Customer Reviews

this pencil is a very nice pencil to write with. the grip is firmer than the other squishy alpha gels, but the firmer grip is easier to write with. it looks beautiful and is over all a great pencil. I recommend this pencil to people who like good grips, and are in love with the alpha series

Uni-ball Alpha Gel Slim Mechanical Pencil - 0.3 mm

Good:
- Gel provides comfort to those that write fast or for a very long period of time.
- Light-weight, perfect for those pencil spinners out there.
- Clip is the best out of all the Alpha Gel series.
- Smooth, brilliant design.

Bad:
- Too small to write very accurate things in with a big hand.
- The cap can come off easily if used over and over again.

Overall, this is a pencil that is recommended for students who like light weight pencils with great grip to write with.

This pencil is great! Just got it today and the grip is soooooooooo squishy! I would recommend this to a student and I give this 5 stars.(Also I am a student)

LOVE THIS PENCIL!!!!!! OMAZING!!!!!

Pencil gets five stars

Very nice pencil. The gel is indeed less squishy than others in the line, but it's not really a bad thing. If anything, I prefer the grip on this one than any other of the alpha gels I have (Uni KT and the Jetstream). Obviously, with such a slim pencil it only makes sense that the grip is thinner too.

Great elegant pencil very good grip and smooth to write with!!

!! These ALPHA GELS are getting out of control!!! Now they got 20 in stock! When they had zero!

Most favorite pencil. Great grip, light, and great colors!

This pen wuz amazing!!! I've borrowed my friend's be4 and it wuz sweet.
Luckily I'm getting one soon!

Great pencil. Way better then all the alpha gels. Clear lines to write with.

Excellent pencil! I have a blue version of this but I acidentally lost it and my friend found it. It's grip was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please restock! I have a blue version of this pencil and would love to have the black one. These are fantastic for people with small hands that feel the other alpha gels are too bulky. The grip on the slims are slightly less squishy due to the smaller diameter but still very comfortable for writing for long periods of time.

i used my friend's and it was awsome i wish i had 1 =(

i love the gel it is so awesome. my cousin got teh little thing before me and now i got it.

the pencil is good but the shipping is outrageous

Very reliable pencil and really comfortable for me. The grip is really soft and the Slim line of Alpha Gels suit my smaller hand just right. I've been using one of these for almost 2 years now. The only reason I switched is because I fell in love with the Kuru Toga Mechanism in the other uni-ball pencils. The color accents are nice and the eraser cap stays firmly at the top. I'd invest in a separate block eraser as the erasers in these pencils tend to be very small.

love the grip. although it is not as squishy as the other uni alpha gel pencils, it is comfortable to hold and not too bulky. the purple barrel is smooth and will not chip off. very wonderful pencil, but a little pricey. completely worth the cost in my opinion

Is the lead pencil shake able responde

This is a beautiful pencil. It doesn't look or feel cheap. The gently sloped body of this pencil has a gorgeous, metallic turquoise color. The milky grip is, of course, a pleasure. All in all, it's a great pencil at a great price.

However, if you have large hands, I would stay away from this pencil. Because of the squishiness of the grip, the pencil is actually slimmer in your hand than it appears. My hands are quite large, and I've found that the Uni-ball Alpha Gel Slim is too small for me. The fatter version is probably just right for the size of my hands.

this pencil is very slim and comfortable to hold, design and colours are pretty, 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...) overall good pencil, reccomended.

Very sexy looking pencil! The green tip on the top and the grip in green look so good and it caught so many people's attention in my school. The pencil is very shiny and the slim size makes it feel like you are with a sharpened wooden pencil with a soft grip.

Only bad part about it is that the easer is way too small that you could only erase 2-5 lines of words. Also you have to take very good care of this because it seems a bit delicate. Try not to drop it on hard floor or sit on it.

The pencil is so soft and squishy that it's irresistible. It truly was love at first sight. The pencil has a real cool feeling and is worth it. The pencil is very pretty. I recommend people to buy it.

I LOVE this pencil! The thickness of the grip is great for me, and I definitely love how I write with it.
Two things I don't like about this is that in the middle of the pencil is a silver thing and the paint is starting to chip off slowly. Another thing is that when I write a lot, the pencil cap tends to get loose, which I have to often check to make sure the cap is screwed tightly. I'm not sure if that happens to other people though. It's also great for writing math equations too!
