I have had this pen for a LONG time now. I love it so, so much. I see the price has gone up by a dollar since then, but still. I just bought another one in lime green (I feel like I am now set in terms of pencils for the next decade or so.)

Oh and the grip is phenomenal.

I have absolutely no complaints over the last four and a half years of owning and frequently using this pencil.

It's so squishy! Feels really comfortable to write with, even though it's really thick in my hand. I don't like that you have to put the cap on to switch it to shake mode, and you can't use the eraser in shake mode, but it's a nice pencil and wonderful to use.

awesome ihave soooooooooooooo many of these espascaly rayal blue

I going to buy it it looks really good my class mates have it it really cool lol

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.

Good pencil, I have the slim version which is really good but I recently bought this because I thought the slim was a little too slim for my hand... but now that I have this, my writing is really easy. I think that the grip, if you don't squish it too much, it WILL NOT rip but if you keep playing with it and squishing it it will eventually rip. Luckily I don't get into the habit of doing that, and if you don't either then this pencil is right for you! :)

my friend has this pencil ( in orange) and i love it!! i also really like the shaka on it. ( i like to shake it alot :)) but the downer is that it scratches easily and the squishy part can rip... another downer is that jet pens is always out or stock on this colour... :*(

This is a very nice pencil but i have many problems with it. It seems to jam often and the grip ripped on all of them that my friends have. It is a good pencil overalll but it has some downs to it. I am not a huge fan of the shaker mechanism, but it is easibly removable. I recomend this pencil if you like shakers and you like squishy 0.5 writing pencils.

This was the best mechanical pencil I ever used! The grip is so swuishy and you can even lock the pencil!
A bit pricey though.....

this pencil is amazing yet a little price i had they pencil for about 1 year now and it is still in good shape but i prefer the hd seris.

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.

my friend had this pencil, and it was really good for about a year, but then it just broke. I don't know about other pencils of this brand, but beware....

i love this pencil

This pencil is good! I use it pretty much every day! I recommend it, although the grip can get a little too squishy at times, so get the tougher ones. Over all, 4/5 because of the grip.

I love this pencil! The grip is squish and great! The grip is my favorite part because it gives you a firm hold on it. Anyone who sees this pencil should go ahead and buy it before time runs out!

I bought this, and the alpha gel kurutoga. by far, i love this one. some pros are that it is very squishy, and feels good when you write with it, the shaka shaka mechanism hasnt jammed for me ever, and there is a perfect weight balance. the only suggestion i would have for this pencil is that there isnt a grip for people who hold their pencil low. I love this color, but you could also get the black/orange one. It is pretty. This pencil is definitely great

first thing i said when getting this pencil was... DANG! This is one fine pencil. Squishy grip. Shaker mechanism. great writer. iLuv dis series of the Alpha gels!

Thanks!

To liz...

I have the same problem. I have three of these, and they are all relatively hard. Then, my friend goes out and buys one, and his is squishy as crazy. I'm like, "LOLWUT?". I'm not so sure, maybe the more you use it? But that might not be it, because my friend's was squishy from the start. x_x

I just got this pencil! Why is the grip so rough? And its not AS squishy as my friends pencil and she has the same one! Someone please answer me!!!

This pencil is so awesome... One of the "squishiest" colors in its kind (this is true, since some colors are less squishy than others) Its my favorite pencil since it never makes your fingers queasy when writing those 5 page essays...and it makes me think better while I gently squish the grip!
*ALPHA GELS MAKE ME SO HAPPY.*

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!
