The real question: Is that Pilot G7 a 0.10 or a 0.07? Very different pens. 0.7 ftw

  1. The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.

The day I first gripped a #5, had there been clickbait thumbnails back then, mine would have read:
This Changes EVERYTHING!

[–] socsa@piefed.social 32 points 1 day ago (4 children)

5 is the objectively correct answer here.

[–] Coyote_sly@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah, no contest at all.

If 5 is the G2, then 5.

[–] Wetstew@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

2 or 3.

I use to love G2's, but they fell off. I found a sharpie pen a while back and was shocked by how well it wrote, it's now my goto.

Paper mate inkjoy’s have been my go to after g2’s and sharpies had defective ones in the packs I bought.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

3 or 5 was always my goto. That being said, I didn't have to write anything by hand in the last 15 years, and I'm pretty much forgot how it's done

5, man I loved those pens when taking notes in college.

[–] Structure7528@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago

Another for 5

[–] murtaza64@programming.dev 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

not pictured, but uniball eye micro was my goat for high school and college. I had to do british standardized exams in high school which required black pen (not pencil). these guys write super smoothly and create really nice lines, but they take a sec or two to dry so you gotta be careful not to smudge.

I think #1 in the pic is a thicker version of these

anyone voting G2 hasn't used one recently, or hasn't used literally any other pens in that time. I think the G2 is the absolute worst one on the list. At least the bic doesn't pretend to be able to write very well.

if it's a true bic. knockoffs might not work very well.

My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!!! I've been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho... very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don't need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.

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

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day 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.

I would've agreed with you 13 years ago, but something changed with the pilot G2s. They went from S tier to B at best. Ironically, I've replaced them with 2 now. The Pilot Precision's have been my favorite for quite awhile now personally

I have several boxes of Uniball Eco. The ink dries fast enough lefties can write without smearing. Also it looks sleek and professional.

Give me a clicky pen or give me death!

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 1 points 23 hours ago

pilot g-tec 0.4

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Poor ignorant fools not knowing the F-701 and F-402 hack.

Enjoy your writing in poverty and discomfort, you will never know glory because you sought comfort in convenience and thrift instead of greatness at all costs.

No zebra? Guess I’m never writing again.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 23 hours ago

2 but never black. Red or green are best.

[–] eric5949@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

G2 forever.

[–] toxiczombie@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly those of us who've bought 1 or 2 already main those. I'll never by another pen, the writing quality of the Uniball is just superb. The plastic grip isn't uncomfortable like you'd think, and rubber grips tend to feel weird after lots of writing anyways. The build quality is top notch, as someone who's accidentally broken lots of pens. Just a great design
