Very good pens.
However I've been putting Pentel Energel inks in them.
I just find the Energels superior writing experience, however the G2s have a better body.
But the G2s take the energels.
If you want to get fancy, the energels also fit inside a Zebra Sarasa pen for a premium gel-pen writing experience.
I've got a gaggle of fountain pens and ink but it's an experience.
G2s and Pentels are just workhorses that work without any fuss when you need something to write.

I used the G2 pens for ages, but recently switched to these. They work really well and tend to be a lot cheaper, though with this sale prices are comparable.

As a *very small* writer, these are just about the only pens I can use. Most coworkers who try them say they feel scratchy, but when I can fit the Declaration of Independence on a Post-It note, I'll take it. Used these for years. Another pro -- the tip is so fine that it uses very little ink. These things last forever!

Just a heads-up: some users feel the G2 isn't the absolutely best pen out there—sometimes described as skip-prone or scratchy—but it's still regarded as a great gateway pen into higher-end writing tools. Overall, for everyday writing, note-taking, or work-at-home tasks, this deal looks like a smart buy.
