these are my favorite pens. dark matte ink that doesn’t bleed or smear? sign me up! very fun and easy to write with, great value for the money. these are just the best.

For me, the best writing pen available. Sometimes hard to find. The only pens I run out of ink with because they are my go-to writing tools. The color choices are outstanding. There is no leakage; they are sharp, and durability is probably their best feature. Moneywise is an excellent choice. Finding these particular ones are a challenge sometimes. I order extra for this reason.

SMOOTH AS CAN BE!! I'm a sucker for a good ink pen, and I believe I've found a new favorite🤩They dry quickly and don't smear or bleed through the paper. Top tier writing utensil.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was written with a G-2 pen. The only thing Thor’s hammer cannot crush? This pen! Harry Potter was only able to defeat He Who Shall Not Be Named because his wand contains a single Phoenix feather and also a G-2 Pen. When Navy Seals perform emergency tracheotomies in the heat of battle – they only use the shaft of the G-2. And no matter how intense the fight becomes – No G-2 is left behind! When Rambo writes love letters to his knife – what does he use? The G-2. Yo momma’s like a Pilot G-2. …Everybody wants to get their hands on her. Kevin Costner didn’t have gills in Waterworld. He was just snorkeling with a G-2 pen. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to a G-2 pen! And with the G-2, no more chicken scratch – just beautiful calligraphy. Why won’t Donald Trump change his hair style? Because that is where he hides his golden G-2! Where have all the cowboys gone? They’re in Office Depot doodling on tiny paper scraps with sample G-2s. What is truly in Area 51? The Ark of the Covenant filled with G-2 pens. That's why you die if you touch the Ark. NOBODY steals God's G-2s! Captain Hook's favorite hand replacement? His G-2 attachment. How did Stevie Wonder go blind? He looked directly at the shimmering glory of the G-2 pen. How did Houdini pull off the impossible so many times? The answer was always a G-2. Little Known Fact: When Ghandi died he had only 10 possessions. 9 of them were Pilot G-2s and the 10th was a tracking number for ink refills from Amazon. Stephen Hawking can actually talk. He's just speechless after experiencing the unmatched brilliance of the G-2. What was the secret behind Mother Theresa's kindness, enlightenment, and peaceful tranquility? She owned a Pilot G-2. Why isn't Tony Stark content with his billions of dollars? Because he has not been able to invent the G3. The G-2 is virtual perfection!While there is a lot of sarcasm above, I truly do love the Pilot G-2. I write a great deal and have taken the time to compare a large number of pens (see the pictures attached). The Pilot G-2 consistently stands out as one of the very best. It is inexpensive and economical as the refills reduce waste & save money.The needle tip Pilot pens in the photos write more smoothly, but none of them are as comfortable, well balanced, or as versatile as the G-2. After testing all of these pens side by side, I have noticed that the thinner the tip of a pen is - the scratchier it feels to write with. This is why I prefer the G-2 with the 0.7mm tip (which seems to be the most common). Also, I have had issues with the needle tips breaking which spills ink and makes a mess. Even in the pressure change on an airplane doesn't cause problems with the G-2.If you are left handed, the G-2 works quite well - although the ink can smear on fine or glossy paper. (See the smear test in the photos.)I absolutely recommend that everyone give the G-2 a shot. Just keep an eye on them. They tend to frequently "walk away".PROS:- Comfortable rubber grip- Balanced weight- Writes smooth & precise lines- Does not bleed through paper- Works well with carbon paper or duplicate checks (appropriate pressure is applied to produce a duplicate image on the 2nd sheet)- Ink dries quickly- Gel Ink does not leak when pen is shaken- Strong yet flexible clip- The pen is clear allowing you to see when you are running out of ink.- Can hold modified Mont Blanc Rollerball refills (do a quick web search for "G2 Mont Blanc")- Refillable- Ink refills reduce waste & cost less than a new G-2 pen- No cap that can fall off or get lost- As there is no cap the pen can be picked up, opened, used, and closed with only one hand.

I love this pen. It’s quick drying, smooth to write, and feels great. My problem with it is that every pen, to me, seems different. I have used these pens for more than a year now. As a student that uses these for note taking in high-school, they’re quite reliable however, each time you open a pen it feels different. Each pen has its own strengths and weaknesses such as thicker lines, or thinner lines. Some pens even altogether don’t work, but the ones that do make up for it. I am quite sad whenever my main pen runs out of ink because of the variability of these pens. Overall, great pens, I feel it brings out my best handwriting for assignments and note taking. I really do enjoy using this, besides the variability. (Please ignore the content and handwriting of the papers, I just thought they would help see how writing looked)

-Perfect for left handed writing-Actually dries basically instantly-smooth, inky writingLefties rejoice! Perfect for left handed people. Growing up, I always got a sore hand if I wrote for extended periods. It wasn't until adulthood that I found out that that's common for lefties because you have to push the pen rather than pull it, and with less than great pens, it makes it even worse because to have to push harder. After looking into it, I read in multiple places that the Uniball Jetstream was the best for lefties. For comparison, the glide of the Uniball is better than most pens, but the ink isn't very dark or the most consistent. These pens are waaay better.With a lot of pens (especially the dreaded gel pen), "quick drying" ink is a lie. It'll dry of course, but not quick enough for a leftie--either they smear on the page, or even if they don't they still get ink on the side of your hand. These actually dry like amazingly instantly. I even just started writing scribbles just to get my hand on the ink immediately...and no SMEARING. or ink transfer. :OAnd with many pens, they advertise smooth ink flow, but lefties need particularly smooth since, again, they're pushing rather than gliding/pulling. That's why gel pens have always been my favorite to use but the bane of the side of my hand's existence. But these give you the dark, flowey/gliding, consistent ink that you really need.Obviously, they would then also be great for righties. c;I will say one of the pens had start/stop ink, so I'll have to return and exchange, but other than that, amazing!

I've been looking for a gel pen that always writes smooth and never skips. These have become my fave go to after trying countless other brands!
