Pilot, G2 Premium Gel Roller Pen, Fine Point 0.7 mm, Black

I've used the basic G2 pens for years (their gel ink lets me write all day without getting hand cramps the way I do with regular ballpoints). On a bit of a lark, when I was purchasing some G2 refills, I decided to get a G2 Limited and a G2 Pro at the same time. How they compare (also, see the user photo I've attached to this listing): Regular G2 -- writes well and smoothly, under $2 each if you buy a dozen G2 Pro (this pen) -- a bit thicker, heavier, more padding in the grip, under $3 G2 Limited -- about the same thickness as the G2 Pro, considerably heavier, better finish / metal (vs. plastic) clip, much "squishier" grip (but not to the "Dr. Grip" level), about $11 Personally, I go back & forth between the Pro and Limited as to which is my "favorite." The G2 Limited is nicer looking (might be important in some offices), and has a nice heft, more expensive than the rest -- but still a bargain compared to the "usual suspects" of fancy pens. The G2 Pro is sufficiently professional looking for most offices, still has a good heft to it, and has a grip that's padded -- but not excessively (to my tastes). So I guess the choice comes down to how much weight, how much padding, and how much eye appeal you're looking for. As I mentioned, I've used G2 pens for years and never had one break on me -- I'm still using some on their 3rd and 4th refill. So, tough to go wrong with them! Get a Pro or a Limited (as a function of your taste), then buy it refills for years.

They are great pens! I was helping my elderly sister move to a smaller place and lost my pens during all the shuffle. Now I have two new ones. Only the shipping was delayed from what was expected and that falls on Amazon making promises that they can't keep anymore!

Great pen writes smooth

These Pilot pens, whether gel or ball point, are superb, the best on the market. To find a seller who has them for a good price is always a big plus.

It's not the seller's fault that the quality of the pen has decreased. I have an older pen that looks expensive. This does not. For ergonomics it's fine.

These really are the bees knees as far as pens go in my opinion. The grip on these make them particularly easy to hold, especially for long-periods of writing. I notice older folks who borrow my pen comment in particular on the grip as well as how easily the ink dispenses so fluidly. The only drawback I can think of is that the ink needs to dry for a moment before it stops being smudgable, particularly on some glossy and or treated paper. Allow some dry time, and you're happy! The barrels are quite durable and it is easy to replace the ink cartridges (PRO TIP: I found these to be a good deal https://amzn.to/3KNlwEY ) thus the longevity and overall value for money of these pens is quite good. Happy writing!

I’ve been using the r,egular G2 pens & like them. Only issue is the pocket clips. I usually clip mine on a note pad between several sheets & most of them have snapped off. This version appears to have a more robust clip, so kingers crossed!

The Pilot Dr. Grip G2 Gel Pen feels great in hand—well-shaped, comfortably cushioned, and easy to write with for long periods. The balance is decent, though not quite as refined as center of gravity pens. My only gripe is that the ink skips a bit more than I’d like, though it dries quickly and doesn’t smudge or bleed. Overall, a solid, comfortable pen that performs well despite ink flow issues.
