"I've been using G2 pens for years, and they're still my top choice! No smudging or clogging, just a perfect writing tool. My husband even asked me to buy more because he's hooked too!"

"This is hands down my favorite pen. The 1.0 mm writes solid and super smooth. It's very comfortable in hand. I write a lot for work, and I always reach for this pen!"

"I really love these pens; they write smoothly and the ink flows well. They're also affordable, which is a bonus!"

"When I first tried these pens, I thought they didn't work at all. I found out that the manufacturer adds a small coating on the tip. Just keep scribbling, and they'll work perfectly."

"The delivery was a bit of a hassle; I ordered on August 19 and didn’t receive them until September 12. Despite the delay, I must say that these pens write way better than I expected. Excellent quality for the price!"

“I rarely write reviews, but these pens are truly amazing. They offer a smoother writing experience than the G2 0.7s, allowing me to write faster. I’ve tried many brands, and these are by far the best! They’re an incredible value, although I did notice that one or two ran out of ink a bit quickly.”

“I absolutely love these gel pens and have them on a standing order. The fine-point tip provides smooth, precise writing, and the wax seal prevents any ink leakage during shipping. They dry quickly and never smudge, making them perfect for everyday use. However, I’ve found that the ink tends to run out a bit faster with heavy usage.”

“While these pens are cheap and decent for casual use, I have to say they often have inconsistent performance. They write well sometimes, but I encounter issues where the ink just doesn’t flow. For those who need a reliable pen for writing, I’d recommend looking at better-quality brands like Pilots or BICs for a more dependable option.”

"I absolutely love a smooth writing gel pen, and these did not disappoint! The ink flow is consistent and the colors are vibrant. I've tried many gel pens, but this is definitely one of the best. They're lightweight with a great grip, making long writing sessions a breeze. The price is amazing too! I've also purchased other Mr. Pen products, and they've all performed outstandingly!"

"A colleague introduced me to these pens, and I’ve been really pleased! As a teacher's assistant, I appreciate that they were designed by other teachers. They come in a variety of colors, write smoothly, and are extremely comfortable to hold. Absolutely beautiful pens!"

"I’m a sucker for office supplies and I had to try these out! They write so smoothly with such pretty colors. I was especially happy that the lime green color is vibrant and legible on paper—so many green gel pens are hard to read. These feel just like the gel pens I used in high school and have become one of my new favorites!"
