Smooth, comfortable gel pen with minimal bleed and
The Sharpie S-Gel Medium Point (0.7mm) pen writes really smoothly and feels comfortable in hand. The ink flows consistently without bleeding through most paper, and it dries quickly, so there’s minimal smearing. The pen feels durable and reliable, and it’s a great value for everyday writing, school, or notes.

Very disappointed!
I could not wait to try these as I am a Sharpie fan. I was very disappointed in the performance of the 0.7mm gel pens. The pen does not glide across the paper at all and the the writing is blotchy. Sadly, I cannot recommend them.

I use these pens at work and at hone all the time. Only problem is everyone wants to steal them. Just buy your own everyone. It's definitely worth the money. Hands down you can't beat these pens!!

Reliable option
These are a great new product from a trusted brand. They have become a go to item for me. I like that it’s a click pen instead of a cap. The ink is vibrant and smooth. It does get rough occasionally.

Long lasting pens !
Sharpie pens are my go-to when I need bold, long-lasting color that doesn’t fade. The quality is consistently reliable—each pen writes smoothly with a strong, even ink flow and no skipping. The pigment is vibrant and stays put on almost any surface, whether I’m labeling storage bins, creating art, or writing notes.

My favorite pen
My favorite pen. Writes smooth and dark. Line isn't too thin. And doesn't bleed everywhere either. Doesn't bleed through papers to other side like standard sharpies or markers

Good value. Smooth writing
These pens write really nice. I love the ink flow and how smooth the writing is. Good value for the money you spend. I like that you get 4 in a package. They are really comfortable to use when writing. The ink dries pretty quickly.

Lackluster pen quality
This pen is just okay. It does not come out very thick and the flow of the ink is not very good. It does feel good in your hand when you’re using it but it’s just overall not the best on paper.

Response from Staples :
Hello Marisam! Thank you for sharing your experience with the Sharpie® S-Gel, Medium Point (0.7mm). We’re glad to hear that the pen feels comfortable in your hand ✍️, but we’re sorry the ink flow and line thickness did not meet your expectations. 🔧 I can provide you with some tips for smoother writing: 1. Store pens horizontally to help maintain even ink distribution. 2. Use on smooth, non-porous paper for optimal ink flow and consistent lines. ✨ Alternatives you may consider: - Sharpie® S-Gel Bold Point (1.0mm) for a thicker, more noticeable line. - Sharpie® S-Gel Fine Point (0.5mm) for a crisper, more precise writing experience. If you run into any difficulties or have product-specific questions, feel free to reach out to us via our website or LiveChat. We’re available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM ET, and are happy to assist in any way we can. Have a nice day! Sharpie Consumer Care Team

No smearing
The first gel pen I’ve ever actually liked! Comfortable to write with and has fast drying ink so you don’t smear your page as you continue writing.

My favorite pen of all time.
One of my favorite writing utensils. This brand is great for heavyhanded folks like myself. It's comfortable and the ink never seems to clog or run out. It's pretty sleek but not too thin. Dries fast and easy on the wallet.

My favorite pen
These pens are wonderful! I don’t press down too hard when I write so most times you cannot understand or see clearly what I’m writing. But these pens flow so effortlessly. These are my favorite pens. They don’t smudge; so they dry really fast. The also last pretty long. I buy these pens all the time.

Sharpies for the win
Sharpies has some of the best writing tools. These gel pens specifically glide on so neatly and dont have an insane amount of ink so they do not smudge.

Devine Gel pens for the everyday
Sharpie S Gel pens will always be my top pick when it comes to my pens. I use these daily and the ink flow is steady and drying time minimal meaning the ink doesn't smudge. I love the grips, these help reduce discomfort on days where I am taking alot of notes.

Affordable and reliable
I use these all day every day. They’re totally affordable and the ink flows smoothly and dries fast. My fingers don’t cramp trying to grip them even when I’m taking a ton of notes. They’re excellent office pens!

Smooth flow, thick gel
My husband absolutely loves these - we have them all over the house. They’re not my absolute favorite - the gel and point size is a little too thick for me. But in general they’re pretty good!
