Paper Mate InkJoy 100ST Ballpoint Pens, (1.0mm ) Medium Point, Blue, Box of 12 (1951256)

People discriminate or don’t. They can use any old rickety, scratchy, non-ergonomic, no-feel, poor control pen or they can make this activity right from beginning to end. I don’t get people who take pens from work, or keep bad ones around. I’m alone in my own household: these people treat these pens like they’re nothing. They toss them in their bag, lose the cap (arrgh!), never return them. I can’t use what they leave behind, a motley crew of savage pens. I delight in throwing them away. So I RE-ordered these. Or maybe it was RE-RE-ordered. They’re smooth, they don’t skate away, the pen is secure in the hand, it doesn’t roll in the hand, it gets warm fast so it feels like an extension of you, ink doesn’t accumulate on the tip, it doesn’t smear, the point and writing are not too thin and not too thick. Great for taking notes, signing. And they’re not expensive. These are a revelation in pens. I have them stationed throughout the house, in my backpack, in my vehicles. A necessary tool.

I like the feel, price and writing of these pens. The medium point is the best thickness

These are nice pens and seem to last a long time. Hoping that Paper Mate continues to make this model as my wife loves them.

These ones have an acceptable quality, but they are not as smooth as advertised - they feel a bit dry.

Best basic blue pen. Triangle barrel is comfortable and always writes smoothly.

Like others, I was gutted when Paper Mate stopped making the classic Write Bros blue pens. I grew up using those and even bought some on off-market sites, only to have them arrive dried out.After searching the market, I can say that these not only write as smoothly as the old version but they are also more comfortable to hold and the ink isn't smelly. I'm so glad to finally have a replacement for my favorite out-of-stock pen.

I'm a mobile notary. I've been buying these pens to give to signers, while they sign, for four or five years now. I tried other reasonable brands, but customers complained about the pens all the time. Not these pens. People ask me where to buy them after a 1 to 2 hour signing. The ink flows well. The pens glide across the paper. They are multi-sided, instead of a featureless round shape, for good grip. They have a good diameter for the signers; not too thin. This review is long overdue. Great product at a great price!

Smooth as I expected.
