How do these pens feel compared to regular pens? In terms of writing

I use them for quilting because they disappear when ironed, fell good to write with

They write like normal pens. They are easy to use and I love that they rub out.

I am a teacher and use these pens all the time. The students like them, too.

Smooth writing and ink flow. My classmate borrowed my pen and two days later bought a pack for herself. She claims it's the best pen ever. I cannot say I blame her, I prefer it over all other gel pens especially for erasability.

I have with a regular ball point pen and so far have not had any trouble but I would not recommend writing with a gel pen. it takes longer for the "ink" to dry.

It feels very similar to their Intuos tablets, except you're drawing on the screen. I've never had the pen slip. It glides smoothly without issues. The screen is not as rough as a piece of paper would feel. There isn't that kind of resistance to the pen that you would feel on a piece of sketch paper. I hope that answers your question.

Hi A. Held! The Friendly Swede here:-) Apologies for the late reply, we're cleaning house on questions and noticed we missed yours! I would describe it as soft and pliable, not a firm writing tip. We do have some that are more firm for writing though, I'd be happy to show you some other options. Let me know if I can help you further at this link:

Its basically the safari, with an aluminum body, depending on what kind of nib you had chosen with the safari, if you had always used extra fine with the safari then this pen basically feels the same in terms of being a little more scratchy than a fine and more so then a medium nib. Depending on your preferences this pen may be better or worse, some people prefer the hard plastic feel of the safari but i personally like the nice cold aluminum that encompasses this pen, it almost feels a little thinner than the safari exterior, and may scratch a little easier, but i still like this more than the safari none the less.

very little bleeding, actually. they write very well on thin paper, even newsprint. but that mostly depends on the ink and quality of the paper... more factors than just the pen. messy? if you write *really* slowly, i could see it getting a little wet and sloppy, but... i don't think you'll have a problem.

I am not a lefty, but I have a coworker who is, these are the only pens he would use because they never smudged when he wrote. Give them a shot, they should work for you.

Hi Meg! While these might work for some with note taking, my recommendation would be our thin tipped pens or our fiber tipped pens (even the fiber tips with the same wider tip like these here would be more responsive than the rubber of the same diameter). You can see both options here:

Yes, absoltely! They have a very clothlike feel. I actally used a black sharpie on a few to test and even an easy to use pain pens in silver/white as well. They looked great!

Not like a fine point pen but thin enough to comfortably write in cursive. I normally use fine point pens and like that type of line. Hope this helps.

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill

Hi Matt...the pens are for my Grandaughters...they write on computer paper with them. Any other paper I would not know about

It's not as cheap feeling but otherwise the original Surface pen functions pretty much identically. So, honestly, it's not really better performing. It IS a nicer stylus though and it does come with extra tips (both firm and soft) and its got some weight to it so it feels better and not as chintzy. The Microsoft stylus does attach to the side of the Surface where this one will not since it's bigger.

They write well; and are good for note-taking, but there might be a little bleed-through for standard lined paper. I'd test it out. Also, good luck with high school.

Yeah they worked great for me. I didn't get any duds. They write in black ink. You can see the tube of black ink in the middle of the pen that's like any other ball point pen.

I us my pen allot daily and the Jetstream has pretty good life. It definitely last longer than the gel pens for comparison.

It writes ok- I love pens as well. I would say it similar to the bic pens you buy in bulk at staples. Not amazing, but satisfactory.
