this pencil is very slim and comfortable to hold, weight is perfect, but i was a bit disapointed with the squishyness of the grip. it was much firmer than i expected, although it was still squishier than all other grips. (maybe i had too high expectations...) and a bit expensive though...

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!

This pen is the cutest I ever had. I just received it today. It writes superbly. But does anyone know how you refill this pen as it says it is refillable? It only opens from the bottom so I am wondering if you have to unscrew the barrel tip and pull out the old refill and insert the new one from there? If anyone knows please let me know. Thank you. :)

This is one of my favorite pens ever. The grip is fantastic and it writes incredibly smooth. No smudging either! I use it daily and couldnt be happier with a writing tool.

This is my favorite pen to use. It writes very well and has a nice thin line. I love how comfortable the gel grip is. The pen is on the heavier side and it's very sturdy.

I absolutely love the grip on this pen. I would love it even more if it didn't stop writing and/or skip while I am writing with it. Has anybody else had this problem? Other than that, I would highly recommend this pen!

This is a fairly nice pen. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't made of all metal, there is some but mostly of plastic. The alpha gel grip is pretty nice, it does collect dust from time to time but so far it isn't too bad. It writes about as well as any other ball point pen. You're basically paying for the design and the grip.

A great alternative to this pen is the Pentel Graphgear 1000 ballpoint, it's only $3 more but it writes a bit better, it's mostly metal, and it feels very solid.

Either way the Alpha Gel pens are still good pens.
