Uni Jetstream 0.5 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen and 0.5 mm Pencil, Bordeaux Body (MSXE510005.65)

Pen writes very smooth and the colors are vibrant, not dull like other multicolor pens.

Nice to have back up pens and pencil when on the factory floor and a back up pen is a 100 yards away all in one and very comfortable in the hand

I'm currently a student and I just wanted a multi-pen to take better notes. My teachers tend to speak fast and switching between pens is cumbersome. I didn't want to settle for boring pencil-only notes so I thought buying a multi-pen was a good choice for me. The overall build is nice. It feels solid. The grip and the upper portion of the pen are made of metal. Definitely feels nice and as a good wight to the pen. Not so much weight it feels uncomfortable to write with but a decent solid feeling. The grip is nothing special it's average and gets the job done. However, the wider body does make writing a bit more enjoyable and I like the extra control I get due to it. As for the performance of the pen/pencil, they're all decent. All of the pens seem smooth and flow relatively nicely. They've only felt "scratchy" and skipped a couple of times during writing but not to the point where it's bothersome. In all honesty, the performance of the pen could easily be matched by a standard pilot G2 pen. The mechanical pencil portion is again good nothing to write home about but it's comfortable and gets the job done. In summary, this pencil does a lot of things really well. However, it doesn't exceed my expectations. It nice solid overall multi-pen. If you really needed a multip pen this is a definite solid choice.

I am a pan fanatic so I’m really picky when it comes to buying pens that will do the job, is multi-use, helps my handwriting to look neat and is comfortable. Most of the times these types of pens are expensive. Since I am a student, I have to buy pens that are within my budget. This pan has been my favorite pan for the past two years. I love that I can use different colors and even use it as pencil. So if you’re looking for a pen that is versatile and within your budget, this is the pen.

Very sad to say but this product is very flimsy and bulky. For >$10 per single pen 🖊 i had higher expectations for its quality. This product did not meet my expectations. Will not buy again

Ran out of ink real quick. Only used it for a month.

I teach school, high school math. I need a pencil to work out problems, a red pen to grade, and a blue pen to sign special ed papers. Smooth writing, right colors, just a good tool.

I was looking for a 4-in-1 pen to replace the one that I had lying around my house (how I came across it in the first place, I have no idea). This pen is much better in all regards - the build quality is fantastic, the finish is beautiful and smooth with a very slight metallic paint look, and it's also a mechanical pencil! All in a package that doesn't feel overly heavy or too thick to hold. The rubber grip is firm, not mushy and grips well. The color selection levers are extremely sleek, giving it a more streamlined look. The pencil is selected by pushing down on the clip as the 5th lever.What I've learned after ordering the pen is that the Uniball Jetstream line is one of the most recommended everyday/daily use pens by pen enthusiasts/reviewers (feel free to Google something along the lines of "pen review Jetstream"). The ink is very fast drying, which is great for lefties (I'm a righty that still ends up smudging ink sometimes), incredibly smoothly, and is dense enough to give the color a solid not-faint look. In order to test the dry time, I did the very unscientific test of drawing a line across a page with a finger trailing as closely behind the pen tip as possible - no smudging.To me, the pen has the colors and writing smoothness of a gel ink pen while being a ballpoint pen with. This is probably the first pen I've bought (unlike all the free ones from hotels, conferences, etc.) in over 10 years and I'm pretty happy with it. Is there another pen out there that's better for you? Maybe. Without testing a bunch at a time, I haven't found a reason to not want to use this pen. The only wavering thought is if I should have gotten the 0.7mm pen instead for slightly thicker lines (all the cheap free pens put down a much thicker line that I've gotten used to).A few extremely minor gripes:1) The top of the pen is a cap that holds an eraser for the mechanical pencil (though lead refills do not go through the top) and looks like it doesn't quite match the color of the pen barrel. It has holes at the top in a 5-petal flower-like pattern and just has a cheaper feel to it.2) The color selection levers don't lock and will pop back up immediately if you swipe them down quickly and lightly. You have to swipe downward, and push inward slightly to get the lever to lock.3) In order to replace the pens, you have to unscrew the barrel and pull out the specific color you're replacing, which is fine. Unfortunately in order to add pencil lead (it came with 3 as far as I can tell) you have to do the same thing, which caused the extra 2 lead sticks to go flying the instant I pulled the lower half of the pencil barrel away from the body. I can't imagine having to do this during a test or time-critical assignment, so be careful when refilling the pencil lead!
