    Pilot g2 if I had to choose but I’ll stick with my rotring 600 with schmidt easyflow 9000 if it were up to me

    this is left handed discrimination

    source
    • 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Out of fascination how is a left handed pen different? I just grabbed mine and it looks pretty symmetrical. I get the whole ink on hands thing but the meme didn’t say you couldn’t use a pencil or type anymore.

        when you write left-handed you push the nib into the paper rather than dragging it. left-handed pens have angled tips so the nib still drags.

      which one?

    1 and 2 look good but looks are deceiving. 5,6 all the way.

    • BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I like 1 because it’s thin and not a roller type. You only have to imagine writing and you’re doing it. Rollers can be ok, and 5 is a decent example, but 1 used with a ruler for precise drawing, nothing beats that.

      source
      • MasterFlamingo@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        For me one looks like it would be very nice, but it’s just too loose when it comes to writing and the ink smudge is really easily from what I remember. My dad had them all around the house because they look very business like but I don’t really remember enjoying writing with them.

      I would’ve agreed with you 13 years ago, but something changed with the pilot G2s. They went from S tier to B at best. Ironically, I’ve replaced them with 2 now. The Pilot Precision’s have been my favorite for quite awhile now personally

      source
      • MasterFlamingo@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I think I’m more of a bic fan if it comes to pens or pencils But pilots are always been fairly standard. I guess it’s gone downhill which is too bad.

    3, it’s the best one I recognise

      Thank you, I agree.

    • ClamDrinker@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Surprised I had to scroll down so far to find 3, it’s just the same as 5 but with better grip around the finger tips, which avoids the pen from twisting when you hold it tightly.

  • BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    If I HAVE to use a ballpoint, it’s going to have to be a rollerball. Like the Uniball. But really, I’d take just about any fountain pen over any of them.

      • BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Thanks, I think it’s one of my best looking pens. The VP isn’t a VP, it’s a MoonMan A1. I’m not sure if it’s made by Majohn or not, but it is super similar to their A1 and A2 if it’s not. Writes well, good seal. For under $30. Highly recommend.

      Pilot g2 is the way to go

      source
      • FrChazzz@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Was a committed G2 guy for YEARS (ultra fine all the way). But I’m a lefty, so ink smears were still a problem (though the G2 is better than most on that front). Then I learned about the Sarasa Dry pens from Zebra. The ink dries INSTANTLY, and writes like a G2. But they’re hard to find so I always stock up when I see them.

  • callouscomic@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    1 is my choice pen. Always and forever. No other type kept up with me. I use a slightly different variant though.

    source
  • sevan@lemmy.ca ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    5 forever!

    source
  • DicJacobus@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I dont see any on here I would swear by.

    I have taken a liking to the Pilot B2Ps, they are made of recycled water bottles, I liked them simply for the fact that they’re the one type of pen we have in abundance at the office that no one else bothers to steal for some reason.

    I like the Staples TRU RED series too.

    what the hell is wrong with me, a year ago I’d be obsessing over some video game or hobby and now im discussing my pen model preferences, I think I’ve crossed the proto-boomer threshold

  • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    5

    I would pick 3 but I don’t think its ball pen and I have trouble controlling the strength when I press down on the paper.

    • Grimtuck@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I used 5 once and I ended up buying a pack of 10 as they were so good to write with.

    I’d pick 7 if it’s a Bic, but it’s definitely n.3 because of the ergonomics

    I write a lot (I am professor) and pilot g-2 (#5) is the way to go. Don’t be fooled by sharpie’s grip, I just finished a box of that model in red ink and g-2 is way better.

    1 & 2 top picks, then 6 & 7. The rubber sleeves are nice for short notes and whatnot. They get slippery from sweating eventually. Maybe just a me thing.

      Damn, pen so out of shape that he’s sweating.

    1. Uniball.

  • tyler@programming.dev ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    anyone voting G2 hasn’t used one recently, or hasn’t used literally any other pens in that time. I think the G2 is the absolute worst one on the list. At least the bic doesn’t pretend to be able to write very well.

    Uni Mitsubishi .38 I want it too feel like I’m stabbing the paper when I write

      Does it also come in 9mm? I feel like .38 is a bit underpowered.

      source
      • RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        No, but they do have a 30/30 version

    The Bic Cristal (number 7) all day long. They last forever, are dirt cheap and are the best selling pen in the world.

    5, 0.7mm

    • Crashumbc@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      You lost me at the fat tip

      source
      • noisefree@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Preference aside, I’ve found that most others use the 0.5mm and that that means my pens usually find their way back to me when borrowed. I generally like the way the increased flow feels and don’t experience a difference in control vs the finer tip. That said, the 1.0mm is crazy and feels like I am trying to paint, so I definitely get how others that prefer the finer tip might feel about my preference.

    Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.

    So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.

    source
  • MagnyusG@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Pentel ENERgel pens.

    But if I had to choose, 2 or 5. I have 3 at work and while it is nice, I don’t know if it has the same kind of staying power 2 or 5 do.
