Hiacry Gel Pens - 8 Pack Gel Pens - 0.7mm Medium Point for Smooth Writing, Quick Dry, Durable Black Ink, Office and School Supplies for Men Women Students

I originally chose these because I wanted pens that looked nice, felt comfortable to hold, and could pull double duty for both journaling and work. They've checked every box and then some. First, the comfort factor is outstanding. The barrel is just the right thickness, which makes writing for long stretches much easier. So many pens are so skinny that they leave my hand feeling cramped and tired, but these are comfortable enough that I can journal for pages or take notes throughout my workday without thinking about my grip. That's a bigger deal than it sounds. The writing experience is exactly what I was hoping for. The ink flows smoothly, the 0.7 mm tip creates a clean, crisp line, and the ink dries quickly. I haven't had a single issue with smearing, whether I'm writing in my journal or making notes for work. The fidget roller is a fun little bonus and definitely sets these pens apart. It has a satisfying rolling click that gives your fingers something to do when you're thinking or taking a quick pause from writing. It's a unique feature that adds a little personality without taking away from what is already an excellent pen. And yes, these pens are genuinely pretty. They have a polished, modern look that I appreciate and matches my own aesthetic. It's funny how a pen can make you actually want to write, but these do exactly that. I feel like I have found my pen, and I'll definitely be ordering another set when the time comes.

I originally bought these for my high school aged son to use at school. They sat around for months unopened so I started using them and they have now become my favorite pen, and I’m not a huge fan of gel. I tend to slide my pen on the paper so gel usually smudges a lot and looks messy when I use it, not this pen. It writes so perfect. Leaves no smudging. There is no skipping when writing. The added little anxiety rollers are a help as well as I suffer from anxiety & I’ve noticed i will start fidgeting with them. They are soft feel pen so very comfortable to hold. I was honestly greatly surprised & pleased with these pens. Will be purchasing more!

I've been looking for gel pens that don't smear or clog the tip, or don't write at all, without padding under the paper you're writing on. For people like my staff and me, who spend 8 hours a day writing in charts, filling out forms, etc., using the right pen is a "thing". I'm extremely impressed with these gel pens. We've been using them for a few months now. They write smoothly with consistent ink flow, and best of all—no smearing or bleeding through the paper, even with regular daily use. The ink does build up on the tip just a little, but does not blot on the paper when you're writing. I initially purchased them for my staff, and they were such a hit that several team members ended up buying their own for personal use. That really speaks to the quality and reliability. For just over a dollar a pen, they honestly write better than many of the pricier, well-known brands. It’s rare to find this level of quality at such a great price point. If you’re looking for pens that are clean, dependable, and enjoyable to write with, these are definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Pens are great, the ink is okay. The grip is okay, the material itself makes it easy to hold the pen as it’s grippy. The ink can smear, so be aware, but it’s not awful. The pens hold up well, I’m no longer breaking pen clips as I just spin these. Colors are nice too, and the outer shell material is nice to the touch.

I bought these for work as I fidget and usually end up breaking the clip off all my other pens. I am happy to report no clips have been broken on these pens. The fidget spinner may need some breaking in as the first one I used didn’t seem to spin and made a crunching noise, but once you spin it a couple of times it wears the bumps down and it spins seamlessly. I love the gel ink as well. It doesn’t run or smudge. It makes it easy to take notes as there is continuous flow of ink. I will definitely be purchasing again!
