Schneider Slider Rave XB (Extra Broad) Ballpoint Pens, Refillable + Retractable, 1.4 mm, Light Blue Barrel, Blue Ink, Box of 5 Pens (132503)

I used a fountain pen previously: I have to fill out a lot of depositions and these must be hand-written. My writing bites, so the fountain pen helped a lot. But, all of the fountain pens leak. I carry a pen with me and def could not do so with the fountain pen. I saw the reviews on Schneider pens so bought a few. I'M HOOKED!! They write very well, are super comfortable to hold, and fit nicely in the pocket and look good. They DO NOT leak. The blue part in the pic is solid and a little grippy, but not soft enough to come apart, really a perfect grip.Now, they are a bit different. The ball is wider than most, and I never liked this in the past. BUT, the control the pen lends when writing is incredible, so now I love this ball point size. My writing is better with this pen than even with the fountain pens I used in the past that were always the easiest for me. Also, the pens are very solidly made and replacement ink cartridges would, for sure, be worth the expense, and I feel with most cheaply-made pens this would not be worth the cost. These pens rock.

Nice pens. Have worked well.

The Schneider extra bold pen provides a consistently smooth and bold writing experience. The ink flows effortlessly, creating clean, defined lines. The ergonomic design ensures comfortable writing for extended periods. The durable tip maintains its shape and precision over time. The vibrant ink colors add a touch of personality to my writing. This pen has become my favorite for notes, drawings, and everyday writing tasks.

I picked up a Schneider pen from some random source and I loved the way it wrote. It was a version with a removable cap which made it less convenient. So I ordered these ballpoint versions and they are awesome. They make writing so much more enjoyable. They aren’t the cheapest alternative, but they are worth the money.

I have a pen addiction, freely admitted. I also have arthritis and carpal tunnel with an unsuccessful surgery to prove it.Needless to say no matter what I write with, how I hold the pen, whatever kind of pen it is or what I do, I always have pain. I always have cramping.I simply ordered these because I like the rubberized finish on pens. It makes them easier to hold, but I was not holding out for any kind of great results for anything. I expected nothing. Nothing ever helps me….except THESE!!!!!!Now granted, these are not a miracle cure for hand problems, BUT I did catch myself writing longer and with less hand fatigue than anything I have tried, and folks, I’ve tried them all. Grippy, non-grippy, fat, contoured, heavy, skinny…EV-ERY-THING.I actually kind of surprised myself when I got to the bottom of a full sheet of paper, and my writing was legible, it all looked the same, and I had miraculously written an entire page with very little discomfort. That hasn’t happened in a very, very long time.The ink is so unbelievably smooth. Almost no friction on paper at all. You would almost not believe the pen was touching the paper, unless you looked to make sure you were leaving a line behind.I purchased these in June and decided to wait until October to write this review in case the effects wore off. They didn’t. As I type this, I have now added six more 5 count packages to my cart. Granted, that’s a lot of money, but now that I found something that works, I have to make sure that I have a supply. It seems like companies change designs all the time. I can’t afford to lose this.If you decide to buy these, I hope you have the most amazing results like I did. If you are in the same boat, as I am, you understand how terrible it is. Watching other people write constantly page after page, and me not being able to get through a few lines without shaking my hands. Well, that’s not me anymore and I hope it works for you.

I can't help it! Like most people, I have a favorite, comfortable pen (or 20)!!! I recently purchased these pens due to other reviews. I wanted a comfortable grip, wider than a stick pen, but not like a jumbo crayon! Needed to be a smooth glide, PLEASE, no scratching sounds from the paper contact! I also didn't want to spend a lot! This pen hits every one of my wants!Each ok. holds 5 pens. The cost was $3.13 each. The grip is smooth blue, slightly rubberized feel with the barrel at the grip being a little wider for comfort! Point is bold, but not smudgy! Smooth, clean writing lines! Really comfortable!

I bought these because I’m a pen snob. The type of person that only lets people borrow pens that I don’t like. If I only have my good pens on me, I tell them I don’t have one. Cause they steal them. Anyway, I digress. Wonderful pen if you’re looking for a smooth writer. But the ink flow isn’t good. It’s a ball point pen. Not a rollergel. If they had this pen’s smoothness with the ink flow of an energel or pilot v7 or v10, even a G2, I would be sold and this would be my new favorite pen. I’m looking through their rollergel line to see if I can find one that will be my endgame pens. But after $25 for these I’m cautious. For now, these go in the the loan out pocket.

Smoothest ink pen I have ever written with. They are amazing.
