THE WRITING FISH. Grip ergonomically designed in the UK as an aid for people with arthritis, grip difficulties, writers cramp and other writing syndromes. Blue ink

Works well with hand arthritis. Haven't had to change pen yet, which could prove tricky but it feels comfortable and makes writing easier.

Very useful, easy to use and I would definitely recommend using it. I have arthritis in my hands so this helps me when I need to write stuff.

Bought this for my Mum as she has severe arthritis. She still loves writing letters, but it has become impossible using a conventional pen. This gadget has helped her to hold on to the pen. Her writing is still very slow, but at least she's wanting to continue trying to write. She has no computer.

Quite a firm material so it didn't squish as i held the pen which I prefer. Definitely helped.

I have stiff hand syndrome and am unable to grip a pen properly. The writing fish really helps with handwriting and lets me continue to take shorthand notes in meetings. Would recommend if you have trouble holding a pen/pencil.

Bought 2 1 for me and 1 for a friend. Both found it helpful.

The fish itself is very comfortable BUT - and it is a big but - I have found it impossible to remove it from the pen it comes supplied on. I have asked three male friends -all of whom have good hands and they can't get it off either. Given that it is supposed to be for people with hand problems - arthritis etc - it is somewhat useless if you can't move it form one pen to another. Very disappointed.

I was beguiled by the fish shape but sadly it is not comfortable to hold for me. I have arthritic fingers and my index finger scissors. It is too flat for me and not comfortable.
