Pilot Precise V5 Rollerball Pens, Extra Fine Point 0.5 mm Black Pen, Black, Pack of 12

I LOVE these pens! I write a lot in my office job, and I've become so obsessed with these pens, that they are literally the only ones I will write with anymore.They are incredibly smooth and easy to grip, sitting very comfortably in the hand. The writing quality is amazing. These are by far the best pens I've ever used.

Love these pens and the colors are amazing and the price is great!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Wanted pens that provide clear black characters, and do not blot. I picked this over Sharpie Gel which I cannot use without blotting. So far these Pilot pens seem good.

The packaging these pens came in was squished because they were shipped in an envelope instead of a hard box. The pens survived, so I don't really care. Some of the pens are spread throughout my house, but I believe 12 came in the package. This is a really good price for these pens compared to other amazon deals and brick-and-mortar stores.As for the pens themselves:PROSI love how they write. The ink comes out very smoothly, even compared to micron pens. It is nice and dark, but doesn't stain through paper. Even in cheap notebooks I can use both sides of the page with this pen. The ink is dark and doesn't fade over time. As a lefty, pens can smudge horrifically. The pens don't do that, and I write extremely quickly. The only time they smudge is when I go over a line several times to darken/bolden it and then immediately rub over it with my hand. I use these primarily to take notes during class. Compared to other pens, I feel like I write more quickly (due to the good ink flow) and more neatly (because the pen doesn't drag/catch on the paper). These pens have a very thin barrel compared to other pens, which I like. They don't feel heavy, and I feel comfortable writing with them for long periods of time. These are now the only pens I buy for writing purposes. I also like that I can see how much ink I have used in a window on the side.CONSWhen I took these pens in the airplane, something inside broke. This damage isn't noticeable until you start writing with them and the ink comes out much more quickly than usual.REGARDING THE COLOR (and other colors)The pens I got were all black, but as note for people looking into other colors:The red and green are great colors. The blue is nice and dark, but is more visible through the backside of the paper compared to the black. I can not write on both sides of cheap paper with the blue pens. The black is a really nice dark black.

Great roller ball. Always have used Pilot.

Love these pens! Only did 4 stars because they occasionally dry out after using for certain periods of time. They have great grip, comfortable to hold and it write amazing!

Oh, these pens are exactly what I wanted. I've been using this product for years and I was delighted to be stocking up again. I never use any other pen. I love the size. The pen fits my hand perfectly. These pens write dependably and the ink makes my writing look professional. These pens never fail to write clearly without blotting and buildup. It's a relief to have a package of them at hand. They really last so it may be quite a while before I need to repurchase.

I love really high quality pens, and since I write a lot (both by hand and also on a PC laptop computer), I am super picky about what kind of pen I use. These Pilot Precise V5 Stick Rolling Ball Pens are simply my go-to favorites. I keep trying less expensive kinds and different styles, but I ALWAYS come back around to these. Even the ones that try to be a knock-off of these still don't nail it completely with their quality and consistency. Their precision and the way the ink flows with these are simply the best for this price range. While I also own much fancier and more expensive pens that I love (a Waterman, for example - and I LOVE MontBlanc), those aren't practical on a daily basis when you're writing large amounts of stuff.These are the kinds of pens I have to guard with my life, because they conveniently disappear amongst my other family members and friends. I've bought huge packs of them before, and someone is ALWAYS trying to swipe them! I love these better than most gel pens (although I like those too at times), as they don't dump as much ink as you're writing. It's much finer and more precise, and they feel sturdy and consistent in the hand each and every time I use them.Overall, these are my favorite pens to use that won't bust my bank, and almost have a "fountain pen" pointy feel to them (even though they're clearly a rolling ball). Love these after using them for 15+ years! Two thumbs up!
