Mitsubishi Pencil UMNSP38.30 Gel Ballpoint Pen Uni-Ball One P 0.38 Coffee

I gotta say, I didn’t expect to love a pen like this!My boyfriend bought this for me originally saying “this one won awards in Japan!” And I brushed it off and said thank you. But I love it so much I bought three more lol!I see why it won awards now, very smooth, no skips or blots. Comfortable to hold even though it’s a little bit thick and short. I’m going to keep buying these!

It's a lovely little pen that won Japanese awards in the stationary category. It's well designed. The yellow was a cool color and even very very very slightly green – like a banana.

I’m not usually very particular about my pens, but this one is great! I love the short length and wider width. It’s very comfortable and writes well. I actually bought two more in different colors.

4.5 love this pen, easy to grip and ink doesnt smeat.cute colors, too.i even bought 3 colors. unfortunately mine fell from the table and now wont write. bought refills.

Just a normal pen

Worked great for almost year and then stopped working. I really loved this pen at first, the small nib and gel flowed great, didn’t smear really, and it was small enough for me to tote around easily. That was until I tried to use it last week and nothing came out. I still had plenty of ink left, so that wasn’t the issue. I’ve tried to use it everyday for the last week and it never worked. For an expensive pen, I’m pretty disappointed in its longevity.

Very smooth writing; lovely texture on the body of the pen. The size is perfect for what I was looking for.

TL;DWR. The pen writes fantastically and has great ink, the body is above average in build quality and ergonomically very comfortable. However the spring isn't changeable and for me was squeaky right off the bat.The Uni-Ball One P is an interesting little pen with it's stocky design. The overall build quality is quite nice and It's no heavier or lighter than most pens; I found it quite comfortable to hold even with larger hands.The plastic body itself feels fairly premium?Definitely not cheap feeling but also not completely outstanding, with the walls of the pen being just a tad too thin for it's extra circumference, leading the barrel to have some "hollowness" to it. Which overall makes it feel less dense than you think it would. However the thicker body means it doesn't need any sort of grip or rubber to hold very comfortably.The click of the pen feels disappointingly soft and the spring is quite squeaky (more on the spring later) but the actual writing experience is very nice and the ink is incredible, outperforming my previous favorite ink from Energel. It's incredibly dark, very smooth flow and very very quick to dry (like seriously the only way I could get it to smear was inking a circle in completely and then very quickly running my finger across).The pen clip being made of metal and separate from the pen body is also very nice, it means you don't have to worry about a plastic piece that can break off as the metal would bend before it would break.Now about that spring... Well it's hidden, and not removable from what I can tell, and the same goes for the push button/thrust device. Which comes with both a pro and a con, the pro being you can't lose anything when opening the pen to change ink. The con being you can't replace the spring, period. Which I could actually see being a great thing if you're giving this to a kid who likes taking stuff apart. But if you're like me and want to be able to change the spring it's pretty unfortunate. Especially since it doesn't sound all that great out of the box, though it might be smoothed out with a little mechanical keyboard lube.Again, overall a great little pen. Very aesthetic appearance wise and also comfortable to hold. With the ink being the true hidden gem of this pen. (But I gotta dock a star for the squeaky spring)
