I love the alpha gel grip writing utensils, and this is no exception. While it is a bit expensive for a ballpoint, it is very comfortable to write with. The different refills available make it fun to switch between broader and finer tips on a whim.

I really like this pen. The grip is reallly soft and makes writing comfortable. It writes really well no skips. Its one of the pens I have on hand when i'm at work. Solid ball point pen.

I love this pen..so comfortable..

I was disappointed in Uni because the rubber was not that soft. I was also expecting to write smooth but it doesn't.

This is the best pen ever! The alpha-gel grip does not get greasy or sticky. I like its lightweight & sleek black body. No stress for your fingers after hours of writing!! Amazing product. Can't live without it.

Just got the pen and got it really quickly. A very nice pen, light in the hand, feels good and beautiful to look at I will be ordering more in this line.

Great pen! Comfortable grip and smooth writing!

One less star than the Alpha Gel because the Alpha Gel fits in my hand better, and the Alpha Gel has a shorter tip and gel that goes farther to the tip which lets me hold the pen closer to the end. That said, this is really a NICE pen. the gel on this blue Shaka is "squishier" than any of the other Gel pens I have tried, including the Alpha Gel. But the difference is slight. If you also hold pens closer to the tip like I do, this pen still provides "soft squish" for your thumb which feels nice. oh and the shaker feature (shake to get lead forward) can be on or off depending on if you have the top clicked or not.

Very comfy pen. Nice balance (I have small hands), great soft grip, smooth ink flow. My favorite go-to pen when I don't need my multi-pen.

The rubber grip is amazing, the design is sleek, I would give this not exactly 5/5 stars, but probably more like a 4.3/5.0, and this has to do with the design of the pen: The spring is at the top of the pen, not toward the bottom, so it seems to have a very subtle instability when you begin to write (has a "wiggly" kind of feeling, and you can hear it too). Most pens like the Dr. Grip and the Zebra are designed with the spring at the bottom, which confers a lot more stability (e.g. very "solid" feel). The higher the spring, the more "wiggle" room. The ink writes very smoothly, though.

Love all of the Uni-ball Alpha Gel pens and pencils. Please... never stop carrying these! Everyone I know loves them and wants them, and I swear people try to steal mine all the time - but I make SURE these are returned. Can't use any other gel gripes after trying this one - ask anyone. To those of you who don't have one... You got to get one! And to those who don't have their own but borrow others... GET YOUR OWN!!

I was rather disappointed in this pen. For nine dollars it is very cheaply made. I assumed since it was an alpha gel pen that it would have a metal casing. It does not. This particular line has a plastic casing. It really should be on the pen description so people are aware of what they are buying. I suppose I should have asked, but it's too late now. If you are going to buy a pen, buy the HD for the same price (and better quality) or buy the original for seven bucks.

It can lock itself in place:)
