  This is the absolute..., April 12, 2009
This is the absolute best and squishiest grip out there. The larger barrel of the pen gives a great feel and is ergonomically correct. To get the best writing experience, I followed a jet pens forum suggestion and put in the Pilot BPS-GP Extra Broad insert (you'll need to match up the length and snip it to size with scissors). This combination is the best - softest grip out there and the most buttery feel from the ink. I've tried a ton of different pens and nothing comes close to this combination. Every time I let someone use my pen to sign a document they stop and comment on the pen. Try it you'll love it.....
  Greatest feeling grip..., January 7, 2008
Greatest feeling grip ever. period. i love the wonderful feel of it. Only one problem about this great pen. the ink. it doesnt write very smooth and not very dark, either. My advise: change the ink with a pilot easytouch refill or Pentel RSVP refill (you will need to cut it so that it's the same length. Then you have a nice pen.

OK, this runs to the point of being decadent... But, when even the Zebra AirFit is giving you writer's cramp, this pen comes to the rescue. You couldn't ask for a more comfortable writing grip on a pen than this. Wow!

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Orange Grip
Without a doubt, the most comfortable pen I have ever used. I keep it on my desk and use it for everything from checks to letters. I just wish one like this could be made that has a clip so I could keep it with me always.

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Blue Grip
Pen itself is great. Refill is terrible. I've got three of these now because I love the pen itself. The gel grip (not a gel refill) is really good. The refill it takes, however, is very weak, not too smooth, not to dark pigment--basically, yesterday's refill in today's pen. That, however, does not bother me because I found I can take the refills out of the Jetstream model of stick pens (not sold here, though they have a lot of other great jetstream models here) and cut it and it works in this pen. That marries a very comfortable pen model with the best ink type for ballpoint pens I've ever known. I'm giving this two stars though because most people are not going to want to cut and make fit refills from other pen types to put in this pen, and the refill UNI sells with this model and makes for this model is very disappointing.

This is my favorite brand/style of pen. The weight balance is perfect! The gel grip is wonderful on my tired fingers!

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Green Grip
This is one of my favorite pens! I have bought a *ridiculous* amount of pens in the past month from JetPens and I definitely have opinions. I like this pen better than my Alpha Gel Shaka because on this one the gel goes closer to the tip of the pen. I like to grip my pens closer to the front. The overall body shape also somehow fits better in my hand. I put a much thicker ink in this one though and this pen is just about perfect for me now. I put the ink of the Pilot BPS-GP 1.6 in it (and in my Shaka for that matter) and this pen is SO smooth, and SO soft, it's such a joy to use at work now.

For those who have to have the "squishiest" pen of all the pens here, I found the Shaka Blue is "squishier" than this green Alpha Gel. But this pen is so soft and squishy that it's really not saying much and I still prefer this one as my #1 comfy pen. I'm going to buy one in pencil next :)

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Pink Grip
This is the best pen I own! I love it. I used to hate writing in pen, but this pen changed it. The grip is amazing flexable and squishy. The only problem I have with it is that the plastic barrel gets scratched easy if not taken care of. Very nice pen overall.

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Blue Grip
Hi Guys,

I have been using this pen for the past 3 days and I have several comments to make:

First, the pen is more comfortable than Sensa pen and the weight is abotu right. Sensa has patented grip but its grip is only as good as the grip of the pen. In addition to that, average Sensa pen costs average $25. Comfort wise the pen rates a five stars.

Secondly, the ink system for the pen is as horrible as Sensa's. IT IS WEAK!!! You must press hard should you write on your paper. I hope the site offers more varities of ink thickness for this type of pen.

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Green Grip
I recieved one of these pens (and a pencil) from a Japanese exchange student my family hosted. I absolutely love them! I have never had a better pen in my life, and I just spent 45 minutes searching the internet for them (they're difficult to find in the United States). I highly recommend these pens to everyone!

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - White Grip
Grip is sent from heaven! I like this grip more than the ones in the more expensive Sensa pens. I also like the ink way more than the Sensa pens as well. Definitely worth trying out.

This pen is the absolute best! The gel padding is addicting to touch - and the fine point is great because it is a ball point, not the smudgy roller balls!

Love this pen! The gel is very very comfortable & the ink is very fine point & makes you write really neat. Feels like it is a high-end pen.
