OHTO GS02 Roller Gel Pen, Retractable Needle Tip 0.5mm Fine Point, Black Barrel, Ultra-Quick Drying Black Gel Ink Pen, All-Metal Hybrid Body, GS02-G5-BK

Awesome! Smooth, clean ink and a pleasure to write with ❤️

This pen feels great in the hand. The weight is fairly substantial without being too heavy. The smooth barrel transitions to flat sides similar to a pencil and it’s balanced in the hand. Writes very smoothly at various angles and doesn’t smudge easily. This is a fine writing instrument. The clicking mechanism doesn’t feel as premium as the rest of the pen but it’s not bad.

It's a bit heavier than you would think. The click is satisfying with a hint of scratch. The writing experience also has a slight scratchiness to it from the roller style. It's not in a bad way, more like tactile feedback from the surface you're writing on. The ink is great, the sharp point doesn't get in the way of seeing what you are writing, and the finish/barrel shape feels good in the hand.

Pros: +Great weight/feel in hand +Nice minimal aesthetics +Good weight/pressure to the knock/click +Ink flow is decent Cons: -A bit of tip wiggle with the stock ink refill (a stock Parker refill seemed to fit better) -Disassembly has a brutal squeak, like nails on a chalkboard -Knock/click also has a bit of a scraping feel (but not nearly as bad as disassembly) Overall decent, but it's looks are better than the use.

Too expensive for one pen

I love this pen. Feels weighty, fits in the hand perfectly, and takes Parker style refills. Just a warning tho: try not to drop it in it's tip, it can deform it due to its own weight and you'll have to bend it back, or file away with a small round file. Other than that, amazing pen for the price, I give them as gifts and have received no complaints.

Great pen, massive, optimal size and shape, fits perfectly in the hand, it gives you a nice cold metallic feel when you take it. Silent when writing, no rattling, no creaking. It accepts all Parker G2-style refills, which is a big advantage. Having already tried dozens of different type of refills, for me there are two perfect refills of this type, which I use in all my pens compatible with them: : Uni Jetstream SXR-600-05 or 07 and Schmidt easyFLOW 9000 F or M. The only disadvantage of this pen: its clicker is too thin and it is unpleasant when you push it with your thumb. That' why I only give it 4 stars.

Good weight balance. Used in a medical setting where smearing is not acceptable. Smooth, no skip writing. Dries quickly. Bought several for myself and family and friends.
