Great Pen. And Attractive.
A very nice pen. Comfortable to us. Works well. Looks nice. Why don’t they sell it in the stores?

Stopped working after a few minutes.
These pens didn’t even last long enough to sign myself into a school I was working at. Each pen in the pack had the same problem.

Do not write
This product is a joke. I bought a pack of 5. Two would not write at all. I tried several different surfaces. One wrote about 10 to 15 words then gave out. I haven't even tried the last two. A pen that won't write is not worth anything. FYI staples......

No ink
I love these pens but they don’t write. The ink will come out for one word and then just stop. I can get it to start again but the same thing happens again. Every pen in the pack.

A big drop off from the previous quality
The Xeno disposable ballpoint used to be my go-to choice for pens. They were well-built, affordable, and wrote nicely. It's been a couple of years since I purchased them and this generation only has a few superficial similarities to the old one. The build quality is terrible - cheap, lightweight materials - and the writing is worse. I threw away the first two pens i...

Xeno pens — black ink, black barrel
Love the pens — hate the price!! Bought the identical pens with blue ink, blue barrel at one-third the price!! What’s up with that?? Will clearly buy pens with black ink at another store from now on!!

Defective
I bought a 5 pack and all 5 will not write for more than one and a half word at a time. I tried everything to get the ink flowing but they will not write fluently. I have been using the Xeno pen for at least 5yrs and have never had this problem. Hopefully they haven't changed the ink formula and I just got a bad batch. I will be returning them.

Defective pens
These pens seemed nice enough on the website for less than $1 each. Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews beforehand, most say the pens are defective right out of the pack, which was exactly my experience. Five out of five pens did not work. Staples Customer Service was very responsive and issued a refund immediately.

They don't write very well
The ink comes out for a while, then runs dry, then starts again. I would not buy these again

Worst pens
These were practically out of ink straight out of the package, couldn’t write smoothly. The 1 pen out of the whole pack that was decent stopped working after 2 days. Don’t buy!!

staples brand ball point pen
They were all dried up...I had to return them. I then bought another pack of a Staples ball pens and some of them barely write. I am very disappointed with my initial purchase as those ones were my all time favorite. Would you look into why they were all dried up as I am still interested in those pens,

Major disappointment
These have been my "go to" pens for over a decade. They were not available for a few months and I wondered why. I was happy to see they were available again and ordered a fairly large supply. Unfortunately none of the pens worked. I tried 7 different pens (from 7 different boxes in my shipment) and none were functional. Obviously these are being made by a different, inf...
