By dylanhammer333

Great pencil! Same amazing squishyness as the originals, now with the shaker feature. The one reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the weight, which is significantly higher than the regular alpha gels. The tip and body are sort of plasticy. Not a major issue, but I just liked the heavier version more. Of course maybe you want a lighter alpha gel! Anyway, still awesome, and the colors are fantastic.

  Uni-ball Alpha Gel Shaka..., October 15, 2009

By digiflexrs123

Uni-ball Alpha Gel Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm

Good:
- Perfect balance in weight.
- Gel provides comfort in people who tend to write fast or extensively.
- Revised clip, better than the HD series one.
- Shaker is okay.

Bad:
- Grip rips very easily, good care is recommended to avoid this.
- The shaking mechanism sometimes jams.
- No lower grip for writers who grip the pencil low.

By pet...

This pencil is so cool. The grip is perfect because it is soft but keeps you hand in place. It is made of selector gel which is known for preventing and egg from braking when dropped from a height of 5 feet. The shaking Parton the pencil is not very loud so it does not bother many people. Overall you need to buy this pencil.

By btracc

I have all 3 types of Alpha gels(shaky, slim, and HD) and I hate this one the most. The grip is too fat and not good to use when you write a lot. It makes it harder to write with too much squishy-ness. If you think that squishy gels are better, think again. The shaking feature is good and they have a really tiny easer which you shouldn't use. You have to buy a separate easer with this pencil. It also looks really cool, but I don't care about looks since it made it harder for me to write with its fat and squishy gel. The slim version is the best and the HD's grip isn't too squishy and writes smoothly but it is a little bit too fat.

By kristiesychan

First time you heard of this pencil? Well, two words: GET IT!
The grip is a very very very soft and squishy gel. It is liquidy and soft and comfy. It is exactly like jello except you can't eat it and it doesn't smell like anything. It is the same gel famous from keeping an egg from breaking even if it is dropped from a high distance. But, It is fragile and rips easily. Overall, reasonable price and good pencil...

By sil...

Holy crap! This pencil is amazing! The grip is absoultely amazing, and I don't know what people are talking about when they say it rips because i have had it for a year and it is fine. The shaker is a spring and it is one of the best shakers on the market. I like the feel of it and how you can put it into lock mode when you aren't using it. Btw if you don't know how to see what is inside of the pencil, you just unscrew the clear blue part where the cap and eraser are. Thank you uni-ball and jetpens for this amazing product!

By jon...

This is amazing. After having it for a couple months I've had many people try to buy it off of me. The grip is amazing, and the pencil never malfunctions. Two of my friends actually bought one after they saw mine. It is the best.
