Pilot Acroball Smooth Writing Ballpoint Pen - 0.5 mm - Black Body - Black Ink

Very glossy ink, comparable to a ballpoint but flows on the paper as a gel ink pen.

While the ink consistency and smoothness is better than the average ballpoint, it doesn't surpass the Jetstream. In my personal opinion, it writes about like a Dr. Grip Center of Gravity; smooth but has little inconsistencies in the lines. Not bad though for $2.50.

A smooth writing experience--delightful to write with. It makes a thin line, does not glop at all, does not cut out. Writes very well on high quality paper like the Kokuyo Campus Line options or the Kokuyo Campus MIO, AND also writes well on regular American papers. A wonderful writing experience along the lines of the Uni-ball Jetstream series. I'd love to see the Pilot Acroball come out with a colored line such as the Jetstream.

This is the best ballpoint pen I've ever used. The Pilot Acroball writes smoothly, with dark/bold ink, and very rarely globs even a tiny bit. The pen body feels nice and light. Also, even though it's .7mm, since it writes so smoothly, the line is finer than some .5mm pens. It's really a great pen for a great price. Since I found the JetPens site, I've also ordered the Uni-ball Jetstream Ballpoint Pen,.5 mm; the Zebra Espina Pearly Rubber Ballpoint Pen, .7 mm; the Kokuyo FitCurve Ballpoint Pen,.7mm; and the Pentel Vicuna Supersmooth Ballpoint Pen, .7mm. The Pilot Acroball is by far the best of these. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in more ink colors; I really like a variety of colors of ink.

Seems kinda ridiculous to take time to write about a pen, but that's exactly how much I LOVE this pen! I have looked for the perfect pen and now I've found it. No need to experiment or try anything else out there. Perfect grip, doesn't streak, writes instantly, doesn't glob and isn't too expensive. At least not for the perfect pen! Listen, I work in an industrial environment that dictates I have to have a pen at all times. This pen attaches and holds to pockets of the thinnest shirts and to collars of the thickest t-shirt, which is important to me. In blue or black ink, you can't go wrong. The blue is absolutely the best blue I've ever seen. And no, I don't work for Pilot, the only reason I'm writing is because I want to get the word out so they'll have more sells and continue to carry this pen. That's how much it means to me. I cannot tell you how many times someone has tried to 'walk away' with this pen. Ain't gonna happen! Try this pen, and hey, if you don't like it these guys will refund your money. Gotta feeling that that 'ain't gonna happen'. Cheers.
