Value for money

It's better

The media could not be loaded.  Amazon should please remove this pen from the market. What a waste of money

Truly a mate to paper as it's a joy writing with these pens. The price and the packaging was superb. Totally worth it

Great product. Better than nice round stic extra life ballpoint pen. Quality product.

Must be quite old or badly stored. Was not prepared to spend about 15 mins trying to get the ink running before using each pen, so chucked most. None worked immediately and needed a lot of scribbling or heat.The pen itself is good, but I'll purchase elsewhere.

I was surprised to learn that Paper Mate finally decided to update the venerable Write Bros. stick pen. The old design had been around for decades and is an archetype for capped ballpoint pens.As noted on the packaging, they have an "Upgraded Design" and "Improved Ink". These are things that people have been complaining about for years. The old version's skinny, hand-cramping barrels and blobby, stuttering ink flow were hallmarks of this design.However, as you can see in my photos, Paper Mate has given these pens a makeover. The old version's dimensions were 152 mm (overall length with cap) and 7.58 mm (width at midpoint of barrel). The new version is 144 mm long and 10.63 mm thick. This shorter, thicker design is more comfortable in the hand and leads to less fatigue if you're writing for an extended period of time.Meanwhile, the new ink formula feels smoother than the old ink. So far, I haven't experienced any ink stuttering and there hasn't been any blobbing, even when leaving the pen uncapped for a while.I can only think of two minor issues with the new design: 1) the barrel has a slight matte texture, but it's still a bit slippery; and 2) the new cap design doesn't feel as secure as the old cap. The new cap lightly clicks into place, unlike the old cap that could be pressed down firmly.And, of course, there's the old issue of refills (or lack thereof). That is, you still just toss them in the trash when they're empty. Hopefully, the new design also improved the longevity of these pens, as well.In conclusion, these pens are comfortable to hold, write smoothly, and are an excellent value due to the low price (currently $0.88 for ten pens through Amazon's Add-on Items program). Seems like a winner to me!

Completely dry ink, none of them work. I think their shelf life is well passed and they are still selling them. The ink is dry and fading. Dollar store ultra cheap pens work better. I thought being Paper Mate, you could get quality but this has disappointed me so much.

I purchased these pens as an add on item, to complete an order for free shippingThe pens feel comfortable, I write a great dealThe ink isn’t dried up, and has lasted quite a long time.I will be ordering more

These pens write decently but are fatter in diameter and the caps don't stay on the top of the pen while in use. Papermate says these pens are new and improved but really they are just cheaper. The old version of this pen which I thought I was getting, is far superior.
