  A girl sits next to me..., March 28, 2013
A girl sits next to me in class and has 16 oxygels, I am catching up with 7 now :P Oxygels are just plain out awesome, and I LOVE the gold part. Probably my favorite oxygen ever! :D Get this one
  Pencil came with lots..., December 25, 2012
Pencil came with lots of small little dots and scratches, but I believe this is normal. Pencil feels slightly cheap; metal parts seem flimsy as if they were plastic spray-painted with chrome color. Grip is fantastic! Perfect texture and feel for writing. Shaker mechanism and such are very great but the lead mechanism could have been more solid (a good standard for which I compare is P205).
Overall a tad expensive for what it is. But the grip is awesome.

I recently got this pencil, but i was very disappointed with the barrel. The barrel was so scratched up. But, without the scratches, VERY GOOD PENCIL.

  Great pencil! Same amazing..., October 3, 2008
This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body - Royal Blue Grip
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.

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Chrome Light Blue Body - White Grip
I might get one of these, but I already know what they are like because many of my friends have them and I borrow them a lot.Some things that make these pencils awsome is that they are super squishy.

By arj...
This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Chrome Black Body - White Grip
These pencils get softer as you use them more.They are pretty expensive but are worth it even the shipping and handling is expensive for such a small package.The grips are the best grips i have ever used in my life so you should certainly get one.

  This pencil is so cool...., May 10, 2012
By pet...
This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body - Royal Blue Grip
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.

  First off, I am a girly-girl...., October 8, 2010
By nab...
This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body - Rose Pink Grip
First off, I am a girly-girl. I love pastels and have a collection of mechanicals pencils in pastel tones so I never thought of buying one in black before. But I saw this in a stationery store and I was smitten. The color combination and the grip color was quite stunning. I was sitting in lecture yesterday and a GUY kept staring at my pencil- haha. I was debating if I should get an alpha-gel for over a year because I kept reading that the grip rips and I hate wasting $. But when I saw this in front my eyes, I couldn't help it. I bought one for the bf in blue-black and he still hasn't stopped fiddling with it. Our new daily pencils.

Two downs- I like a little weight on my instruments (Dr. Grip fangirl) and this feels a little too light for my liking. And it feels a pretty plastic-y all around. Hence 4 stars. But the lock system, colors, and the grip won me over. I'm praying the grip won't rip anytime soon and if it does.. I'll just steal my bf's. ;) Recommended.

This review is from Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body - Rose Pink Grip
Awesome pencil. I am a stationery fanatic and this series of shaker pencils is my favorite because I like the sleek look, the soft grip, and the shaker function. I had one in green, pink, and blue, but unfortunately, all three were stolen at school and that really upset me. If you buy one, be sure to keep it at home so it won't get stolen and never lend it to anyone, or it will be stolen. That's how much people want these pencils.
