LOVE THESE PENS!
LOVE THESE PENS! Not gloppy, smooth writing. This is the only pen i used to keep detailed daily notes on my calendar in 2x2“ squares b/c i could write tiny and still read it clearly. For most people they are long lasting. The only other thing that might be awesome is a box of mostly blue, a couple of black and one red. They might offer this but i have not looked.

These are no clicker pens
Wanted the clicker, didn't realize these were just the stick pens. Still a great product as always. Don't ever stop making these pens

Long-Time favorite!
I love gel pens, don't get me wrong, but sometimes you just need a great ball-point pen! The Better Ballpoint pen by Pilot has been my favorite ballpoint pen for over 20 years. And I'm very very picky about my pens. Works great with moleskines without bleed-through, in tight spaces where you want fine control over your writing, and in certain types of very-thin-papered books. Also, a great pen for writing tiny notes in the empty spaces in books, or if you need to mark up a galley/proof copy of a book -- the red Better Ballpoint Pen is peerless! Writes easily and smoothly without pressing hard, doesn't skip, comes in many colors, comes in an incredibly thin extra-fine... I can't say enough good things about this pen! I'm so glad I can still get it.

This pen is excellent for writing tiny letters/numbers in a small space with minimal skipping. I have used the red and the blue for years. The price was good and it was delivered quickly - a day or two earlier than the projected delivery date.

These are the best pens ever! They glide on paper and is very light. The only problem with these pens though is that you can't drop them, based on my long experience with these pens. I think when you drop them, the ball just goes misaligned and the writing just won't look the same. It'll still write but not as good as when you first write with it. Other than that, this is the most reliable pen that you could ever have. UPDATE: Show of my pens. The money you pay for each pen is worth it. I got the inks of my pen almost to the ballpoint tip. That’s how good this pen is. The quality of writing did not diminish the longer the use.
