By weir.jared

Excellent Pen! I sadly had to reorder it as mine went missing, and I only hope the new owner appreciates it as much as I did. I was already in love with the Jetstream ink, but the marriage with Alpha Gel makes it that much better. I can't stress enough how much I love it!

Just to update my previous review...
This has become the top ball point pen in my case. After you get the ink flowing...it works really well. The grip (after being broken in) is exactly like that of the alpha gel original series (pencil) cept it\'s just a bit firmer which is very nice.

I still think the price is a bit steep but ~shrug~ what can you do.

  I just received mine..., May 11, 2011

By trvsdnhm

I just received mine and I love it ^^ Here\'s some pros/cons of the pen:

Pros:
- Jetstream = super nice for a ballpoint pen
- alpha gel grip (it takes 1-2 days to \"break in\" but once it\'s broken in, the grip will feel like the grip from the alpha gel original series.same texture and squish
- refillable: i definitely wanted a pen which i could refill. why pay for a pen body if you can\'t refill it ~shrug~ anyways...the refills cost $ and reviews say that the blue refill sucks soooo we\'ll see. I bought an extra black refill just in case.
- METAL! xD feels good. the end/body of the pen is skinnier than expected.

Cons:
- Grip\'s a dirt/fuzz magnet more so than the other grips. (see below for a fuzz rating xD) I put a touch of hand cream on the grip and rubbed it in. I do this for all of my alpha gel grips because it helps to break the grip in faster and keeps the grip slick enough so that dirt/fuzz doesn\'t cling to it.
- it\'s a ballpoint....but one of the better ones

Side Notes:
- The Zebra B2A1 is a nice full metal (duel color) ballpoint as well. I actually prefer to use the zebra to write on binder paper over the uni jetstream.
- This being said...the $$ really?.... -____- whatever
- I also bought the full-rubber grip jetstream and in my opinion, from a visual standpoint, the rubber jetstream looks a ton sicker than the alpha gel one. It\'s not how the pen looks laying on a table...it\'s how it looks in your hand when you\'re writing w/it.

  This is the best ballpoint..., January 18, 2012

By j.a...

This is the best ballpoint pen I have ever used. It is true to the uniball jetstream line, writing just as smooth and easy. The reason I like it more than the other jetstream pens is because of 1) the grip and 2) it's metal. The grip is soft yet firm, making it easy to use for long periods. Being metal gives the pen a nice, professional look. I have it everyday in my front pocket of my dress shirts. Also, because it's metal it gives a nice weight to the pen, making it feel more solid and I feel like I write with less force because of it.

A concern I had before purchasing the pen was the weight distribution. From the pictures it was hard to tell if the larger, grip end would be heavier or the slimmer, metal end. Having used the pen now, there is no need for concern. The pen's weight is evenly distributed. If you tried to balance the pen on a finger, your finger would be on the metal part of the pen, immediately after the gel grip, in the middle of the pen.

By t.s...

Good pen, the best part is that Signo RT or 207 gel ink cartridges and the Jetstream cartridges are interchangeable. You get a pen for either or both. The grip is a little to bulky, but the writing comfort is great.

By braniachernandez

usually i dont spend a lot of many on a pen.... especially a ballpoint, but this pen is an exception. i could rant on and on about how great this pen is, but dont just read this reviews, buy the pen and see how truly flawlessly it works. this is the number 1 pen in my pouch!!!

By fir...

OH MY GOD. I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY FOR BUYING A PEN OVER 2 DOLLARS. IM NOT. THE ALPHA GEL IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY. WRITING IS SO INCREDIBLY SMOOTH. It almost feels like it glides on the paper. Sometimes I look forward to doing my assignments because of this pen. :)

By mic...

This pen is absolutely awesome. The carbon area looks and feels great and the gel is a nice gimmick. One this tho, the gel area is located a little high in my opinion, so the grip is only perfect for those holding the pen at a higher point.

By str...

One thing about this pen, and Signo 207 gel that isn't mentioned is the balance. My penmanship is better because of it. It also enables me to write exceptionally small. Really an terrific pen for people writing all day on carbon forms which require a ballpoint.

By csurby

Nice weight and feel to this pen. The cushioned end makes it easy to write for long periods of time. This pen is worth every penny.

By 342564881

I bought 2 uni-jetstream pens,one is pink ( not from jetpens) ,the other is black( from jetpens).
I'm so obsessed with these good handwriting with good apparence pens . Among all the pens I've used, this pen is the best pen!
The pen is of high quality, the ink is bright and smooth. The rubbery grab part is very comfortable .
Using this pen, writing became an enjoy thing. You can never miss this perfect pen if you are a person who addicts to pens just like me.

By how...

Always love the ink (prefer the 1.0). Like this one because grip is squishy but less so than the gel premier.

Overall though I like (though am bored with, design/color wise) the Premier Jetstream (available in mainstream stores)...Maybe JetPens can get the JS Premier in other colors?

Very good pen!
