Zebra Clip-On G Series 3 Color Ballpoint Multi Pen - 0.7 mm - Clear Body

Simply Awesome :D

Pros:
- While this is one of the lamest looking pens in my pencil case, it's one of the best
- The ink is great. It has never "skipped" and it dries super fast and has never smudged.
- Great for annotating books
- The grip, while simple, feels good. My fingers don't slip whatsoever when i'm using this.
- Refillable
- Low Cost! :D This is one of the least expensive pens in my case, yet as i said before, I use it more (and like it more) than some of the more expensive pens that i have. (I also have a ball point version of the uni alpha gel HD, a couple M&G pens from Shanghai, and a few Pilots that cost $15+

Cons:
- The tips of the pens slide down the pen's "tube" sooo the ink catches at the very tip of the pen.
- Dust somehow collects in the tip of the pen sooo i use a q-tip from time to time to clean out the dust/ink from the tip

Excellent pen. I first bought this pen in Tokyo in 2008 and it instantly became my most favorite pen. For nearly 3 years, I kept close watch on its whereabouts, but recently lost it at a conference while on a trip to New Orleans. I've looked in stores but couldn't find it, then I did a search on "Japanese pens". I was so excited to find it available from JetPens and bought one of each barrel color. It writes so smoothly, is very comfortable to hold, and I can color-code entries.

This multi pen is great for everyday use because the performance is decent. The ink flows smoothly and the colors are for everyday use. However, the grip is not very good because it is not squishy and like a uni-gel (alpha-gel). I think the mechanism is great because there is a retracting button in the center below the clip that retracts all the different colors. I do not use this because I am use to just pressing another function down to retract another. The clip is decent and functions well although I do not use it. I have found no problems with mechanisms after using it for six months or so in class. The only complaint is that the grip is not very great. You can use it to write in black and blue, then correct or make profreading marks with red. It is a pretty sturdy pen because the whole pen is undamaged after six months of heavy use and tumbling around in my pencil box and only one minor crack in the tip from a drop in the hallway on the floor. This is a great pen for casual use and a great value for only 3.75 because it is basically 3 pens and a clip for 4 bucks.
