Pilot Acroball 3 Smooth Writing 3 Color Ballpoint Multi Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Body

Of the batch of multi-pens I bought (Surari 4C, Vicuna 2+1, Jetstream3 0.5mm), I was least impressed with this one when I took it out of the packaging. It was by far the thickest--approximately 12.5mm at the grip--and looked pretty big. Then I started using it, and now it's my favorite one!

The ink is incredible. I have had smoother and brighter lines with this pen than with the 0.7mm Jetstream line. It almost never globs or skips, not does it put down ink when I just slightly raise the pen off the page to move to my next letter. I have not used any pen with better ink or more perfect flow than this!

The best part about the pen is the clip, which is spring-loaded so you can clip it on big things. (If all you need to do is clip it to your pocket or something, then it's even easier than most clips.) The clip is heavy-duty without being too bulky and doesn't seem to wear down over time. The plungers have strong, satisfying springs on them that also have not weakened with my incessant plunging tic. As for the size, it's actually not a problem the more I use the pen and I have gotten used to it over time. I highly highly recommend this pen.

I love using these pens at work. I receive so many compliments on how it writes so smoothly with very dark, flawless lines.

And a little note: People complain about the ink skipping in other colors’ reviews… I experienced the same thing, especially with blue ink, but after I wrote a few sentences written (or the pen defrosted after shipping) the flow improved dramatically.

Very cute lightweight pen and the plastic grip is very comfortable to hold with the perfect length as well. Unfortunately, the downside is that the ink skips here and there, something that didn't happen with the single color acroball pens. A bit of a disappointment.

I longed for this pen so much that I had it shipped to Europe. And I'm astonished! The design is just as good as the pictures show and it writes as well, or even better, as the standard Acroball. The refills are the same size as the standard Super Grip / Réx Grip ones, so (presuming that these refills are found easily) you don't have to fear that this pen will stop writing until the regular refills come out. The only glitch may be that there is just three strips of plastic under the grip, the rest is just the rubber – it makes the grip softer, but it also shows through a little. I think the black version wouldn't have this problem.
