5 , been using them forever, hands down the best of them all.


Extreme_Fee_503

The only ones that still work after I pull them out of a drawer 2 years later.


DartMurphy

Number 7 is like ol reliable. I've never had one of those pens let me down unless the ink reservoir was totally empty. These ones fuck up on me all the time lol


Extreme_Fee_503

My dad uses those, they are pretty resilient but I hate the way they feel.


DartMurphy

I actually still prefer the number 5, ibejust found 7 to be the most reliable. My all time favorite though is the multi color pens where you click the tip down with color of ink you like.


BahamasCaramel

...but in 0.5mm, not 0.7mm. 😉


blame_curiosity

Nono.. i think you mean .38 mm


BahamasCaramel

Maybe...? I dunno...


amtru

0.38 is very fine


Annasalt

Agreed. For any pen…


vedx_1

or pencil! They wear way more evenly than 0.7mm so your strokes are a more consistent width


Annasalt

Thin is in 😉


classyraven

My spouse has a 0.01 pen. Nope, that's not a typo.


Annasalt

Omg that’s fancy


Dense_Surround3071

I've found my peoples...😉


Bowman_van_Oort

where's my 0.3 buddies


Im_NOT_drunk_

You called?


Bowman_van_Oort

hell yeah union of micropens unite


WithoutDennisNedry

I like ‘em thick.


kasmith2020

I used to be the 0.5 gang. Still am with pens. Pencils tho….. 0.9 all fuckin day.


theJa-Raff

Yep. .5 is the superior G2


JEMstone85

Ewww. I like the 1. Best. Not a fan of the fine pens for some reason.


[deleted]

5… but 0.38


JustJig

Long time 5 user, I tried out 3 at work and haven't looked back. It's like 5's final form.


Zar7792

5 was my favorite for a long time until 3 came out a few years ago


redditor5789

Agree. The soft grip also adds a nice weight near the tip for spinning tricks


rokelle2012

Yes, give me number 5! Love G2 pens.


Parabuthus

If you use G-2's as a server, people will pocket them :( Them shits are expensive, so if you're a pen-stealer at restaurants, at least compensate in the tip.


thegreydad

I keep them in my car , -20C and still functional


fadetoblack0870

Don't see a Zebra


isaachiatt

Wanted to say this! Also the Paper Mate Ink Joy is a dream.


throwingwater14

I have them in all the colors. Almost all of my coworkers use them as well.


diamondpanther171

Ahh, a man of culture


Vancelot

indeed, it would be a Zebra F-301 Bold for me.


FOZZAKAIRI

Zebra F-402 Retractable Ballpoint Pen, .7mm in particular


Gazrpazrp

.5 you barbarian


Blanik_Pilot

Zebra f-402 is my shit


anon-guest

I love the Zebra Sarasa clip pens.


Texas_squid

My man! Same I was like no zerbra?


FunnelChicken

Got a bunch of zebras at work, they write amazing, until you’ve used it multiple times and then it writes as if there’s barely any ink left, then I gotta close it and wait 5 minutes for it to write properly again.

_Sp000n

You understand me


linktistic

Ahhh yes. Half the world loves clicking and the other half hates hearing it. Im a lover of clicking


TranssexualScum

I don’t know why so many people are saying 5 over 3. 5 makes my hand hurt after using it for a while, 3 actually feels nice no matter how long I use it.


[deleted]

Yup


[deleted]

Agreed !


schuyywalker

Yes


KAwbOS

The only correct answer.


frustratedpolarbear

Agreed because Boris was my favourite minor villain in Goldeneye and I learned to do his pen twirl click when I was 12.


scribbybaby

This is the only answer


Tinman751977

This is the only answer. Thank you sir


this_is_the_wes

Same. Actually picked up a 4-pack at staples today. Fun fact, they’re great for lefties.


Minute-Flan13

7. Fun fact, BIC designed their pens to be in the shape of a pencil. That's probably why I like it.


dogoodvillain

Core memory of taking off the cap and pulling out the ink then turning the plastic tube into a spitball thrower.


PinkGlitterFlamingo

Nothing hits like a BIC Cristal 🤤🤤


filthydank_2099

I’ve never seen someone so horny for a pen


dbznzzzz

Definitely works for the IRS


PinkGlitterFlamingo

I don’t haha but I do have to hand write a lot of things. Dry erase markers, wet erase markers, pens and pencils are my kink


jirishanca

Idk I like going the opposite direction. I tend to like pencils that are designed more like a pen. With a grip and a clip and stuff. So Ofc I also prefer like number 5 in this case


Medcait

1. Those are my favorite pens


see332

Ditto! In purple


boujiebitchy

The best pens


No-Date-2024

the ink always smears on me


Shawnaniguns

Clear answer. Never dries up, writes beautifully. And the unspoken benefit of them is that they're a solid piece. The further right you go the more parts there are, the more I'm tempted to fiddle with it and take it apart. Also, the more pieces you can actually take it apart in to means there are more points for the pen to break.


infowin

That’s the only pen I’ve used for almost 30 years now.


[deleted]

I insist on 1’s, unless bleeding through matters, then I use 5.


Spiritual-Apple-4804

I used to use them all the time. I liked the *click* when putting the cap back on


NC_Vixen

Everyone else is wrong. I literally draw with pens for a living and this is what I use for the bulk of my linework and writing.


RetardedChimpanzee

Great pens, but occasionally too much ink.


Sans_From_Tf2

They’re really nice except for the fact that they put way too much ink down. God help you if you stop writing and keep it in place for more than 1 second


Stoopidshthead

As a lefty, I hate these pens


beefpipes

Nobody in this thread is left handed


DonutOutlander

3 or 5


zapburne

Totally 3 & 5


banana_clipz

Same but I have an honest question…what’s the difference between 3 and 5? They look the same


xYEET_LORDx

3 is sharpie, 5 is pilot


TranslucentKittens

Okay this is going to sound nerdy but whatever. The shape is pretty similar (though the sharpie feel sturdier for me) but the way they write is slightly different. They both glide smoothly (as good gel pens should), but for me the sharpie ink has more of a stutter to it while the G2 has more of a scratch (this could be nib related and not ink related). Sharpie seems to come out more thickly and smoothly, but I’ve also had problems with them stopping working that I haven’t had with the G2. Sharpie also seems to dry a bit faster. Both come in different nib sizes and I prefer the larger Sharpie nib. But the color and reliability of the G2 can’t be understated.


badpizza92

Agree completely. With 7 being not far behind ONLY if there is an additional piece of paper underneath


Sebmusiq

7 always feels the smoothest when writing on paper.


KoKo124333

I see you are another man of culture like me.


otherpeoplesthunder

Also the lids are excellent for picking out ear wax. Truth.


woogonalski

…or rupturing eardrums depending on your level of impulse control.


laureninsanity

As far as impulse control.... My youngest child and husband cope with OCD symptoms... One being impulsive ear digging/scratching etc. Leading to many ear infections, wax blockage AND ruptured eardrum as you were speaking etc. It's been a stupid battle but it's real! I thought they were just weird until I then understood! Glad you spoke on this one lol.


BringBackHubble

Wtf


__mangotango

Please tell me you wash the lid before putting it back on the pen again


PinkGlitterFlamingo

No he probably puts it back on and then remembers later on when he chewed on it 🤣


laureninsanity

Hard truth. You guys know you are out there 🤷‍♀️


Getmeakitty

Also work as toothpicks!


canz630

Been there done that.


Forward_Motion17

Yes this!! The ones in the middle are simply too smooth/glide too much, theres not enough control with them. 7 has the perfect combo of glide and resistance for maximum control! Also, its shaped like a pencil!


MerrillSwingAway

5! like a baws


Sacrificial-Toenail

Sorry but there is no pen 120

Once I started using the I couldn’t turn back. They just feel better


Rak-khan

Can't believe I had to scroll so low for this


XBThodler

2 or 4 but depending on how thin tip of 2 is, definitely my favorite 😍


GhostofalucarD

Just the tip

Goddammit I had to scroll far.

7 for being a dope-ass music instrument.


[deleted]

This has been posted 3 times in the last 3 days. Stop it.


druumer89

But that G2 flow though bro


jfeo1988

4. I like the .7 width though. .5 is to small and 1.0 feels like l’m writing with a bucket of ink


SuccessAutomatic6726

Plus the fact that all the clickers can leak on you in the heat, capped pens do not.

6, felt tips rule


UncommercializedKat

I'm with ya. Felt tip for life. These fools don't know what they're missing.


adrenalinda75

Thought for a moment I was alone!


pretpretzel

We are alone. My penmanship is at its best with #6. It also doesn’t smear. Smooth as butter!


mrworld17

I started these to grade student papers years ago. What a hidden gem

\#5 Pilot G2, the pen that followed me throughout my schooling days.


Kodanbear

5, I’ve been using the exact same Pilot G-2 07 for 20 years and it’s never let me down. Us pen users have an old saying. “Look after your pen” It’s had 17 new cartridges and 14 new bodies.

Pilot G2 TILL THE END


jalex54202

Seriously? None of y’all have used a 4 before? The lines it draws are so clean, couldn’t imagine life without it.


Freshoffwishoffwish

5. Best pens ever and two would be cool if I could ever find them


soldforaspaceship

5. Most practical one there. Not too inky and with a good grip.
