  Overall I was very disappointe..., August 3, 2012
By bwm...
Overall I was very disappointed in the pen. The grip is fairlyy comfortable however other pens are just as good and not as expensive. The pen doesn't compare to some of the cheaper pens I have. I actually bought two looking forward to finding the "perfect " pen, however I was disappolnted.

The grip is wonderful! It's a weird kind of soft - I would compare it to memory foam, but rubberier. However, the ink doesn't flow as smoothly as I'd like, which makes me generally disappointed with this pen. It's a pleasure to hold, but the line leaves much to be desired. I guess I've been spoiled by Slicci.

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Lime Yellow Green Grip
Got it and I'm good with it. I have all the colors except one and they are cool pens to have. I'm a pen freak...seriously...so I don't use just one pen all the time, when I'm on shift at work I switch pens mostly for the enjoyment factor and because I have ALOT of pens. Anyway this would not be rated #1 in the comfort factor the grip is not the best, but let me also say that this green is way more awsome in person, fresh and bright, really nice. I wouldn't take notes all day or chart with this all night at work but I would buy it again for sure, that's why I own four. :)

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Pink Grip
Got this one in the mail today love it so pretty and writes really well. The ink is nice and dark, very smooth and does not skip or scratch. Once I got the first one and tried it I bought two more and love them all. The design is hot and it's comfortable in the hand.

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Orange Grip
This pen is wonderful. I love the shape and color of it. I write with it for all of my notes in class. I'm sad to see the ink refills are out of stock because I will need some soon for this pen!
All of my friends find this pen to be very cool, especially the grip. The texture of gel inside of the grip is very interesting. I play with it all the time! I was worried at first this would cause it to wear down and lose it's shape, but it is still nice and squishy!

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Sky Blue Grip
This pen is awesome. Not only does it look good, the grip works well, too. It fits any size to relax your fingers and let's you write very smoothly. It is amazing. I would recommend this pen to major pen collector's and people who have just started collecting.

A very nice pen it wrote the second it hit the paper and is very smooth. Does not skip, I have three of them and am very happy with each one.

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Sky Blue Grip
The service was amazing I got my pens in no time. This is a beautiful pen the product is just as it says it is in the other reviews. It does not disappoint. Interesting grip and although beautiful does not compare to the Dr. Grip Center of Gravity series in writing comfort depth and smoothness of ink, that being said I will now order this same pen in the pink. :)

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Orange Grip
Would like to update my review and say I really like how dark black the ink color is. I used to love thick nibs but am very quickly becoming a big appreciator of thin, fine nibs. This pen writes smoothly and precisely.

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Orange Grip
A nice pen. The squish is different than the gel pens. It has a total different feel, but it's interesting to play with it. It's almost like there are 2 layers that are against each other inside, and when you squish it it stays down for a moment, I can't really explain it. For "fun squish factor" alone this is quite satisfying, but for a more intense gel squish experience this isn't the pen to choose, get the Alpha Gels. The ink is nice and smooth and I love the orange & white "creamsicle" color scheme!

This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Sky Blue Grip
I primarily got this due to the gel grip. It does hold the shape of my fingers well although I can feel the metal barrel. I expected far more gel material. I have a Unibal Signo Premier pen and the gel grip on that is far superior. The writing itself is wonderful for a ballpoint. It writes very smoothly and more similar to a gel ink than a ballpoint. If you hate ballpoint and love the smooth writing of a gel then get this pen. At least with ballpoint pens you won't get that sudden "pen stops working" out of nowhere that you do get with most gel ink pens.
  This pen was disappointing...., May 21, 2009
This review is from Pentel Selfit Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Lime Yellow Green Grip
This pen was disappointing. The grip's "squishiness" does feel cool, but it's not squishy enough - there's not enough cushioning. When I use the pen, I grip it and pretty much feel the inner plastic barrel part of the grip. If I hold the pen w/ a lighter grip, it's no so much of a problem. But, I'd still expect a pen designed to have an ergonomic grip to have a better, more cushioned grip.

But it's still worth checking out. I guess the trick is to try to not squeeze the grip too tight. It is fun to roll the pen around in your hand and feel the "give" of the grip area (it doesn't feel like beads, though).

I also like the green color, and the orange one looks great, too. But I've seen better ergo grips from Pentel (Ergonomix, Ergotwist, and Flex-Fit II), and I hope their future ergo-grip pens will be more ergo!
