Office Basics Done Well
Big fan of these pens. Attention to detail is obvious as soon as you take it out of the package with the tip covers to ensure it writes the first time it touches paper.
The ink itself is the same shade and tone as any other major brand, and the tip width is nice. The tail end of pen strokes is finer and avoids sloppy blotches at the end of words.

No ink
These pens are great - except that they fail to fulfill the primary role of a pen - which is to write.
Pros - these pens are so comfortable and have the best grip I’ve ever used. When I got the first one out of the box, I was impressed.
Cons - once I started writing, it was immediately apparent that the ink was having a hard time flowing. It happens with pens when th...

I like this pen because the writing is easily seen and does not smear or bleed.

Smooth ink and great value
Overall I am really enjoying writing with this pen. The look is very sleek and professional. I used the pen at a recent meeting and received a compliment! The pen is comfortable to write with - it has a nice grip at the bottom. I love the way the pens writes, it glides smoothly on the paper. I tried it in both my planner and a notebook. It does smear slightly but nothin...

Awesome no smear pen great for lefties
Wow! I am so impressed by the quality of this own! You can TRY to smear the ink and it won’t BUDGE! this is so rare with gel pens. My husband is a lefty and can never use gel pens for this reason- until now! It’s his new go-to work pen. The ink dispersal is also very even, and it doesn’t come out in big clumps, even after using it for a while. My husband and I both have...

Great pen
This Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is great! I work from home and take lots of notes for my job, so I need a reliable pen that doesn't smudge when I write. This pen is just that! I usually have to worry about dry time with gel pens but not with this one. I can run my hand over it almost immediately after writing and it doesn't smear or smudge. I think the design of...

Smooth and comfortable
This pen is so comfortable to hold and use! It writes very smoothly without needing to apply much pressure. The ink is pigmented, but it dries quickly and doesn’t smear. This pen is one of my favorite to use and I will continue to use it for note taking, writing cards and anything else I would need to use a pen for.

Just may become a writter
I am always reluctant to try a new pen. With having arthritis and most likely some sensory issues I am beyond picky in the instruments I choose to write with.
Given my recent experience with this ProGel 1.0 mm pen though, I Just may become a writer.
The ProGel fits in my hand nicely and allows for a secure grip without feeling overly bulky. It is a nice weight and...

Better than the old fave
I love my pens, despite doing a lot of computer work, and I absolutely love a bold rich gel pen. I used to have an old go-to brand, but when using the 1.0’s I’ve noticed the quality decrease with lots of leaking and smudging. I was skeptical of a store brand, though, until I tried these. Honestly they are way better- very little smudging and no inkey fingers afterwards....

Great match of quality and cost
Absolutely love these pens for backups. These are quite comfortable in the hand and for a 1mm the ink dries quickly. If you are a southpaw it still won’t dry fast enough. Is not a pen that handles an hour long meeting taking physical notes but for quick notes at the desk, it will be my go to.

Best Pens Ever
These pans are the best pens I’ve ever used. They are so lightweight and easy to grip. When writing, they glide nicely and the writing comes across so smooth. You don’t even need to apply pressure when writing because the glide across the paper is effortless.
Additionally, the ink dried instantaneously so there were no smudges.

Great Pen
This pen writes extremely well on all different types of paper. The gel doesn’t run and the thickness of the works extremely for my writing style. The grip was smooth and writing over a long time did not cause any cramping. Overall good pen.

Great gel pen
The look and design of the Staples ProGel pen is sleek and modern. The retractable feature is both practical and adds to its polished aesthetic. The soft grip is a nice touch, providing a visually appealing contrast to the black barrel while ensuring functionality.

High quality and glides easily
I’m a huge fan of high quality pens that write well, and these Staples Retractable ProGel Pens are perfect! I tried them on a couple difference paper types too and the results are consistently smooth writing. The grip is very comfortable and allows for nice control. I prefer retractable pens because ones with covers often go missing, so this design is exactly what I pre...

Love Them Thick
I love the 1.0mm thick ProGel pens. The thicker, the better. My hand writing is so-so to begin with but with thicker point pens I tend to fair a bit better. This pen has what I feel is the new classic look without the premium price. Fits great in my hand, doesn’t fade out when writing too quickly, and looks good inside my portfolio. I’m always taking notes at work so ha...

Definitely Delivers
I received the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen, Bold Point, 1.0 mm with blank ink through the Stellar Review Panel. I love a good gel pen and let me tell you, this one definitely delivers! Outside of being excited this pen is retractable, no bulky cap needed, I was happy to see that the pen is transparent and allows you to see ink levels. It’s so frustrating to not k...

Good gel pen
I consider myself a pen snob - so this review is very truthful. I enjoy trying different handwriting fonts and need a good pen to write and then go in and fill in bolder parts of the letters … gel pens are not my go to but after trying this pen, I was very happy and surprised by how well it turned out. The ink was very fluid when writing out the letters the first time. ...

Excellent gel pen
This gel pen is one of my new favorites. I work in an office where I do a lot of writing, and the pen’s firm, 3-sided, textured grip makes using it not only more comfortable, it also makes it easier to write for longer periods of time. The pen glides and propels me smoothly across the page, no matter how much pressure I write with (I tend to be heavy-handed). I noticed ...

No complaints
This pen has easily matched the performance of any other gel pen I've used. It's very easy to write with, smooth, doesn't bleed through, and doesn't smudge easily. I don't have any complaints about it, and it seems like it will last a long time.

Precision Pen
I was surprised at how well this "generic" pen ranked compared to the leading pens on the market. I was expecting a ho hum, standard pen but what I got was a far superior pen.
I typically by fine point pens as I usually need something that has some precision to it. But I was so impressed to see this "bold" pen. I was able to write tiny and legible. Each letter was clea...

Love These Pens
Staples ProGel Retractable Pens are my new favorites. They write smooth and don’t leave a smudge at all! They are easy to hold and grip to prevent any slipping. The ink is a bold black which is great for the type of work I do. I’ve replaced all of my pens with these and even brought a box to take to my office. I highly recommended!
