I'm commenting the good ones AFTER I exchanged the bads to Pilot HQ. When these pens are behaving properly, they write so good and smooth. If skipping is an issue (mine is a big deal), then opt for #10 instead of #07, since they are less susceptible. Otherwise, Zebra Jimnie Gel Medium is a good alternative.

I tried to use these pens to grade papers, and they were HORRIBLE. All 12 pens in the box either stopped writing after a few minutes of use, or the ink never came out in the first place. I have had luck with other colors of G2 pens, so I was surprised that these were so horrible. [...]I hope others will heed my cautionary tale and avoid buying these in the first place. The pens I switched to are great: Pentel EnerGel Needle Tip, 0.7mm.

The Pilot G2 .07 purple allows my notes and work to stand out. I have been using these pens for many years and have always been satisfied with everyone of them.
