Schneider Slider Memo XB (Extra Broad) Ballpoint Pen, 1.4 mm, Light Blue Barrel, Blue Ink, Box of 10 Pens (150203)

This review is now edited!here is my original review.========The pens arrived ok. I write a lot to a lady in England and she has trouble reading dim light black ink writing. I often write 6 to 10 pages in one letter. I was happy to read the pens are supposed to write a line 2.5 miles long.She loved the darker pen darker writing.HOWEVER!--- On computer printer paper, the pen often skipped part of a word. a whole part of, say, an "h" would not appear. Also, the pen felt like it was writing on sandpaper! there was no smooth writing. If I pressed down harder to make every letter appear, the "sandpaper" feel of the writing would only get much worse! Like writing *on* sandpaper!---I must have written two long letters and then the ink became very faint. I saw that the pen had run out of ink! the pen cartridge is clear so that I could obviously see that the pen had no ink. In only two letters and perhaps a bit of writing here and there, the pen was gone. 2.5 miles? not unless 15 to 25 sheets are made up of 2.5 miles of ink! At this rate, my nine pens left will be gone by spring!--Also. I tried writing on "college" lined paper. a thinner paper than of the computer printer paper. the blue ink showed quite clearly on the backside of the sheet, so much so that I could not write on that side without making a confusing mess! How could she even read that side, like there were two letters superimposed on each other and one letter was in mirror reverse!I must be someone with a two-star review, one of the few. maybe with certain types of paper and "light", short letters, this pen will shine. Not for my needs though!============My updated review. 5 stars!why?When I discovered that this pen ran out of ink, so quickly, I threw it out. Since my meal menu orders should be in an easy to read ink, I went back to the box to get another pen. At least these pens are good for that! the box contained 10 pens, there are 9 left, I removed another pen."WHAT!", I exclaimed to myself! This second pen was a different pen! It matched the image of the pen on the cover of the box. All nine remaining pens are the "correct" pen that I ordered.Somewhere a Mistake was made. I was reviewing the "mistake"! I will not fault the store as I think that my original order was for three pens! Mistakes are often made in packaging. I get a set of plastic "silverware" when my meal comes. Often there is a spoon or fork missing and even sometimes like two spoons! This in a sealed plastic wrapper with a napkin and salt/pepper.So then, later, I wrote another page of my current letter project to my penpal lady in England using this pen.what a difference. The pen writes smoothly, with no paper drag. The color is a bit lighter thus the ink might indeed last the advertised 2.8 miles. No bleed-through to the other side of the paper either. The pen felt good in my hand. I then upped my rating to five stars.freestone

These pens write so nicely! The pens are not very expensive but high quality. So much better than "Bic" pens. I'd definitely order them again.

These pens fit in your hand just right. Not too thin, not too thick. It writes smoothly. They seem to last a very long time. I bought a box & am still using the 1st pen I used. To me they are worth the cost.

One of the best writing pens for people with bear paw hands like myself. They are just a tad thicker than most pens without becoming too large. Great grip and ergonomically pleasant to hold. No cramping like I get from standard pens. They are also very smooth writing, the ink never stutters or clumps. A pleasure to write with.

These pens last forever ,never had one leak and they always write when I need them too.Best on the market

First time purchasing a Schneider pen. I was quite impressed. Very smooth writing and the ink flow was consistent. Comfortable grip and cap stays on tight. Wish the appearance was a little more professional looking but that’s just me. I would definitely recommend

branching out and trying out different brands and colors. While searching for pens I came across this pen set, as well as another pen set by the same company, and am more than happy that I did.Having a great quality pen is important to me since I write on a daily basis. The Slider Memo XB feels very comfortable to write with and I really like how the body of the pen is designed. The pen has a rubber coating which is my favorite since I am able to get a better grip and not have to worry about it slipping from my hand while I am writing.I really love how creamy and smooth these pens write. The pens do not smudge nor does the ink blotch the paper. I am impressed with how quickly the ink dries too. The pens by this company have quickly become my favorite! No matter what type of paper I am writing on these pens do not disappoint.These pens come packaged in a carrying pouch which makes it great for travel or storage. I purchased the blue, black and red pens and since I am very happy with my purchase I plan on buying the other colors offered. Very pleased with these pens and would recommend them for sure.

Feels very well to write with.

Ils glissent sur la feuille, pas besoin d'appuyer...le bonheur pour écrire

Like these pens. So comfortable to use.

Si te gusta que el trazo sea grueso y al escribir aprietas mucho el bolígrafo estos son para tí. Al ver la forma me gustaron pero al escribir me enamoré, se desliza muy suavemente por el papel y la tonta es de un negro intenso. Se convirtieron en mis bolígrafos favoritos

comprate a buon prezzo. solo una in cartoleria costa 5 euro

Great pens, but only got 9 instead of 10.
