runs out. I found the tip wore in slightly in the first couple of pages of use, so if you don't like it immediately, give it a try for a little while and I found it improved and then stabilised at a nice, even, quite thin line that never skipped a beat. I've tried the Jetstream SXN-150-07 which takes the same refill, and they're good, but their grip section is hard rubber and not as wide as the grip on this. I've found the Alpha-Gel Grip so much better I'll probably be taking the refills from the SXN-150-07s and using them in the AG Grip instead. Highly recommended if you have big hands and usually get cramp or pain when you write a lot.

This really is a great pen for left handers like me. It's comfortable to hold and after a few lines of writing you realise that there's no fear of smudging. Fantastic product!

Excellent grippability & nice balance so great ergonomics for prolonged periods òf writing such as essays or exams. Uses same refill as other Jetstream RT rollerballs : prefer 1mm point for even smoother writing ( Alpha gel comes with 0.7mm) Much better quality than other cheap throwaway rollerballs.

Ergonomically this pen is amazing. I have never owned a pen so comfortable to use. I'd recommend this to any right handed person. However, I'm a lefty so I'm stuck with a common issue in that the nib and ink flow can be a bit of a pain. Either going too quick and scraping along or going too slow and leaving enough ink to paint my hand and the page under it. if I could get a refill from a uni-ball SXN-210 to fit in it it would be the perfect pen for me. I'd still recommend it to everyone I know. Edit (22/11/19): I switched in a uni-ball sxn-210 refill and it works so much better for left handed writing. The grip is extremely comfortable to use for long stints.

Super smooth and writes on paper like butter, this pen writes fantastically! The super soft grip really helps with hand fatigue/ for me personally who has problems with hands. The only problem is that the silicone grip collects ALL kind of bits of hair, fluff and bits so I recommend putting it in a non fluffy fabric pencil case like plastic.

Great pen that you can write with for hours without finger soreness. Just the right amount of cushion to protect and be able to grip. Good looking pen too. Worth the additional cost. Recommend.

Lovely pen. But the ink stopped working in 3 days. Contacted the seller, I was offered anything.

I cannot part from this pen. Absolutely the best pen that I use as an daily driver. The grip is phenomenal, although I might add that it might be too big or chunky for some people. The pen seems shorter than other typical pens as wells so, people with big hands might not be so comfortable with it but the grip should compensate for this. The Jetstream Ink provides the smoothest strokes at light pressure. No ink blobs through paper like other rollerball inks. Overall, an excellent pen that I use daily.

書き心地最高です

Has a good weight to it and it writes well. I wish it came in blue ink as an option. I love the grip as well. Would purchase again.

Perfekt, vor allem der weiche Griff vorne.

届いたのがなぜか一ヶ月あとくらいで 忘れた頃にやってきました。 書き味、見た目、持った感じは想像以上で素晴らしいペンです！ すぐにシルバーをプレゼント用に買い足しました。

Fungerar fint. Ligger bra i handen.
