The Pilot P-500 Gel Ink Rollerball Pen, Extra Point, 0.5 mm, Black is just an amazing joy to write and draw with. Here’s a couple of other fine endorsements from amazon.com.

My favorite pen. Period., December 14, 2006
I can’t believe I’m writing a review of a pen, but this has been my favorite for years. It’s virtually impossible to find the P-500 in office supply stores (the thicker 0.7mm P-500 is the one sold by Office Max, Target, etc), but the P-500 has typically been a “special order”. I like that it makes a very smooth, consistent line (lots of gel rollers “hiccup” and leave blank spaces on the page) and writes first time, every time. I also prefer the finer point of the P-500 because I often write quite small and it makes a very precise line. Like other reviewers, I’ve bought more expensive technical pens, but none has matched up to this “pedestrian” drug store pen. I doubt I’ll ever write another review of a pen, but this one is worth it. |

Best pen in the world, October 17, 2006
I know some crazy people who like ballpoints and just don’t like this pen, but I love it. I’m sure you could go buy some fancy boutique brand for hundreds of dollars or an artist-specific brand and really expensive ink, but for something off the shelf, there’s nothing better. The ink is smooth and consistent. The fine tip is super precise. It feels great in your hand. For writing or drawing this is just plain the best pen in the world. Unfortunately they are getting harder to find in stores so buy a bunch now and stockpile them! |
