I guess I had high hopes for these pens being a loyal uni-ball customer for many years. As an Engineer I need a pen capable of writing very fine. I ordered 2 boxes for our Engineering department and within a day everyone officially hates them, so this is not just my opinion. Out of the box every pen writes different. Some write very well and others are extremely light and really lacking ink flow. I left the bad ones in the box and handed out the good ones. They initally wrote very well, but after 5 minutes of writing the ink flow began to severly skip and soon after there was nothing but a very faint line. After several minutes of scribbling and trying to restore the flow I gave up and switched to a new one. Once again the same results. I think uni-ball needs to do some serious work on their ink formula before these are any good at all. Overall we are extremely dissapointed with these pens and I will probably return the whole lot.

I was super excited to see these on my doorstep when arrived home from class. The pen writes insanely small. its not a notetaking pen if anybody thinks they are going to do so with this particular pen. they are so cool to have around though. "the world's thinnest pen"

I originally purchased the .18mm bit because I wanted a mess free alternative to field 'travel' sketch pens that were felt tipped like a Micron or messy like a refillable drafting pen. These did the trick for the most part, though the durability is complained about, they do out perform felt tips of the same size by leaps and bounds, and are of course just as durable as the metal nib on a drafting pen, though not quite as stiff because of the disposable plastic construction. The only complaint that I have is reserved for the ink which though abundant enough, has a grayer less dense quality about it than nearly every other black ink I've used, the less vibrant ink is especially apparent when used in conjunction with other black inks. I assume the ink formula is less dense because of the lubricant that Uni-ball added for the use in their new micro design. But again as a sketch pen it is splendid for fine crosshatching and detail. Also great for small note taking in pocket journals. Four out of Five.
