Simply GeniusBulk Pens Retractable Ballpoint Pens - 100 Pack, 1mm Tip Medium Point, Black Ink & Multicolor - Comfortable Rubber Grip & Smooth Writing - Teacher Essentials

Original lack packaging resulted in damaged shipment. Amazon quickly had the order replaced (kudos). The colors a slightly less strong than the photos. Grip is comfortable and black ink is reasonable for an inexpensive ballpoint but definitely less dark than a gel. Colors seem to have different pricing, at the time the two tone green was the most affordable. Click mechanism is medium pressure and is unusual with lower cost pens the ink cartridge is clear when you open the pen. This is very nice particulalry if you are wondering if you are about to run out of ink. The pen disassemble with a midbody unscrew location - many threads (8) which is unusual but makes for a very solid attachment. The spring is what I call a double, so it appears as two joined in the midd.le (see photo). This is sometimes done for longer springs for support and strength (firmer). Writing is smooth without some heavy handed pressure sometimes required with ballpoints. For page at a time writing, gifts, somewhat distinctive (easy to find and noticible) daily user these are a good choice (price dependent) and is solidly made.

Love them

Happy with the purchase!

I'm a part-time grad student and bought these pens because I'm trying to use as little plastic as possible. The pen writes really well! Not super thick but not scratchy. I wish there was an option for blue ink, but I'll work through my black ink for now. The one complaint I have is that for long periods of writing, it's not very comfortable. However, for those who won't be taking notes for three hours straight, this is a great pen!

No problem

Best pens for teachers! Comes with so many I shared with colleagues. Solid point and good ink. Love the different colors.

I bought a bunch of these for Valentine’s Day goodie bags I handed out at work. It’s September now and sometimes I still see people using these. Haven’t had one break yet, or fail with writing. I’d love to get more of these in black and orange for Halloween goodie bags but they’re unavailable now, I hope they come back soon!

This is not a "nice" pen you'd buy as a gift, but as a giveaway at an event it would be just fine. It is comfortable and writes smoothly. Hasn't leaked so far. It is all plastic so there's that but the colors are super fun. It did take awhile to arrive so plan ahead if you need this for an event.
