Uni-ball Alpha Gel Slim Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Grip

I bought this one because I bought the mechanical pencil version and thought I would love this pen and much as the pencil. I was wrong...I do like the grip and the ink flow, but I don't like how my writing is different compared to the pencil. Overall, it's still a great pen.

easily best grip there is it may be better on the fat ones but thats an extra three bucks plus has a fine tip and super smooth ink best pen i own and im a pen collector!

Just got the pen today and found a couple things that I feel people should be aware of:

1) The body of the pen isn't aluminum like it is for the regular Alpha Gel, it's just chromoplastic as so many pens seem to be. It does, however, have a metal clip which I think is important having broken several on the all plastic Jetstreams.

2) It uses different refills than the standard Alpha Gel, it's good and bad I think, I had sadly purchased a few refills in advance, because I figured my Alpha gel would last me a while and I'd need refills eventually. The refills for the Alpha Gel Slim are much longer, but slimmer, so I'm not sure how long they will last. Otherwise, great pen!
