Pilot Uni Alpha-Gel Slim Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm, White Blue (M5807GG1PW.33)

The grip is super soft and comfortable to hold. I dont recommend this for people who have heavy grips though. The writing is smooth, although a bit expensive. Very aesthetically pleasing to look at!

This pencil was perfect for my hands. I have long hands. I enjoy the slimmer pencils and the squishy grip is amazing!!! !100/10

The pencil does what it needs to do. I would prefer this pencil over any other brand. Get it.

Very comfortable if you have a deathgrip and the value is amazing because at my local store, one alpha gel is $16.99

I used this mechanical pencil for years in college, it's very comfortable to use and stylish.

PROS-The grip is initially very comfortable to hold-The tip is solid with no mechanical play (however this is pro is mitigated due to the con)CONS-The grip is soft not only on the surface, but feels like it's soft almost to the core of the pencil. The result feels like using a gummy candy as a grip, while it may sound comfortable, you quickly realize the grip dampens the motion of your fingers as you write (i.e. you have to apply more pressure with your fingers any time you want to change direction during writing - which is a lot, unless you plan to use this pencil only to draw long lines). In the attached picture, I'm pressure the end of a plastic pen against the grip to show how much the grip deforms under light pressure.I would prefer if the grip layer wasn't so thick; a thinner grip layer would provide a soft interface between the fingers and the pencil, while providing enough structural stability to write quickly and neatly. The grip material would be perfect if they wanted to make a stress ball. The material feels like it would be rated Shore 00-20.

It is the perfect pencil

The grip is cushy and squishy, which helps my fingers and the strain on them. The pencil is a little heavier than a standard, cheapie mechanical pencil. The pencil writes super smooth and solidly, which surprised me at first, so it took a bit of practice to get comfortable with it.

Sometime when I'm using the Alpha-gel series, I feel like the grips are too big and chunky. And BOOM! Uni comes up with a thinner design that puts all those thoughts to rest. This thin design with the alpha grip is a perfect combination. This is now one of my daily drivers as when I am taking notes, I prefer to use pencil. Lead advance mechanism fairly solid. No complaints whatsoever.

Delivered on time! It is an amazing pencil. The pencil is very light and grip is very soft just as I expected. This series had never let me down and I would recommend it to anyone who write a lot. eg. a level psychology essay practice or IB essay practice

Creí que este lápiz era shaker y de metal pero no lo es. El grip de este lapicero es tan cómodo que hasta espero que me encarguen tarea para usarlo y no me importa que no sea pesado (el sentimiento que uno de metal te daría) anyways, si eres estudiante y tus maestros te odian, este lapicero es para ti.

If you don't like the thick gel grip mechanical pencils than this is the perfect size. The gel grip is still squishy which is good for those who grip their pens really hard. Love this product!

might be somewhat overpriced but Pilot Pencils are GOOD
