Good, but not great
Decent enough pens. The fine tip doesn’t glide perfectly over paper though. Takes a bit to get used to.

I love the way these pens write. So neat and clean, just don’t run your fingers across it while writing.

These write *exceptionally* well, better than some of my more expensive pens
These pens actually write really well, some of the best ballpoint pens I've ever used. I really didn't expect such cheap pens to write better than some of my more expensive ones.

Good so far
Pens work well, haven't had any problems. Make sure to rub the nub off the tip before first use.

smooth but unreliable
These pens are only okay. they would be wonderful if they worked consistently, and if they lasted longer. I only get a few days, maybe a week of use out of them before they are completely out of ink. And they randomly stop working multiple times before they are completely out of ink. I don't know if it's air bubbles in the ink cartridge or something but they begin to get lighter and lighter until no ink is coming out and I have to scribble a bunch to work through it and get the ink flowing again. They write smoothly and are comfortable to grip, but I'm disappointed in their lack of reliability.

Does not last very long.
The ink doesn’t last very long. Sometimes stops writing and you have to scribble with it to get it writing again. The point is good size for med ink and fits well in the hand but I have to find something that is more consistent and lasts longer for daily use.

Bold and Smooth
This pen is so smooth it doesnt even feel like you're writing! It glides well on most paper. I also like the bolder look with the 1.4mm tip. I havent experiences much skipping if any at all, if anything there may be some streakiness but that may be because I press a little hard when writing...so that may be user error. Great non-gel pen for bold writers!
