I work in a county prison. The area that I work at requires me to write and use a pen more than any other area. I like these pens very much. I like them so much, that I show them to my coworkers and even give them one to try out. So far, I have gotten six coworkers that like this pen alot. Two or three of them will even go buy a pack for themselves. I have used other pens, gel as well as other ball-points, but the others seems to skip and smear too much. This type does neither. Truly, I love this pen.

Too bad it's environmentally un-friendly
I hate that it's not refillable, since I love everything else about the pen. I bought the box only because I thought they'd be refillable. I'm environmentally conscious, so that's an important consideration ...Read complete review
I hate that it's not refillable, since I love everything else about the pen. I bought the box only because I thought they'd be refillable. I'm environmentally conscious, so that's an important consideration for me. The box I bought is almost used up---and I'll miss them---but I won't buy another, knowing how environmentally unfriendly they are. If only you'd sell the refills!

The pen does skip... every once in a blue moon I will get one that starts to skip but it is most likely due to that I used that one up . I buy quite a few of them !!

I use your Xeno pens everyday. I love the feel of the pen & use it to write in my diary. It never skips (except when it is running out of ink) so I count on it for any writing I do. I use both the black & the blue ink pens.
