Highly recommended! Great for price!!
It’s a good looking pen. I see it’s smudge resistant and it a smooth write. I write fast and this is perfect and light. My wrist doesn’t hurt after long term use. The ball point is smooth and the ink is good. I didn’t bother to open my other pen set to compare them to. I usually use a lot of pens

An excellent ballpoint pen in both blue and black
Note: All of my reviews are written 100% by me, not AI generated. I continue to come back to these pens in both blue and black over and over. They are light, comfortable to hold, and write clearly from the first try. For me, the 1.0 point is perfect as I prefer a more solid line when writing so I haven’t tried the other sizes. I use these pens to write on almost any surface including washi tape in my journal. They also write really well on shiny surfaces like the back of a greeting card. The only thing I have found them to be hit or miss on is PET tape and transparent plastic tape from my label maker. However, I don’t really expect them to write on that kind of tape, so it doesn’t bother me. I was a long-time Bic ballpoint pen user but was given one of these at work, and I fully converted almost immediately. Also I find the price on Amazon, especially on Subscribe and Save, to be the best I’ve found. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy using a ballpoint pen for your day to day writing!

Decent pens
These pens write pretty good for what they’re worth as far as functionality and the speed of writing is pretty good and smooth. We use them all the time in the office and I prefer the thickness of this ink because it still is legal because it’s blue ink and the ink flows pretty decently. It doesn’t run ink all over the place. The thickness of the lines is very good. It’s not too thin. I’ve been using them for years.

Great ink + smooth writing for the fastest drying time and cheapest price!
I have finally found my favorite pens for serving! I love pens. I am obsessed with them and I try everything. But while it's easy to find the nicest thickest ink pens, the ones I use when I'm home, and judge those...it's arguably much harder to find the "best cheap pen." I mean, a good ballpoint pen is hard to find, period! That's why I only use them when I have to. I have had a consistent issue when it comes to my job as a server in a restaurant. The pens that write nice and thick and smoothly (which they need to as I have <5 seconds to write down everything my guest is saying) then transfer ink onto my hands and onto my receipts and everything else in my book once I shut it. Still, I would rather take some messy ink transfer than be struggling to get out any ink in the first place and cramp up my hand from having to use so much pressure at a hard angle (as required by other ballpoint pens). This is why I have just been using nicer ballpoint pens and doing my best to mitigate the mess. Bottomline: I need ink to come out fast and dry fast and it's been a struggle Until I just happened upon one of these...and immediately rushed to order more! This is legitimately the first pen I have found that writes and produces ink as well as it does while simultaneously drying as fast as it does and therefore transferring ink as little as it does. While I don't know if I'll ever find a perfect balance, these pens are my new favorite. They last pretty well, especially for the price. They are very comfortable to hold and use - balancing weight, width, and size well. The biggest standout again, is how quickly they dry. I would be paying a lot more for these if I had to! My main complaint is that the bottom tip unscrews. Something that of course most pens can do (and something that is a problem for some pens more than others). It is pretty bad for these ones in particular. I haven't had one burst or fall apart; it's only as I'm writing the tip starts to unscrew and fall down and I have to quickly screw it back into place so it keeps working/producing ink. This happens a lot more when I'm using these pens vs. others. I would almost prefer them to dry out quicker vs. coming apart so quickly! I am putting them under a lot of stress though, as you can imagine. I don't think they would cause me nearly as much trouble otherwise.

Good, comfortable pens
I love these pens. The last batch lasted a LONG time, were comfortable to use and had good ink. I bought them again.

Best value around
Borrowed a pen from someone and liked it enough to inquire: as you can guess it was a zebra. For the price they’re a nice value compared to the bigger players in the pen market. I’ve bought several packs so I can have pens everywhere at my work.

Pas efficace
Etant gauchère, je cherche des stylos que ne me laisseront pas de taches d'encre. Ceux-ci en laissent et en plus arrêtent de fonctionner au bout de 2 ou 3 semaines. L'encre noire est intense c'est le seule point positif.
