Mitsubishi Pencil UMNSP05.28 Gel Ballpoint Pen Uni-Ball One P 0.5 Banana

I’m not usually very particular about my pens, but this one is great! I love the short length and wider width. It’s very comfortable and writes well. I actually bought two more in different colors.

Just a normal pen

Very smooth writing; lovely texture on the body of the pen. The size is perfect for what I was looking for.

4.5 love this pen, easy to grip and ink doesnt smeat.cute colors, too.i even bought 3 colors. unfortunately mine fell from the table and now wont write. bought refills.

I bought this pen because I heard it was pretty decent based off a list. I now can no longer write without thinking how I could be writing with this pen instead.I was very skeptical of the grip when I first purchased it. I have tendonosis, so most writing utensils require a large amount of energy from my hand. This pen fit immediately and works so well with the natural motions of my hand.If you are looking for a quiet pen, this isn’t it but for me– that is the charm. The response of the spring and the scratching of the pen head reminds me of the humanity of writing. The color intensity and short drying time (it’s not a perfect no smudge) honestly is so sharp and worth the value.I buy these pens in bulk just in case they never make them again. would recommend in the coffee color for the whimsical.

Worked great for almost year and then stopped working. I really loved this pen at first, the small nib and gel flowed great, didn’t smear really, and it was small enough for me to tote around easily. That was until I tried to use it last week and nothing came out. I still had plenty of ink left, so that wasn’t the issue. I’ve tried to use it everyday for the last week and it never worked. For an expensive pen, I’m pretty disappointed in its longevity.

I have small to medium hands, so the size and length of the pen felt better in my hands and prevented some fatigue. The ink does not smear as it dries pretty quickly. I felt that the ink was sharp but soft than you might usually see with other pens. Sometimes the ink would skip but that was only if I was applying too much pressure as I was writing with it. That turned out to be helpful for me as I am someone who has a tendency to put too much pressure. I would say that value for the money depends on what you are looking for in a pen and how it works for you personally. I found the colors aesthetically pleasing and I was a fan of the shape/size. I also liked the clip attachment.

TL;DWR. The pen writes fantastically and has great ink, the body is above average in build quality and ergonomically very comfortable. However the spring isn't changeable and for me was squeaky right off the bat.The Uni-Ball One P is an interesting little pen with it's stocky design. The overall build quality is quite nice and It's no heavier or lighter than most pens; I found it quite comfortable to hold even with larger hands.The plastic body itself feels fairly premium?Definitely not cheap feeling but also not completely outstanding, with the walls of the pen being just a tad too thin for it's extra circumference, leading the barrel to have some "hollowness" to it. Which overall makes it feel less dense than you think it would. However the thicker body means it doesn't need any sort of grip or rubber to hold very comfortably.The click of the pen feels disappointingly soft and the spring is quite squeaky (more on the spring later) but the actual writing experience is very nice and the ink is incredible, outperforming my previous favorite ink from Energel. It's incredibly dark, very smooth flow and very very quick to dry (like seriously the only way I could get it to smear was inking a circle in completely and then very quickly running my finger across).The pen clip being made of metal and separate from the pen body is also very nice, it means you don't have to worry about a plastic piece that can break off as the metal would bend before it would break.Now about that spring... Well it's hidden, and not removable from what I can tell, and the same goes for the push button/thrust device. Which comes with both a pro and a con, the pro being you can't lose anything when opening the pen to change ink. The con being you can't replace the spring, period. Which I could actually see being a great thing if you're giving this to a kid who likes taking stuff apart. But if you're like me and want to be able to change the spring it's pretty unfortunate. Especially since it doesn't sound all that great out of the box, though it might be smoothed out with a little mechanical keyboard lube.Again, overall a great little pen. Very aesthetic appearance wise and also comfortable to hold. With the ink being the true hidden gem of this pen. (But I gotta dock a star for the squeaky spring)
