I would definitely recommend this pencil to anybody. The grip is outstanding but it is easy to puncture but other than that it is an all in all great pen.

OMG this is the PERFECT pencil for 2 reasons

1. The grip

This grip is BY FAR the best grip I have felt in my life. It makes the other grips you put on wooden pencils seem like hard rubber. But, when you get it, it is a bit stiff but still comfy; so use it alot and it will get alot squishier.

2. The Shaker

The shaker makes it so that you will almost never have to touch that button at the top to extend the lead. It also feels good too. I don't know how to describe it though.

The price may be expensive, but it was well worth it for the quality. I would be willing to pay $50 on it.

I think I got a bad one, cause whenever I pressed the locked in thing the lead goes right back in so I can't write with it @ all. I can write without locking it but if i need to lock it it won't let me write what is up with that?

A wonderfully comfy pen. I've been ssearching for years for a pen this soft and gooey around the middle. I have a callous on my finger from the pressure I use when I write--THIS pen has helped so much with the pain I suffer from normal pens. I love this pencil! I bought 4B lead, which is a little soft, but helps me not write as hard becauseit's already dark. I did find the shaking feature cool, but I had a hard time with it, lol. I'm still working it out. Other than that, the grip alone is worth ever dang penny! Eraser is small and the metal barrel will be hard to keep track of, so get another eraser! Thanks again Jetpens!

very bad, the agel i got, and the lead jammed suddenly one day, and the lead barrell bent. i have never been able to use it again ever since that incident.

A wonderful pencil with the most addictive grip! I love to squish the grip in class! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

really wonderful pencil. the grip isnt the squishiest, but it is shaky and has that lock/unlock cap. you can also unscrew the barrel (the metal part on the top) to reveal a clear casing. well worth the price

yes i just recieved it today and its the best pencil i ever had

im sooo excited im getting this on saturday or sunday yaaay my friends have the black one and the pink one and im getting the orange one

This is a good pencil.
4 stars in my opinion.
Great lead and shaker option and the clicking part is great
BEST part is definitely squishy grip.
But if you want really squishy ones,
get the HDs or tints
but if you want regular good lead, get the uni alpha shaka shakas!!!
btw--orange is not that good color

This pencil is sooooooo good. My grip hasn't broke yet, and I squish it everyday. I used to use the pilot G2 pencil, and after I used the agel, the G2 felt like trash. Overall, this pencil is awesome and the grip is so squishy. It is a bit pricy though, but i still reccommend it.

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.

This pencil is awesome!!! I like fiddling sith the shaking part... but the grip ripsif you grip it too hard RRIPPP!!! Awesome pencil!

AWESOME!!!!! It's the bomb.

This mechanical pencil is so GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super squuishy grip, and its shaky too.

And adding to my other comment, there is a dislike i have of this pencil, its that it costs to much but My Uni-ball Jetstream cost 6$ more so ya. But still it has the good quality thats why it has a high price.

THe best pencil in the world. I love it!!!! It's so amazing and everyone wants the pencil, and they ask u for it. It is the best pencil i ever had beside my Uni-Ball Shift Pipe LOCK Mechanical Pencil. This pencil deserves a 5/5

In the current Japanese market, this is a fairly new product. This product has proved to be a popular mechanical pencil in Japan. This is my favourite mechanical pencil in the series of all uni-ball mechanical pencils.

this is a great pencil and if you like it then i recommend u buy it. it has squishy grip that feels great and the lead option is great so i can turn off all the lead when my little cousin plays with it, VERY GOOD PENCIL!!!!!!!!!

sincerely,

My friend has this pencil and I love it! The best part (and the main reason why people buy this pencil) is the super soft and comfy grip. It is a liquidy, soft, green 100% gel grip that is squezy and jello-like. It is removable from the pencil and can be used on other pencils, but it will not be as soft as it is on the original pencil. This pencil has a small eraser on the top. If you'd like, you can buy refills right here on jetpens.com. This unique pencil can extend its lead by a click on the cap at the top, or simply, shaking it. You can lock the pencil by clicking hard on the cap until you hear a click. To lock the pencil means to stop the lead from extending even if shaken or clicked on the cap. To unlock it, you click the cap harder than before until you hear a click. Let go on the cap after you hear it. Now, it's unlocked. This lead pencil is used with 0.5 lead. It also comes witha clip so you can clip it to your papers. Some bad things (or cons) about this pencil is that the grip is so soft that it is really fragile and may rip easily. Unfortunatly, there are no replacement grips for this pencil so you need to be very careful. If you want this pencil to last long, it needs to be well-used and being cared for. So, that being said, this is recommended for people 8+.Overall, I love this pencil. I bring it to school everyday. If you have any questions about this product (features, questions about grip, lead, what stores sell this pencil....), email me at kristiesychan@gmail.com. I would love to answer each and every one of them and will answer them promtly. Bye! hope this helped!

THIS IS THE BEST PENCIL IVE EVER USD i used it for 4 years and still NO JAM :D

This is the best pencil I have ever used. The grip is very soft, and that helps me when i'm drawing. The color is also very nice, because I just love the color green! And the shaker option is amazing! My only complaint is that when i shake it, it either puts out too much lead or not enough lead! But that is only a minor thing which is fixed easily.
But in all seriousness I would recommend this pencil to anybody and everybody. Excellent pencil.

I LOVE this pencil!!! The squishy grip is sooooo comfortable, it makes me excited to use it! My friend from Japan brought me back one and I used it for a year and a half and I never had one problem with it. I just ordered more and I'm counting down the days until they arrive!! Pink is my favorite color and the pencil is so cute :)

Very nice, grip is very squishy, not many jams. Very very cool! My handwriting is very neat because of the grip, I can hang on easily.
