PapaBear Ballpoint Pens, Simple Versatile Pen, Black Ink 0.5mm, Retractable Ballpoint Pen, 5pcs

The pens are titled with ballpoint in the name but these are gel pens. These pens are so cute. They're not marked with a big name maker but the gel ink cartridge is legit. The pens have the little bit of wax protecting the tip and write very smoothly. The feel of the pen is smooth with a good weight without being too heavy. There is no grip but there's some sort of matte style texture that feels like it would help prevent slipping. Plus the colors are adorable. The ink color is black in each of the pens. A good buy. I'd definitely get these again.

It's easy to hold and write, ink comes out very smoothly and evenly. The pen itself is slightly slippery for my liking but once gets used to it it's not an issue anymore. The vibrant colors on the casing of the pens are cheerful. Very light to carry in pockets, purse or bags.

The plastic is quite lightweight, which feels a little cheap, but the pastel colors are very pretty. Great colorway on this set of 5! The ink is smooth but the metal tips are a bit scratchy from some angles. The little plastic nib coverings were also harder to remove than normal. Seems to be a tiny bit thicker than my 0.5mm Muji gel pens.

These are really nice pens! The colors are cute and not something you find easily in stores. The price is okay. The pens are smooth and feel nice to write with. They are all black ink. Quality is good.

These pens have a nice dark black ink. They come in a set of cheerful pastels. They are on the smooth side and may slip if writing for an extended period of time. They aren't ergonomic. Still, they are fine for everyday use and priced affordably.

The pens write well, smooth, but the grip feels rather big in your hand. They seem to write thicker than .5mm which is why I'm only giving 3 stars.

Love these for my office! Love the way they write!

Pros- cute color casings are fun- colors of casings make pens easy to spot when dropped- gel ink runs smoothlyCons- material of pen casing is a bit slippery- the plastic nib covering the pen at first is more difficult than usual to removeI was able to write aprox 10 min with no issue with the pens, so they seem to function fine. They are just a bit slippery to hold.
