WRITECHRetractable Gel Ink Pens: 8ct Black Ink 0.5mm Fine Point Tip Pen Comfort Grip Smooth Writing with Aesthetic Gradient Color Barrel for Journaling Note Taking Sketching No Bleed & Smear

I honestly don't know what I expected. They are labeled as "quiet" pens but somehow I didn't really believe it. I figured it would be quieter than my other cheap pens, but still audible. Hooo, boy, I was wrong. I never knew how much I used the auditory noise as a reminder for if the pen tip was extended or not. I am constantly visually checking these pens to see if they're still engaged before I put them in my pocket because I just have no idea. Honestly a little unnerving, but I bought them like this so I guess I got exactly what I paid for. They write well, with good ink flow and they dry faster than some of my other fine tip pens. Combine that with the cute colors and they're a good pen! Just. Gotta get used to the silent film.

I'm a giant pen nerd and kind of a snob about what I'll write with... I draw a lot and I wanted something cheaper to use at work (if it's stolen I won't cry). I am honestly VERY impressed with these! Nice ink flow, not smeary, and it's only been a few days (may edit this later) but I really love them. Plus, pretty. Added bonus. I do love them!

I love gel pens but tend to smudge them even though I am right handed.. these pens don't smudge, they come in cute colors, write smoothly, & nice quality at a good price!

Love these pens! I've purchased 2 boxes so far and keep giving them out to coworkers who borrow a pen and then end up loving it. These 2 that I kept for myself worked great to the last drop of ink. Time to break out a new pack! These pens have gone 'viral' in our office 🤣

I love that it comes with a case for easy storage in my laptop backpack

These pens are so cute! They feel great in my hand and the ink flow is wonderful. Overall, I give these pens 4/5 because they are decent pens but I wouldn’t repurchase. The first pen I picked out of the set had a malfunction where the spring in the pen flew out due to the tip being loose. Luckily, I found the spring a day later but that was a little disappointing. Also, I’ve noticed that the tip of the pens come loose over time (maybe a day of use). Not a huge deal but just a weird problem to have.I love the Writetech brand, they’re my new go to for quality pens— but I would not recommend this specific item for those weird issues.

Very smooth writing and very quiet. Also--very pretty for a pen:)

The pens are cute, does not smudge, passed highlight test, and ink flow is 10/10. Very comparable to the pilot v5 or v7 pens.
