Not your typical stick pen
I’m a retired School Counselor and always have been very picky about what type of pen I use. I’m even more picky now because I feel I use a pen more than a computer for lists, writing notes etc.
The medium point is really a medium point. Not too bold but not fine either. Very smooth when you are using it with a nice clean line. Sometimes medium points are too bold...

Writes so smoothly
This pen writes very smoothly, which I really like. It glides across the page. The ink shows up well and is easily read. I love the look of the pen, with the transparent exterior; my only complaint is that it can be slightly slippery to hold sometimes. Otherwise, I think it’s a great pen for everyday use, and writes well.

Smooth Writing
These pens are great. They fit my hand perfectly and offered a consistent ink flow on the paper. I used the pens to take notes during work projects and write down shopping lists, and the pen filled the role perfectly. The ink had the perfect tone of boldness to it that made the words stick out, but no too much that it would show up on the back of the page.

Writes smoothly and boldly
Staples Medium Point Ballpoint pens are my go-to choice for writing. The pens have a rich, bold ink that writes so smoothly with no ink gaps on the paper. The ballpoint glides across the paper and does not run or leave ink blots. I love that the cap stays firmly in place when not in use but still removes easily. I use these pens daily for making lists, taking notes,...

Better Than Expected
I didn’t have high expectations for this pen, as it’s about as basic as it gets, so I was pleasantly surprised by the smooth texture and boldness of the ink. I’m used to this style of pen taking forever to begin writing, but the ink showed up after just a couple quick swipes. I’m using it for random/basic things like notes, mail, etc. but my 7 year old daughter is an ar...

Smooth pen great for bulk needs
This pen has a sleek feel to it. It’s your standard every day pen. I find the grip to be somewhat narrow but it was still easy to take notes. I think it would be great for bulk needs like sign-in stations, conferences, schools, office supplies, etc. It wrote as expected.

Truest black
This is a great pen, and a deep purpley black. I compared it to some others I had laying around and they seem to have a brown undertone, but this pen has a purple undertone that translates to a more black black. Additionally the writing was smooth and came out well, so that I didn't need to apply as much pressure and was able to better control the pen. I will be happy t...

Good pen
Upon first using the pen, I didn't like it. I usually write with pens that are 1.5mm. They write smoother, bolder, and helps me stay neat.
With that being said,this pen is just ok for everyday writing. The plastic seems durable so that it won't crack easily. There's no smudging when you write and it does write smooth just not as smooth as i like. The cap is easy to tak...

Smooth glide
This pen is great for my busy work day. As a RN, I use my pens A LOT! This pen writes so smooth and keeps a nice flow to my writing. It has a pretty traditional look but that didn’t stop it from keeping up with my notes that I have to keep track of during my work day. I also really like that the ink dries quickly, as smeared notes do me no good when it’s time to chart. ...

Great Pens
These are no frills pens that work great. Pen writes smoothly and is a solid choice for general every day use. These are exactly the type of pen I use to jot down notes at work and writing grocery lists at home.

The Perfect Pen
These pens have been fantastic for everyday use. From making lists to writing out greeting cards, I love how smoothly they write! The ballpoint glides easily on a variety of paper styles (even slightly glossy paper) and it doesn’t clump when getting started with a writing project. These medium tip pens have a great hand feel and the ink dries quickly - I haven’t had any...

Smooth Reliable and Perfect for Everyday Writing
I love these Staples Ballpoint Pens! The writing experience is incredibly smooth and effortless, which makes jotting down quick notes for work or simple to-do lists so easy. The medium 1.0mm point is just right — not too thick, not too thin — and perfect for everyday writing tasks. It feels comfortable in my hand, even when I’m writing for a while, and the ink flows con...
