PILOT Precise V5 RT Extra-Fine Premium Retractable Rolling Ball Pens, 0.5mm, Assorted Colors, 8 Count (11890)

One of best pens EVER! & that’s saying a lot coming from the “pen princess” for myself. Lol!It’s hard to find a good pen and once you do, it’s great!So fun with all of the colors! The ink flow is so smooth and writes incredibly nice! They do not smear and last forever!Everytime I use them and let people use one they want to keep it!! Always get compliments on the colors! I have to write in blue or blank ink for my job but and I love the shade and feel when using these pens! Love using the various colors for my notes!Purchases two packs because I love them so much 😍

Best pens ever! They write so smooth. Even flow with no blotching or skipping. Warning, the tip is so fine that you need to retract it after using, or if you are like me and write while in your in bed then set it beside you, then lay on it, it might bend the tip. I still was able to straighten it out though, with no damage to the tip. It just makes writing a little wonky if you leave it bent..lol

I love these pens! I got one somewhere I don't even know and loved how it writes. I bought myself a bunch of them. They write so smooth and I haven't had any issues with them leaking or smudging. They feel comfortable in my hands. I am someone that loves to color coat so the multi colors lets me color coat my little heart out!

I compared this set of pens to my own set of BIC Gelocity pens for comparison. In short: Pilot pens are better with the exception of the yellow pen (image below). The pink has comparable saturation, which is good. I actually like the light green better in Pilot compared to Gelocity; it was a less saturated color that's a bit darker, which is better for readability. The light blue and purple don't quite compare to the Gelocity ones. The shade isn't the same, and I think I would've liked the light blue better if it was just a smidge darker or more saturated. I think Pilot's purple is a winner, though. Gelocity is a bit too dark. Pilot wins in orange, too. The Gelocity option has too much yellow which makes it hard to read. Another pleasant surprise was the black pen. I compared it to my favorite pen, and surprisingly, I think the Pilot pen has darker ink! Mine is more of a grey-black where Pilot's is a true black. I bought this set mostly for the colored pens, but I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of the black pen which I did not expect.Really, the only downside is the yellow pen. I'm really not sure where you'd use it. It's just going to collect dust, for me, so I really wish they'd put in a different color entirely. A navy blue, teal, grey... almost anything besides yellow would've been a better choice.Compared to the gel pens, these pens also don't seem to bleed through the paper nearly so badly. The ink doesn't "pool" that much when you press down and hold, which I consider a plus.

I do enjoy writing with these pens; hence, I buy replacements as needed! The flow, weight, quality, longevity, and size are perfect for my needs!

Love the smooth flow, use them daily!

Great pens for Journaling. Love the colors and they write so good. They feel very comfortable in your hand. Will definitely purchase again.

They seem a little thick for extra fine tipped pens, but work well enough.
