Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto 3 Color Multi Pen Body Component - Black

Don't know about the other reviewers, but the 0.4mm refills I use feel very smooth.

The 0.5mm is the smoothest writer from this collection. The barrel will probably not last you through too many refills. I was using this pen exclusively with 3 pen refills and the plastic grips are not coming off and is stretched out. I used up 2 of the pen refills and almost done with the 3rd refill. The barrel is time for throwing out after my 3rd refill is done.

This pen rocks!!! I always use it!! I have to say I am a little obsessed with pencils and pens and this was really cool to be able to pick your own colors for a change.

This pen is excellent. I really like the 2 color version, which for me is perfect in size, but this pen has a wider barrel, which is also very comfortable. The rubberized grip is nice as it extends close to the tip. The design allows for the writer to hold the pen closer to the tip (or further back if desired). This is a big plus [with the hi-tec c (a great pen too) you do seem to have to hold the pen a bit further up on the barrel]. Yes the pen is light - and this makes it comfortable in my opinion. The spring mechanism only requires a light touch and the ink is very smooth - the 0.4 in black ink is great for taking notes. I use black ink (0.4) in two slots so I always have an extra ready to go. I use brown (0.3 or 0.4) in the third slot as this is great for underlining/writing small notes in margins - I seem to retain information well when using this color for studying (versus using yellow/bright highlighters which seem distracting). This is a great pen for a great price - highly recommended!

The plastic feels way too cheap. This pen also feels a little too light to be comfortable to write with, at least for me. Also the 0.3mm refills aren't so comfortable to write with, you can feel the metallic tip fighting against the surface, unlike the regular hi-tec-c 0.3mm. I'm gonna give it another try with 0.4 mm to see if it gets any better..
