Sharpie is the Brand we all love
I get this as complimentary in exchange for my honest review. Love sharpie sooo much, been my fave brand since im at school. This Gel pen is really nice, perfect to hold on finger and the ink very smooth and dry quickly so will not stain on the finger.

They are worthless. The point dries quickly. Too quick to do any writing. Very frustrating. Would not recommend.

Great pen!
I LOVE sharpie pens and was so excited to try this one! I love how the gel glides smooth and easily on the paper—it’s perfect for everyday.
I also loved how comfortable it was to hold because it’s a bit thicker than other pens.

Wonderful pen!
I absolutely love this pen from Sharpie. The color of this pen is so pretty but the performance is amazing! The grip is soft and its super easy to hold and feels secure in my hand. The gel and glide of the pen while you write is effortless. This isn't like a ballpoint pen, the gel just glides on the paper and feels like I need little to no pressure to write. The print i...

Even bold flow
Comfortable grip and bold black ink. Product is easy to take on the go and use on multiple types of writings or drawings. Also the flow of the ink comes out evenly.

Putting pen to paper with Sharpie!
I’ll be honest. I was so excited about these pens, I literally bought a pack before this sample even arrived. These are awesome. They write cleanly, clearly and are comfortable for small hands to hold. I have at least a half dozen in my home office and on-site office to comfortably capture my thoughts and goals. Let’s go 2026 with Sharpie!

The black is rich and bold without looking messy or overly thick, and the 0.7mm medium tip creates clean limes that are perfect for note-taking, planners, journal...

It’s and works great!
It writes like a dream! The ink is rich and flows smoothly. I’ve been using this for a bit now for studying and making flash card and it just kept going! I have not had to switch pens yet. The tip of the pen is good but be careful of leaving on the page or whatever your writing on because the ink mark will grow. Over all this is a great product!

Amazing
Honestly could not be more thrilled by these pens. They are a new favorite. They look so high end on the paper very rich and smooth. They dry so fast so no smearing. They work
perfectly from the start and have lasted. They are comfortable to hold with a soft grip area and have been so clean not messy or any leaking.

Made the “write” choice
I love them for their markers, but I didn’t realize that Sharpie was also killing it in the pen game! I was pleasantly surprised by these. Their gel pens are very ergonomic, easy to write with, and they actually make me want to take notes more! My only concerns would be of them potentially drying out quickly or not containing a lot of product (I’ve experienced that befo...

Not impressed
These pens I was so excited to receive due to me thinking they were going to write smoothly, the grip is okay but I must say I was disappointed in the way they wrote. The way they wrote felt like I was writing on grits, I didn’t like the way these pens performed.

Response from Staples :
Hello Natasha!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Sharpie S‑Gel Fashion Barrel, 0.7mm pens. I’m really sorry to hear that the writing feel wasn’t what you expected. When a pen feels scratchy or rough — especially when you’re hoping for a smooth, gliding gel experience — it can be really disappointing.
I’m glad the grip worked well for you, but I completely understand how the writing performance affected your overall impression. If you still have the pens, here are a few tips that may help improve the smoothness:
Tips to Improve Writing Smoothness
1. Try writing on smoother paper — gel pens can feel gritty on more textured pages.
2. Warm the pen in your hand for a moment to help the gel ink flow more evenly.
3. Scribble lightly on scrap paper to prime the tip and remove any dried ink.
4. Use lighter pressure — gel pens often perform better with a softer touch.
5. Store the pens horizontally to keep the ink balanced inside the barrel.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and it helps highlight where the writing experience can be improved. If you ever need help finding a pen that offers a truly smooth glide, we’d be happy to point you toward some great options.
Please don't hesitate to reach out! We’re available Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 5 PM ET.

Smooth Writing & Stylish Design – A New Favorite P
The Sharpie S-Gel Ocean Fog 0.7mm (black ink) is officially one of my favorite everyday pens. If you love a smooth-writing pen, this one truly writes like butter. The ink flows consistently without skipping, and the 0.7mm tip gives a bold, clean line that looks great on paper.
Beyond performance, I really love the Ocean Fog color — it’s subtle but still cute and modern...
