SchneiderRay Cartridge Rollerball Pen M (Medium), Refillable, Onyx Barrel, Royal Blue Erasable Ink Cartridge, Pack of 1 Pen (187807)

This is a great rollerball pen. I have tried a number of rollerballs that use fountain pen ink and this is the only one that I have tried that writes smoothly and is comfortable in the hand The price is also great.Definitely worth trying!

I had the same type of pen made by another company and the quality of this pen is far superior. I've been writing with this pen for about a year now, and it performs consistently, is comfortable, and allows me to use all kinds of interesting inks.

I have been looking for a pen like this for some time now. My refillables fit it well, and TIGHT seal. Had an old refill cart fail on me and I had no clue till I opened it.Wonderfully built, writes smooth, great grip. But a few, it's worth it to have them around.

The fact that this can take a standard international fountain pen cartridge or converter makes this a versatile pen for a decent price. It can be refilled with any of hundreds of common fountain pen inks, which also means the pen isn't as wasteful as disposable pens. I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of this pen, but it's fine for the office. It has a triangular shaped grip, which doesn't bother me too much, but some people might find the grip awkward. I do like that the rollerball unit is like a normal pen tip, unlike the hooded design of the Noodler's rollerball. If I had to suggest an improvement for the Schneider, it would be to provide a more conventional pen shape without the triangular grip, and with simpler, less gaudy aesthetics.

I got this for when I needed to use a ballpoint, but wanted to run my fountain pen inks. I really like it. While it's not the same experience writing with a fountain pen, it allows you to use the inks you have on hand.It comes with a cartridge that is wedged in the top of the pen and an empty cartridge you can use to fill the pen up. You can also get the Monteverde mini converter too. I just use a syringe and fill the empty cartridge. But I also tried the mini converter too. Either way is fine. One thing I do like about using the empty cartridge and filling it up, is that you can leave the filled sealed cartridge in the pen and not have to worry about the attached cartridge popping off inside of the barrel causing a giant mess. It fills the empty void behind it. You could also use it as an emergency ink storage too. Really ingenious idea!It writes very well, and I'm happy with it. I'm currently running the Rohrer and Klingner Leipziger-Schwarz and the pen performs excellent. Cannot ask for anything more! I really wish more manufacturers would get on the bandwagon. This is a great idea and very eco-friendly.

This Schneider Ray Cartridge Rollerball Pen is an excellent rollerball pen that uses fountain pen ink. It takes standard international ink cartridges, and a standard international ink converter. I use a Pelikan ink converter with Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher ink. I simply dip the tip into the ink bottle and fill it as I would a fountain pen. It writes a wet, crisp line without any ink flow problems. I give this pen my highest recommendation. For those who wish to secure the barrel closed, try a few drops of Loctite on the threads. This will secure the barrel in-between ink refills, while allowing the barrel to be opened to replace the ink as needed.

I collected fine fountain pens for years (Montblanc, Waterman, Faber-Castell, etc.) but got tired of having ink-stained fingers all the time and eventually sold most of them and transitioned to rollerballs. Unfortunately, I had hundreds of fountain pen ink cartridges left over in a huge range of my favorite gorgeous colors. This rollerball solves the problem! It takes standard fountain pen cartridges and writes with the smooth luxury of a fountain pen with NO mess. Thank you Schneider! And thank you to the seller, Joe at Passion4Pens.com. The pen arrived MUCH faster than the Amazon estimate. Great experience all around.

I've been trying for 2 days to get the pen to write. Somehow it's not getting ink, and yes, I put ink in the cartridge. Don't buy this pen or you will curse so bad a longshoreman would blush.
