Pentel RSVP Ballpoint Pen - 0.5 mm Fine Point - Light Blue Ink

Not bad at all.

In my experience, ballpoint pens (true ballpoints, not hybrids of one kind or another) with unusual or non-standard ink colors tend not to write as well as your basic blacks, blues, reds and even greens. There have been some exceptions to this (Schneider makes a great brown bp refill, for example) but not too many.

So, I didn’t have high expectations for how this pen would write. But I am quite satisfied with it so far. The fine line it produces is as consistent as many a standard black or blue ballpoint I’ve used. And the light blue shade is an attractive one, if perhaps a tad too feminine for my tastes.

Someone in another review called the RSVP line ugly. I’m not sure why. It is basically just a nondescript clear plastic tube but it has its nice little touches, too. The lettering on the barrel is nifty and does bring to mind the invitation the RSVP name suggests. The little ball at the top of the cap to let you know the ink color is another nice detail.

The RSVP strikes me as quite adequate in the writing comfort department. It isn’t “ergonomic” but just a stick with a rubberized grip. Good enough.

They sell theses at the 99cent store.

Found lying around the house nothing special you are llooking for a great pen then you should get a jetstream!

Okay I am a bit biased because I simply adore this pen. I have about 48 of them wandering about in my house and I use them for everything. I am particularly attached to the fine points because I write small and these are great for that.

They seem very clunky but the thickness is a bonus if you use them for hours on end. The ink writes very smoothly and frankly these pens never dry out! I can't tell you which ones I have that I bought ten years ago or which ones I bought last month.

Even better they are refillable but it is so dang hard to get the refills which is really dumb because these are also incredibly durable pen bodies. The only thing that has problems is the end cap. If you post the cap of the pen too tightly it may break off the back end which has happened to me several times. This is a testament to the seal you get on the cap.

The rubber grip is just soft enough and grippy enough to be comfortable but it's not squishy. I find I am surprised with myself that I simply cannot write with the squishy ones - and I so want to! The long point on these give you great visibility and control and these actually make great sketch pens because of the control and the quality of the ink. I draw a lot with these pens - they shade really well which is hard with ball point pen inks.

And it's good for spinning once you mod it and it's really easy to mod! I filled mine with glitter...

As a writing instrument these are really a high quality disposable pen. They are fantastic for sketching and if you are a writer of tiny printing like me they are the BEST! Give them a try - you really won't be disappointed!

These are great pens but why there aren't any refill for sale? it is still a waste to throw the whole thing away after the ink run out
