Review: One of the best pens ever! - Such a great one! 12 pens for a low price is awesome, big it's even better when it works really well. Most pens to me do not fit my hand well and I often feel my penmanship suffers for it. These are really comfortable and write really well. I am a Girl Scout leader and take lots of notes. Lol as long as noone steals my pens, they last really long! Another thing, if you go to the store, it's so hard to find a pen with blue ink. Cannot go wrong here! Extremely nice and almost fun to use!
Review: Pen Snobs - These ARE Great Pens! Try Them! - I will admit - I was skeptical. As a certified pen snob - I have my “Princess Picks for Perfect Pens” but those are all quite pricey. Low on funds, I decided to try these desertcart Basics Pens - despite many just bizarre negative reviews. You folks who claim these broke on you - what exactly are you doing with these pens- driving them under your SUV? I clicked the retracting mechanism 100x and it did not break. I wrote with it for over an hour taking notes on a Zoom and it did not run out of ink halfway down the page. I question the people writing such peculiar negative reviews. These pens perform just as well as my favorite brand and they are so affordable at a fraction of the cost. No bleed-thru on the pages and it has dark, smooth, high quality blue ink - critical for legal work. I love that these do not have the rubber gripper affecting nearly every pen in existence now because those hurt my hands and attract lint. Gross. Whereas these desertcart Basics Pens are smooth, easy to hold and have excellent longevity with none of them breaking inexplicably - as reported by other customers. Absolutely I recommend these pens and will definitely buy them again. So glad I took the chance on the fantastic budget price for the quantity because they are great household pens and good for work too! Great product, desertcart!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent pens for great value. These are my favorite!
*by B***N on November 1, 2025*

I normally wouldnt review a basic product like a simple pen, but I'm gonna take a minute to do so for these. I am very picky with my pens, I need certain ones for my handwriting to be clean and legible, and these Amazon Basics pens are that. They are smoothe, have perfect sized ball/tip for my liking, the ink is smoothe and doesnt seem to smear easily, and they are just simply tough. They also allow me to write very small and still be legible, which is key for the inspection reports I fill out constantly. For the price, getting 12 pens for $12 ($1/each) is a great price for these. Not sure what else I can say, but out of all the pens I buy to try out and find a decent writing utensils, these are by far the best for the price. If you lose one, or someone walks off with it, your only out $1. The clips also seem tough, I have others break easily and I need the clip so my pen is always on my shirt for quick access as I won't pit it in my pocket where it will break. These are excellent pens, I recommend them 100% so if you need a reliable pen that writes great for a low price, here they are.
