I would like to hear anything about any pen - would it be a ballpoint pen, roller or gel ink pen or even a fountain pen. Does it feel comfortable? Does it have a grip? Does it skip? Does the ink flow out easily? What do you love so much about it? Share your experience. Best regards.

I'm really picky about pens, because I have tendinitis in my wrist and the wrong pen can be painful after a while. I've tried too many types of pens to count, and I've recently settled on Pilot Varsity disposable fountain pens. I didn't like them at first, because the fountain tip was so different from what I was used to and I had trouble writing neatly and controlling the ink flow. But now that I've gotten used to these pens, I love them. The ink is liquid, so it flows very easily and the pen requires very little pressure on the paper. For me, this means less strain on my wrist and less pain. I prefer a very fine point, because the wider points dispense too much ink. These pens don't come with grips, but because of the light pressure I don't find that I need a grip. One suggestion I have with these pens is to make sure to use paper that is very smooth, because a rougher or more porous paper will draw too much ink out of the pen.

Thank you for the comment! That seems a nice option for the everyday writing, and that's just what I need it for. Greetings
