PILOTDr. Grip Limited Refillable & Retractable Gel Ink Rolling Ball Pen, Fine Point, Metallic Charcoal Gray Barrel, Black Ink, Single Pen (36270)

Okay, so I’m absolutely in love with this pen. It’s smooth like butter on toast—like writing with a cloud that’s had a few too many lattes. Seriously, if pens were people, this one would be the cool friend who always knows how to have a good time without making you work for it. The ink dries quickly so it won’t rub away like most gel pens, I love that it can be refilled. Love love love!I love it so much, I bought one for my daughter’s teacher. Because nothing says “You’re appreciated” like a pen that keeps your hand from cramping up while you grade papers for hours. I’m pretty sure the teacher will be thanking me for saving her wrist—and honestly, I’m expecting a thank-you card for my thoughtfulness.If you deal with any sort of writing fatigue (hello, adulting), this pen is a game changer. It’ll have you writing love letters to your to-do list in no time. Highly recommend!

This pen is the best pen I have ever used. I am left-handed and like fine-point pens. I also do not like cheap pens. I have been using this pen for many years and buy ink refills for it. I love the silicone grip and the way it feels in my hand when I am using it. I have three of them and they are the only pens I use. They may seem a bit spendy, but the quality is worth it; the first one I purchased has lasted me for many years. They are worth the money. Love them! I would like to mention that you should not purchase the "extra fine point"; it rips paper and is too fine.

RA & Osteoarthritis - I have difficulty writing because some of my fingers are disfigured, but I enjoy journaling and taking notes from my studies. This pen has helped me tremendously as I don't have to press hard. As a result I can write longer without fatigue.It occasionally skips, as some reviews have stated but not often with the amount of writing I've done. Also, it doesn't smudge, the gel ink dries quickly. One thing you cannot do is write checks because it can't press down hard, which is why it's so comfortable for arthritic hands.BTW I have small hands and am able to hold pen to write without discomfort.

Very good quality, comfortable writing for those with arthritic hands. Also can buy refills. Doesn't blob up ink like cheap Bic pens. Writes very smoothly.

Great pen, but I found that the ink wore out pretty fast, but overall it’s an amazing pen.

The thick, soft grip feels great and helps delay or completely prevents the numbness I sometimes get quickly from using thinner ones. I would have liked a little more smoothness in the ink. A couple times the angle of the point affected the smoothness more than I’d have liked. Overall, GREAT pen though.

I use this pen daily. Given the arthritis in my hands, this pen is easy to hold and makes writing a pleasure.

The grip is large enough to relieve arthritis pain in my thumb while I am writing. Ink doesn't cause much of a drag on the paper, as it's a regular ink pen.
