Pilot g2 if I had to choose but I'll stick with my rotring 600 with schmidt easyflow 9000 if it were up to me

None. Pens fucking suck. There are limited use cases for pens, which is basically none unless I am signing a contract.

For every single other use case I’d rather have a mechanical pencil.

Pencils are for those who lack conviction!

3, it's the best one I recognise

1 is my choice pen. Always and forever. No other type kept up with me. I use a slightly different variant though.

[–] MasterFlamingo@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

1 and 2 look good but looks are deceiving. 5 and 7 all the way.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I like 1 because it's thin and not a roller type. You only have to imagine writing and you're doing it. Rollers can be ok, and 5 is a decent example, but 1 used with a ruler for precise drawing, nothing beats that.

Pilot G2 and BIC are both classics, but I'm a sucker for a liquid ink pen

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I have already chosen. And the one that I have chosen for life is not in this set.

5

I would pick 3 but I don't think its ball point and I have trouble controlling the strength when I press down on the paper.

I'd pick 7 if it's a Bic, but it's definitely n.3 because of the ergonomics

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

1 & 2 top picks, then 6 & 7. The rubber sleeves are nice for short notes and whatnot. They get slippery from sweating eventually. Maybe just a me thing.

I dont see any on here I would swear by.

I have taken a liking to the Pilot B2Ps, they are made of recycled water bottles, I liked them simply for the fact that they're the one type of pen we have in abundance at the office that no one else bothers to steal for some reason.

I like the Staples TRU RED series too.

what the hell is wrong with me, a year ago I'd be obsessing over some video game or hobby and now im discussing my pen model preferences, I think I've crossed the proto-boomer threshold

If I HAVE to use a ballpoint, it's going to have to be a rollerball. Like the Uniball. But really, I'd take just about any fountain pen over any of them.

I write a lot (I am professor) and pilot g-2 (#5) is the way to go. Don't be fooled by sharpie's grip, I just finished a box of that model in red ink and g-2 is way better.

#5 carried me through three degrees.

[–] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Pentel ENERgel pens.

But if I had to choose, 2 or 5. I have 3 at work and while it is nice, I don't know if it has the same kind of staying power 2 or 5 do.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.

So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.

7 can burn in hell

[–] Snazz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Show me the fucking feather

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I use 3 at work now after someone gave me one. It’s an awesome pen.

Does a mechanical pencil count?

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jetstream 0.5. Probably 5 is the closest. I still have a box of 2 floating around.

2 or 5.

5 because it's convenient and a Swiss army knife of pens.

2 because sometimes you just gotta shank a bitch.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 5 points 1 week ago
