I'm not a fan honestly. They're fine, but they're not all that smooth for exams (I prefer ballpoint for fast writing, plus the barrel slips cause there's no grip as qweeosh said), and they're only really good for writing neat notes. Some people love them though, so it's up to u. If u like inky pens, maybe the smooth writing ink from Muji could work?

yeah I like inky pens but not too inky. For me ballpoint pens require a lot more pressure which is harder but what ones do you use?

 

[Bendwhat?_over]

what do u recommend then. I prefer kinda inky pens

I can't remember too well if they were very inky, but I... Ahem... obtained some nice oil-based pens from Daiso a while ago.

I rlly like uniball jetstream pens because they're super smooth and inkier than most ballpoint pens. They're sorta expensive unless u buy value packs though. I honestly recommend going to officeworks and trying out the different pens on the spot - I was struggling to find a suitable pen beforehand, too

oh yeah I have them. They like alright but I want something that isn't too inky but also doesn't require me to put that much pressure. Idk I'm always looking for a pen that's even better lol

have u tried rollerball pens?

 

[Study to success]

have u tried rollerball pens?

nope. Which ones do u recommend? Also I'm gonna need to find a non gel pen eventually cause I can't use it in the hsc

 

[its_ace21]

ive only tried the uniball eye fine and the dats one, theyre both nice imo but theyre rlly easy to smudge so u gotta be careful

Ok so I'm dumb and I realised that jetstream is a rollerball pen. No wonder it's so smooth. But yeah, uniball makes good rollerball pens

wait I found this a value pack on office works that's $10 which is pretty good

Yeahhh eye is great, but I actually found that it was a bit tooo inky and bled through thinner pages. It's also pretty thick. Good for exams though

wait I found this a value pack on office works that's $10 which is pretty good

Yep that's the one that I have, but I think u should try out the single before getting 10 lolol

(I should mention that the clicky jetstream pen versions are arguably a bit better than the standard capped ones in the 10 pack, but a lot more pricey)

whattt i used pentel energel gel pens for all my hsc exams, ive never found a smoother pen since

 

[qweeosh]

what do u recommend then. I prefer kinda inky pens

I use M&G pens which are from a company in china but I don't think they're easy to get unless you have a taobao account or something. Otherwise the pilot G-2 is pretty good.

they are too heavy and slow you down. they are smoother but not if you need to write 15 pages in 45 minutes
