I bought these pens for work: the pens write smoothly, they are easy to hold, and the color of the ink is nice too!

The ink does not last long...but what vibrant purple color.

This color is difficult to find in retail stores, and the price here isn't bad, especially if you have Amazon Prtime (free 2 day shipping!)

I love how fluid they write and the purple color is very pretty

I love these pens for their brilliant color and smooth writing.

After using a moderate (not hard) grip while writing with the pen for a few days to two weeks, a fracture will appear in that part of the pen

The pens have a good weight to them, and a comfortable rubber grip.

The grip is not particularly ergonomic, but it's comfortable enough.

Comfortable - Good grip, and it really just glides on the paper

Love the fact it has a nice grip and makes it more comfortable to write.

Loved the dark ink and smooth flow.

Like the smooth flowing ink and the bright vibrant blue color

I enjoy the fluid flow of the ink that seems to come out of a needle tip

Comfortable grip and super smooth flow of ink across the page.

She's NOT.I love the EnerGel's quick-drying ink, and smooth flow

I really like these pens over any other gel type, no bleeding, has a fine point, and they really write great.

I usually prefer very fine pointed pens, but for some reason I dislike the fine point on this one.

I really like these pens, the colors are vibrant, and fine point is just great, and I will be using them in my artwork

This is a really great fine point that the ink is consistent and doesn't smear.

These pens are fantastic if you want a very fine point while writing

This color is difficult to find in retail stores, and the price here isn't bad, especially if you have Amazon Prtime (free 2 day shipping!)

Love these pens and the price here is so much better than in the store.

and I like to use and this is the only way to purchase them at a reasonable price.

I love these pens and its such a great price compared to the store

I have given them to friends and they all agree that it is a good pen,at a very reasonable price.

The comfort feel of the pen in my hand makes what feels like hours of tedious hand written notes a lot less painful

Excellent writing pen, no smudges, drys very fast, clean.

To me and those I let "borrow" my pen, think they are very smooth writing pens.

The feel and grip of the pen is great, no slippage or discomfort from lengthy writing

The comfort feel of the pen in my hand makes what feels like hours of tedious hand written notes a lot less painful

Plus it writes in some funny gel ink

Why on earth are decent purple gel pens so hard

, 3 PackI was in need of some new pens and decided to give these Pentel EnerGel Deluxe RTX Retractable Liquid Gel Pen, 0.5mm, Needle Tip, Blue Ink

I really like these pens over any other gel type, no bleeding, has a fine point, and they really write great.

I'm very satisfied with this Pentel EnerGel Deluxe RTX Retractable Liquid Gel Pen, 0.5mm, Needle Tip, Blue Ink, 3 Pack

I'm a righty, but my handwriting is small and I hold a pen in a weird way that can sometimes lead to smudging

They are convenient, easy to use and I love the way they write

I love the way it writes, but now I can't use them at all.

Love the way it writes, I write big so the thin point helps it from getting too big

I have been using this particular pen model for a few years and love the way they write.

m tip gives you a nice fine line, and the retractable tip keeps my from getting ink all over my hands

They are 0.5mm for a fine, smooth line without being too wet or skippy.

and it delivers a very fine line - without scratching the paper!

The Uniball came very close and only had a bit more smear lines

my handwriting isn't the best, so i have found a thin line makes it less messy and more legible

The ink is smooth and black, dries quickly and looks great

Decent pens, the ink gets jammed up a lot and causes a lot of skipping

I can't even calculate how much money I have spent on these pens over the years because they do lose their ink rather rapidly

The ink doesn't smear all over like so many of the gel pens, mainly because the point is such a fine point

The ink dries relatively quickly compared to other gel pens and doesn't bleed through too easy.

Bought 3 more hopefully next batch is better.

I hope I just got a bad batch because I love Pentel pens, but these are TERRIBLE!!!!!

and it's my favorite type of pen (the Pentel Energel brand), but the ones I got must be a bad batch because they're all breaking.

This wasn't the first purchase that had this problem, so I don't think it was just one bad batch.

As a lefty and this is gel it does not smear as you are writing

I write really small and fast), and smooth even when writing furiously to keep up with the teacher. returning the pilot precise p-500 .05 extra fine tip blue and black 12-pack pens I bought

A couple tiny bleeding issues so far, but basically irrelevant

However, I've had a couple of failures because the pen body cracked at the connector.

no sharp, scratching that other gel tip nibs have, no inaccuracies and yet make your writing look nice, perfect fine line (comparable to the 0.7 feel of stability when writing, but more legible), minimal bleed-through, a nice little bit of give to the tip (unlike the uniball gel with a lid).I purchased a pack of these at Office Depot on a whim, because school's about to start and they were on sale

surfacesWell made - take a good bit of

A bit pricey but worth it!

Very nice pen to write with, feels very comfortable in the hand, but it does smear a bit.

When I saw the lone review for this pen, I had to try it, though I thought the reviewer might be exaggerating a bit

Got these pens in and they are awesome, I just love them they write so smoothly and very comfortable to hold good size barrel which is a plus for someone that has to take a lot of handwritten

I agree with other reviewers here, though, with the very high "barrel crack rate."

4 out of 5 barrels are cracked and I hardly ever used them.

Thicker barrel for more comfortable writing, and very smooth.

I'm a picky pen person that prefers a fine, clean line without smudging or blotching

Being a Virgo and a writer, I am the most difficult person to please when it comes to pens!!

I'm a sloppy, lazy person.

The pen feels very flimsy, like the plastic might break at any moment.

Great writing pens, horrible cheap plastic barrel that cracks and randomly shoots the metal end off

Have always loved these pens but now they are made of cheap plastic and the barrel cracks within just a few days of use.

The plastic cracks where one piece of the pen screws in to the other piece, so the back shoots off the pen while you're using it

The bodies are now falling apart on me, one after another

I have only had one body break, a crack along the screw threads that would cause the pen to spring apart during writing

The bodies are now falling apart on me, one after another

a specific.... body... part) is comfortable with extended (hah!) use

Specifically the needle point version because I write at odd angles, even as a right-y
