Uniball Gel Pen 12 Pack, 0.38mm Ultra Micro Black Ink, Smooth Writing Office Supplies...

I love me a .38mm tip, and these are amazing! No skip, lightweight, and cheap enough I'm not afraid to lose one! I keep them alongside my Signos for doing things like puzzles and quick notes.

Each pen in the box has a cover over the tip to help prevent any drying out. These pens are my new favorite everyday pens. The ink does not glob up, and is extremely quick-drying and does not smear. The clip on the side is easy to use when attaching it to a notebook or paper.

I really like the design and feel of these pens, and they are offered at a really good price. The rubberized grips are comfortable and the metal clips are very nifty and durable. As others have mentioned, the ink is very black and dries quite quickly. However, these pens do tend to skip on occasion and sometimes have a 'scratchy' feel while writing. This may be due, in part, to the ultra-fine tip and the low-quality notebook paper that I am using. The problem seems to go away when writing on different paper or when writing more slowly. Once I use up all of these (which may take a while), I plan to buy some more, but with a wider tip to see if they write more consistently.

My handwriting is atrocious; however, I find it is because I tend to apply a lot of pressure when I write using larger ball point pens. Once I switched to smaller sized ball points, my hand writing greatly improved. Now it was just a matter of finding a good set of small ball point pens that were good value for the money, and these fit the bill perfectly! The flow is great, understand though being a smaller ball point you cant just sling this pen around at great speed and expect it doesnt skip. If you write at a good steady space though, it will write smoothly without any breaks in the pen markings. These pens are light weight, and feel very soft and smooth in the hand. This may come across as cheap feeling to some, but personally I find it comfortable. Overall if you are looking for a set of affordable fine ball point pens, I recommend these!

The media could not be loaded. So far so good with these Uni-ball One 0.38mm pens. Bought a box of 12 for just under $11. I like fine-tip pens, but its sometimes tough to find them, especially ones that work well. Thus far, these have produced nice, fine lines and have good ink flow. The ink hasnt smudged at all, even on paper types (thermal imaging) that I typically struggle writing on with certain pens. I might also order the .5mm style to see how those write, but for now Im loving these. The pens also look good. Simple design. Theyve even made it difficult to see where the upper and lower portions meet. Yes, they unscrew from each other and you can replace the ink cartridges when they run out (if thats your thing). The metal clip is very cool and doesnt have any edges on it that might trash the pen pocket inside my suit jacket. Fun to fidget with as well.
