1 is already very similar to my pen of choice, and 2 used to be my pen of choice. So depending on how they feel, one of them.

Anyone saying anything but #7 is delulu. There's a reason Bic won pens

As a shorthand writer I approve of this comment.

If I HAVE to use a ballpoint, it's going to have to be a rollerball. Like the Uniball. But really, I'd take just about any fountain pen over any of them.

A Lemmy of culture I see. Love the Visconti.

Edit : Just noticed the stealth VP over on the right.

Was a committed G2 guy for YEARS (ultra fine all the way). But I’m a lefty, so ink smears were still a problem (though the G2 is better than most on that front). Then I learned about the Sarasa Dry pens from Zebra. The ink dries INSTANTLY, and writes like a G2. But they’re hard to find so I always stock up when I see them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Definitely 5, so much better than 99% of other pens.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I dont see any on here I would swear by.

I have taken a liking to the Pilot B2Ps, they are made of recycled water bottles, I liked them simply for the fact that they're the one type of pen we have in abundance at the office that no one else bothers to steal for some reason.

I like the Staples TRU RED series too.

what the hell is wrong with me, a year ago I'd be obsessing over some video game or hobby and now im discussing my pen model preferences, I think I've crossed the proto-boomer threshold

The Japanese uni-ball pens are sweet, ~~don't think they are on this~~ Nvm it's #1 or close enough

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure both 1 and 2 are jp and good

[–] CherryBullets 1 points 5 hours ago

I was using whatever pens I could get before I found the JP pens. Now when I see one, I have to get it. The writing feels as though it glides like a brush over the paper.

Besides that, not sure why people say they explode on them, mine are indestructable. I write and draw with a very heavy hand and they stay rock solid. Pretty good pick for heavy handed people.

Where the fuck are the Zebra pens

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Pilot G2 if I must, but the real answer is a Lamy Safari.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

3, it's the easiest to activate and handle

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uni Mitsubishi .38 I want it too feel like I'm stabbing the paper when I write

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does it also come in 9mm? I feel like .38 is a bit underpowered.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

No, but they do have a 30/30 version

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

5 has the ink i use, the g2 whatever. But I use it in the fat Dr. Grip pen, cause of my old hands.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

cant go wrong with the BIC pen. #1 is not as good but very satisfying to use, strong contender.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Pilot G-2, Obviously. #5.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This one right here by zebra: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6VIUPS

By far my favorite pen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I prefer the F-701 personally but yeah, any Zebra pen over the ones in the op

5

I would pick 3 but I don't think its ball point and I have trouble controlling the strength when I press down on the paper.

I write a lot (I am professor) and pilot g-2 (#5) is the way to go. Don't be fooled by sharpie's grip, I just finished a box of that model in red ink and g-2 is way better.

They call it the "Precise V7", but the ink makes it anything but. I think make it out of ground-up neutron stars.

But that's why I like them. The writing's no good if it doesn't bleed a little.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (4 children)

5 is the objectively correct answer here.

  1. The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.
