PILOT G2 Premium Gel Pens, Bold Point 1.0mm, Black Ink, 4-Pack

Filler words: Quality, Color, Appearance, Sharpening, Smudge-resistant, Ink drying time Yes to fine point, yes to nice Appearance, there’s no skipping at all, nice durability, nice size. ‼️Tested six high-quality bold blue pens. 🎀As you can see from the pictures, they're all pleasing to look at and there really are no visible blemishes at first glance. They're all beautiful and feel mostly smooth to write with overall. I’d rate most of them a 10/10 and the lowest I'd rate one would be a 7.8/10. Again, they're all either excellent or good cuz I chose some of the best in the market IMO. This is technically me nitpicking out of a really good batch of bold pens. 🛴Smoothness/Glide rank from most to least: 1. Pilot Precise V10 RT & PILOT G2 Premium Gel Pen & are hands down THE smoothest pens I've ever written with. Glides extremely easily AND feels extremely satisfying to use. 10/10. The hype is actually real and I get why they're popular now. The V10 one is smoother but they’re both super close. 2. Pentel EnerGel is 2nd place, still VERY smooth, glides quickly, airy feeling, light feeling. Very close to Pilot G2. I rate it a 9.7/10 just because Pilot V10 is clearly the smoothness king. Still an excellent smoothness on Pentel tho! Still satisfying to write with. 3. Schneider and Uniball are in third place together because they FEEL identical. Like if I were writing with my eyes closed with both of them, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. I rate them both a 9/10 in smoothness because there's this slightly heavy, slightly rough feeling when using them. Still smooth, just not V10 smooth. Something to also note is that Uniball has a very slight 2% skip. It's rare when it skips, but it's the only one that does it out of the bunch. Slightly irritating. Mainly happens when you begin on a new letter/word. Very clear though if you look closely at all the number eights I wrote. Uniball is the only one who's #8 isn't completely formed. 4. BIC Gelocity is in 4th place because it's the roughest feeling of the bunch. It still is smooth, it just feels kinda scratchy. Like 9% rough and scratchy. It's not bad, it's just there. I'd be able to tell it apart from the rest with my eyes closed though. I rate it a 8.5/10 in smoothness. I'd still use it. 🩸Least bleed to most bleed ranking: 1. BIC Gelocity did not bleed through much on the back of the paper. The opacity of the writing on the back of the paper is like 5%. I'd probably go for this one if I was going to write down notes on regular, thin-ish paper often as I'd use the front and back paper. 2. Pentel Energel opacity on the back of the paper looks like 7%. Would also use this one on regular/thin paper. 3. Pilot G2 looks like it's at 10% opacity. 4. Pilot Precise V10 looks like 14% opacity. There's very faint “fluff” or “spikes” or “fractals” of the ink. Just barely. Hardly noticeable. 5. Uniball Vision is at 17% opacity. Something to note about the ink is that there's very faint “fluff” or “spikes” or “fractals” that form when writing with it. Hardly visible but I'm very perceptive and just notice it ok. 6. Schneider looks like 21% opacity. Additionally, Schneider was the only one with slightly significant bleeding on the NEXT page, (the page after the page written (idk). Minimal though. Looks like light scritches, hardly noticeable. Would not use regularly for front and back note-taking unless the paper is thick. I'm using regular spiral notebook paper. Also, it has the fluffy thing I talked about too and it has it more than Uniball and the V10. They're in order here. ✒️Pen Anatomy/Clicking/Comfortability: They all feel like the same lvl of comfortability to me tbh (the hold). I write with hard pressure so maybe my hand is just resistant to it by now idek. Anyways, the quietest clicking sound of the bunch and the most comfortable feel of click on the thumb and index finger would have to be BIC Gelocity IMO. Clicker easily goes down, isn't too loud. It's like the shy one of the bunch. The highest-pitched one is the Pilot V10 but it's also not too loud, I don't like how the clicker feels on my thumb tho. You can feel the spring and a hollowness when you click the Pentel Energel pen lol, I can feel a slight vibration to it, like it's a bit empty inside, it's only for a second but yeah. Idk about the Pilot G2, it's clicker is the hardest to press down but nothing crazy. The sound is meh, kinda loudish idk. 🖊️Smudge proof test in pictures: I don't write with my left hand which is clear lol I'm actually right-handed, but I wanted to test which of these pens would smudge badly if I were a left-handed user but I'm not a left-handed user so I drove my finger across the ink as I wrote to kinda simulate it and I did two smudge tests. If I were left-handed the best of these six pens would have to be Pentel Energel and the Pilot Precise V10. I guess it depends on how fast you write too cuz then it might not give the ink enough time to fully dry but Pentel is the best mainly for left-handed users due to nice quality, smoothness, and smudge-proofness, and the fact that it doesn't skip at all and has minimal bleeding on the back of the page. But if you're right-handed, you won't have to worry about the smudging at all and have more options.

Smooth, bold ink flow !! Writing dream

Really like these pens. Affordable. Smooth writing. I did have a couple ink gaps but corrected right sesy

Pilot G2 pen writes very well and I especially like the medium point, blue ink features. So glad I gave this pen a try.

Love a bold pen, requires very little pressure, can write for hours!!! For people that write pages per day, this pen effortlessly glides across any paper.

Love a good gel pen and these are perfect. Ink flow is good no smudges or leak thru.

I want to give these 5 stars so badly because I LOVE these pens. They are hands down my favorite, and I actually go out of my way to make sure I have this specific G2 and this specific 1.0 bold point in my purse, office, and planner. I love the thick, smooth line and how easily they write. The only reason I stick with 4 stars is the same reason I give pretty much any thick gel pen 4 stars: they smudge. I refuse to give up my bold point, but I also haven’t found a thick gel pen that gives me the line I want without some smudging. If G2 ever figures out how to make the 1.0 write exactly like this without smearing, it would genuinely be my perfect pen. Until then, this is about as close as I’ve found. 😉

These pens have good ink that flows j and looks good. Dries quickly so doesn't smear.

The price was a rip-off. I've found another price which was 25% of what I paid.

These G2 gel pens, with Bolt point, have now become my favorite pen to write with. Very comfortable in my hand and the bold point gives excellent results when I use it. I didn't find as good a quality of handwriting when I tried their same product in a Fine point.

Este modelo de pluma de Gel, es de punto GRUESO (Bold # 10)..... En caso de preferir puntos más delgados, tendrán que pedir los de punta # 7 (FINO) o # 3.8 (ULTRAFINO)..... Estoy satisfecho con el producto.

These Wright really nicely great function good value for money smudged resistant remind me of my Fountain pen look very professional. I have always bought these and will always continue to definitely recommend good value for money.
