PILOT G2 Premium Rolling Ball Gel Pens, 0.5mm, Green Ink, 12-Pack

Great, mother loves these super fine pens! The green is a cute color and they write auper smooth! Just dont drop them on the rolling ball or you'll have a mess 😅

These are my favorite cheap pens to write with. I always carry at least two. My hand script is a bit artistic. I use it to record how I am feeling and how my thoughts are flowing as I write. We all do, I suppose, I just like to take note of it. I thoroughly enjoy the feel of a pen tip moving smoothly across paper. I like to feel the texture of the paper through the pen. I like the pen to record starts and stops accurately with variations of pressure. These pens allow all of that, and are very comfortable to use for long periods of time. The reason I prefer a bold point (1.0mm line thickness) to the extra fine point is feel. The extra fine point feels a bit like you're scratching into the paper. Sometimes it even does just that. The feel of the bold point is much more fluid. I do enjoy the increased dexterity of a fine point when I am trying to cram something into a margin, but I much prefer to avoid that altogether. Still, the bold point does end up drawing blotted letter-shapes that are sometimes illegible when too small. The fine point remains clear with very small writing and detailed drawing. Because of the placement and opacity of the squishy-comfort-grip-thing, you can't visually tell when one of these pens is running out of ink. You can only tell because the pen that has served you faithfully throughout it's whole life without a hiccup is starting to sputter in its throws of death. When you get a few gaps in letters, you know you have just a few lines of script left before you can write no longer. There is only one other thing, in my experience, that can make this pen write poorly: oil. When I use them to make a note on my hand (yeah, I'm one of those, at least when I catch myself with a paperless thought...) the oil from my skin gives them pause. It takes a short scribble session on a scrap piece of paper to get them going again. The same thing can happen if I am working with a single sheet of paper over an extended period of time and building up hand oil on the paper by spinning the paper and writing a cloud of though in different directions wherever I can fit things in. I have oily skin. This may not be a problem for you at all. If it is, these are still the best (cheap) pens made. Perhaps by that same magic, these pens are very forgiving in the laundry. One of my previous favorites was the Pilot Precise series. They were a proud predecessor with liquid ink instead of gel. Leave one in your pocket as your pocket goes into the wash, and you will lose most if not every garment in the load. The G2s seem to shut themselves off. The first few times I found one rattling around as I transitioned clothes to the dryer, my heart jumped, but no damage was done. Results may vary. Very cool.

Pens you will enjoy using. The quality is good. Would buy them again.

My favorite pens! Write well and smooth

Excellent find point pens!! Hands down my favorite pen to use. They don't run/smudge or ever leak and I love that. This has been my go-to pen for years. Very long lasting and amazing value for the cost. Very easy to use. Sharp precision for writing.

I've been using the Pilot G2 Extra Fine Point for over a decade now. It has been a good workhorse pen, and I previously believed that it was by far the best economical pen in existence. When it works, it works beautifully. The writing is smooth, dark and precise. But it doesn't always work. Sometimes it leaks at the bottom, which hasn't been too bad as it just collects at the bottom of the pen and doesn't spill out to make a mess. The more troublesome defect is when the ink doesn't flow, and you just get a light and difficult to read writing. These problems seem to occur around 20% of the time. I still have around 10 of these pens and will continue to use them, but I will no longer be buying G2's. There are other pens that are just as economical but are superior writing instruments. I won't name them here out of respect for an old friend. But I will say that I have not been using my new pens long enough to declare them to be more reliable, but they are better writers. Maybe one day I will come back to the G2 if the other pens prove to be defective.

Been a huge fan of the Pilot G2 series for a while. Spent most of my time using the 07 series. However recently switching over to a finer tip. 05 serves it purpose.

My favorite color's green since I was two years old. My Engineering Physics professor at my community college used these green pens to grade students' assignments all year long, so I decided to buy them. However, I couldn't really find these in stores like Office Depot, Fred Meyer and OfficeMax. I wish they have them at Office Depot, OfficeMax, and other school/office supplies stores. Fortunately, I ordered them from Amazon.com a few days before St. Patrick's Day (March 17). When I got home from my university, they finally arrived, so I was very happy to see them in the package!!! :) I also bought these lovely green ink pens previously (since I got my first physics assignment graded in green in college) at the Clark College Bookstore and I used them on handwritten homework assignments, school projects, lab results, deposit slips, writing checks, taking notes, signatures, personalization, and even professional and business documents!!! They even photocopy well and readable by fax machines and scanners, so they're good alternatives to black pens. Besides, the ink comes out to be about pure traffic light green, and writing doesn't even skip. And finally, I can even get refills, but I can't find them from stores, so I can only get refills from the Pilot website. If I'm gonna help correcting students' assignments in March, I'll do them in these colors until St. Patrick's Day. It's even calmer and more colorful than red, too! My summarized list: Pros: +Pure traffic light green +Ink color is dark enough, so it photocopies well +Great for school, writing checks, and even official forms and documents +Nice for teachers to grade and correct students' homework +Refillable (but cartridges can only be ordered online) +Long-lasting per cartridge +Skip-free +Very reliable Cons: -Cannot be found in stores (I hope they will someday) Conclusion: I highly recommend these to my family, my friends, and even to my teachers!!! :)

Don't buy this. The writing quality is very bad and all the pens write exactly like in the attached pic. Don't believe the reviews.

My friends recommended me to use this pen for school and work, it is very good! Very smooth! Highly recommend!

La pluma escribe muy suave y es muy fiable (el que no pinte de repente o que se corra lo que escribes es extremadamente raro). te acostumbras a su uso además de que su tono tiene muy buen contraste en la hoja.

Caja de empaque dañada , llegaron 10 plumas en vez de 12

le penne scrivono in modo un po' discontinuo, specialmente se si scrive formando un angolo inferiore a 45° tra il foglio e la penna, quindi a volte si dovrà ripassare sulle parole scritte in precedenza. Non so se è un problema delle 0.5 o in generale delle G2. Il pacco è arrivato aperto e abbastanza danneggiato, ma le penne sono 12 e con il livello di inchiostro corretto. Pro: anche con una piccola pressione l'inchiostro non tenderà mai al grigio e quindi la pagina risulterà molto uniforme.
