Everyday use smooth and stylish ProGel

I’ve been really happy with the ProGel Metal Barrel pens. The ergonomic, molded grip sits comfortably in my hand and makes writing feel easy and controlled. My fingers did get a little sweaty during longer writing sessions, but the grip still stayed secure and didn’t get slippery, which I appreciated.
The writing performance is excellent. The ink flows smoothly with no...

Bold and Comfortable

As someone that is very picky about pens, the ProGel proved to be comfortable and reliable. I tend to press really hard when I write and rest the pen on my ring finger due to hyper mobility, but the cushion on the barrel was soft enough to cushion while not smooshing under the pressure. I liked how bold the gel was so the writing was super readable. The gel even held up...

amazing pen

I loved this product due to its simplicity and easy to hold grip. It was super easy to hold and write with! I work in a school and write with it daily for reports and data taking. I have never gotten any smudges and it glides on the paper every time. I loved the metal design as it weighs a bit more giving a more precise look every time I write.

Great pen

I didn’t expect to care much about a pen, but this one surprised me in the best way. The grip is really comfortable and just settles into my hand, so even after writing for a while I didn’t get that usual hand cramp. The ink comes out super smooth with no skipping or smudging, and it dries quickly enough that I never smeared it. The metal design makes it feel a little m...

Great solid pen

I’ve been using this pen for a few weeks now. First thing that stood out to me is how solid it is. It is really made of metal as it stuck to the back of my iPhone. It sure will last for a while, which is great in my line of work as a mobile tech carrying tools around. Many plastic pens end up breaking just because of getting smashed or caught between something.
I am pic...

The Perfect Pen

This pen has everything I'd want in a pen. Comfortable, molded grip that's easy to hold, substantial but not bulky. The pen writes smoothly, with no smudging or skipping. Definitely a 10/10!

Great Pen

Honestly, this pen is a total win. The ergonomic grip feels super natural and comfortable in my hand, making it easy to write without any cramping. The ink flow is buttery smooth—I didn't get a single skip or smudge even when scribbling fast. Plus, the sleek metal design gives it a premium weight that feels expensive but practical. It’s rare to find a pen that looks thi...

Perfect Everyday Pen

These pens write extremely smooth and make taking notes during my work calls much more pleasant. They have not dried out on me even once the last week I’ve been using them. They don’t smudge.
They are also sleek but what stood out to me the most was how ergonomic they were. I spend most of my day writing or typing for my job and my hand did not cramp with these pens. ...

a very smooth and sleek gel pen

Love how smooth this pen is! Vivid, clear ink comes out smooth and seamless. Even as a leftie, I had no issue with this gel pen. It is a fairly basic, but comfortable grip-- not too cushioned, but enough.
I like the design as well-- very sleek, and feels almost silky to the touch. Only downside is that at first touch down of pen to paper, it takes a second to get for ...

Sleek and Pleasing but at times inconsistent

The Staples ProGel ELITE with metal barrel design was a standout feature, with its sleek, all-black body offering a modern and professional esthetic. In terms of comfort, it was ergonomically sound and exceptionally easy to grip, making it a pleasure to use for extended writing sessions. The ink performed well in two key areas: it didn't smudge or skip, which is a signi...

Reliable pen with a high end look

The sleek metal design stood out to me right away - it definitely looked more high-end as soon as I opened the packaging. I know looks aren't everything when it comes to a pen - but it is a nice looking one! It does write smoothly - I wouldn't say overly smooth, but it's nice and consistent. Definitely didn’t notice any skipping or smudging which I really appreciated (s...

Exceptionally Smooth Pen

The Staples ProGel Metal Barrel, 0.7mm far exceeded my expectations. The pen is the perfect weight, not too light or heavy. The soft squishy molded grip is a true bonus. I tend to have a strong grip when writing so I really appreciate the comfort provided by the grip.
The ProGel wrote incredibly smooth with no smudges or breaks. The ink is an inky black. I love sending ...

Great Gel Pen

Overall a great gel pen! The grip isn't quite what im used to with my normal gel pen that I use, but by no means is it a bad grip. It was comfortable, my fingers just fit on the grip lower than what im used to holding. I didn't have any issues with the pen skipping or globs of ink building up on the tip of the pen as with some other pens. I did notice if I would press h...
