Alpha-Gel Jetstream 0.7 mm Ball Point Pen, Silver Body, Black Ink (SXN1000071P26)

I have big hands and struggle to find pens with a wide enough grip to be comfortable for lots of writing. This pen is fantastic and one of the most comfortable I've ever used. The grip is quite... squidgy... and at first I thought maybe too soft. Then I took this pen to a conference where I wrote many, many pages of notes and had no aches in my fingers or wrist at the end of the day, which I'd usually get after doing a lot of fast handwriting. I'd taken a couple of other pens along as backups so I could change around if my hand started getting sore part way through the day, but didn't touch them as the Alpha-Gel Grip was so comfortable. The body of the pen and the clip is metal and feels sturdy, I've no worries about bashing it around in my bags or pockets. The ink is the usual Jetstream quality - smooth, good flow, doesn't smear if you move your hand across it (I'm right handed, so if you're a left handed writer you might want to check out exactly how quickly Jetstream ink dries before buying, but as far as I can tell this would be fine for left handers.) It takes their SXR-7 refills so it's cheap to put new ink in when it runs out. I found the tip wore in slightly in the first couple of pages of use, so if you don't like it immediately, give it a try for a little while and I found it improved and then stabilised at a nice, even, quite thin line that never skipped a beat. I've tried the Jetstream SXN-150-07 which takes the same refill, and they're good, but their grip section is hard rubber and not as wide as the grip on this. I've found the Alpha-Gel Grip so much better I'll probably be taking the refills from the SXN-150-07s and using them in the AG Grip instead. Highly recommended if you have big hands and usually get cramp or pain when you write a lot.

This really is a great pen for left handers like me. It's comfortable to hold and after a few lines of writing you realise that there's no fear of smudging. Fantastic product!

Ergonomically this pen is amazing. I have never owned a pen so comfortable to use. I'd recommend this to any right handed person. However, I'm a lefty so I'm stuck with a common issue in that the nib and ink flow can be a bit of a pain. Either going too quick and scraping along or going too slow and leaving enough ink to paint my hand and the page under it. if I could get a refill from a uni-ball SXN-210 to fit in it it would be the perfect pen for me. I'd still recommend it to everyone I know. Edit (22/11/19): I switched in a uni-ball sxn-210 refill and it works so much better for left handed writing. The grip is extremely comfortable to use for long stints.

Excellent grippability & nice balance so great ergonomics for prolonged periods òf writing such as essays or exams. Uses same refill as other Jetstream RT rollerballs : prefer 1mm point for even smoother writing ( Alpha gel comes with 0.7mm) Much better quality than other cheap throwaway rollerballs.

Super smooth and writes on paper like butter, this pen writes fantastically! The super soft grip really helps with hand fatigue/ for me personally who has problems with hands. The only problem is that the silicone grip collects ALL kind of bits of hair, fluff and bits so I recommend putting it in a non fluffy fabric pencil case like plastic.

Lovely pen. But the ink stopped working in 3 days. Contacted the seller, I was offered anything.

I cannot part from this pen. Absolutely the best pen that I use as an daily driver. The grip is phenomenal, although I might add that it might be too big or chunky for some people. The pen seems shorter than other typical pens as wells so, people with big hands might not be so comfortable with it but the grip should compensate for this. The Jetstream Ink provides the smoothest strokes at light pressure. No ink blobs through paper like other rollerball inks. Overall, an excellent pen that I use daily.

This pen is perfect to hold and the soft grip allows you to relax your own hold a little more - this alleviates the pressure on my thumb joints (I suffer from hypermobility). I’ve just ordered some refills and I hope the writing nibs are just as good as the one that originally came with as the ink flow was superb.

Fungerar fint. Ligger bra i handen.

Ich habe mir den Uni Alpha-Gel Jetstream (0,7 mm) für meine täglichen Notizen zugelegt. Für alle, die viel mit der Hand schreiben müssen oder beim Schreiben schnell verkrampfen, ist dieser Stift ein absolutes Highlight. Hier sind meine Erfahrungen nach einem intensiven Schreibtest (40 Seiten in meinem Notizheft): 🛑 1. DIE GENIALE ERGONOMIE (DAS ALPHA-GEL): Aufgrund einer vergangenen Sehnenscheidenentzündung ermüdet meine Hand bei normalen „Werbegeschenke-Kugelschreibern" sehr schnell und fängt an zu schmerzen. Das Alpha-Gel-Polster dieses Stifts ist hier extrem entlastend. Das Gel ist wunderbar weich, sodass der Mittelfinger beim Halten angenehm einsinkt. Man muss den Stift nicht mehr fest umklammern, wodurch das Handgelenk geschont und das Verkrampfen der Finger effektiv verhindert wird. Zudem liegt der Stift mit seinen 21 Gramm sehr wertig und ausbalanciert in der Hand. ✒️ 2. DAS SCHREIBGEFÜHL UND DER TINTENFLUSS: Die Jetstream-Tinte wird oft als "Hybrid" (zwischen Kugelschreiber und Gel) beschrieben. Die 0,7-mm-Mine gleitet unglaublich leicht über das Papier. Man könnte theoretisch ganz ohne Druck schreiben, wobei das Schriftbild dann etwas abgehackt wirkt. Ich übe beim Schreiben nur noch minimalen Druck aus, damit die Buchstaben eine schöne Kontur bekommen. Im Vergleich zu Standard-Kugelschreibern ist der Kraftaufwand verschwindend gering. 💧 3. TROCKNUNGSZEIT UND VERSCHMIEREN: Bei einem so satten Tintenfluss ist das oft ein Problem, aber hier wurde ich absolut positiv überrascht. Wenn man normal oder schnell schreibt, trocknet die Tinte sofort und verschmiert überhaupt nicht (auf meinen 40 Seiten gab es kein Schmieren). Nur wenn man den Stift sehr langsam über das Papier führt (wodurch viel Tinte austritt) und sofort gezielt fest mit dem Finger darüberwischt, lässt sich ein leichtes Verschmieren provozieren. Im normalen Schreiballtag ist er jedoch wischfest. ♻️ 4. NACHHALTIGKEIT & MINENWECHSEL: Da das Gehäuse sehr hochwertig ist, ist der Stift keine Wegwerfware. Die Mine lässt sich ganz einfach austauschen, indem man das Gehäuse in der Mitte aufschraubt. Die passenden Ersatzminen (Uni Jetstream SXR-7) kann man problemlos nachkaufen. So hat man sehr lange etwas von diesem Stift. 🎯 FAZIT: Ein fantastischer, hochwertiger Kugelschreiber, mit dem man spürbar länger und entspannter schreiben kann als mit jedem Standard-Modell. Für alle Vielschreiber und besonders für Menschen mit empfindlichen Händen, Handgelenksproblemen oder der Neigung zum Verkrampfen ist dieser Stift jeden Cent wert. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

This pen was literally the most mid thing ever , it works fine noting special about it just like every other black ball point pen THE PRICE IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS pls don’t buy it - I can’t even return it sadly . The squishy feature isn’t that useful and mid too JUST MID PRODUCTS DONT BUY

O.7 demesine rağmen 0.5 gibi ince bir yazıma sahip tutacak yerinin jel olmasının yazımda bir rahatlığını göremedim tutacağın yazarken kayması rahatsız edici bir durum

Comfortable, lightweight, ink isnt as pigmented as I've had with other pens but quality of ink is satisfactory especially in light of how it excels in all other areas. I write pages of notes while studying and this pen saves my hand.
