- smoothness - 8/10: rather smooth

- smudging - 7/10: ink dries rather fast, doesn’t smudge as much as sarasa imo

- comfort - 8/10: v lightweight & comfortable to hold cuz the rubber grip extends all the way to the end which i esp like cuz i hold my pen quite close to the tip 🤘

✅ recc for exams, did econs case study with it & it was pretty speedz 👍 so shld be okay for writing essays with

- defo a contender for my new top 3!

- not too ex (sorz not v sure of the actl price but shld be abt $1+ to arn $2)

- was a gift from hist tr so i’ll use it during my hist papers for more power 💪🤓

🖊️ sarasa R

- smoothness - 9/10: real smooth actl, smoother than sarasa clip

- smudging - 5/10: it’s inkier & colour is more saturated than the sarasa clip but also means that it smudges more + does bleed through paper more easily so watch out if ur paper is thinner

- comfort - 7/10 same feel as sarasa clip

✅ recc for essays, also tried it out doing econs & i rly liked the smoothness

- got this as a gift from the econs dept so cute bro i’m defo gna use this for my econs paper for extra luck 🍀

🖊️ muji smooth gel ink ballpoint pen knock type

- smoothness - 8/10 actl quite smooth

- smudging - 4/10: the smudging is real bruh i feel like the ink doesn’t rly dry that fast or maybe just major skill issue on my part 😕 but ya my hand was super dirty aft using this HAHA 💩

- comfort - 4/10: also no rubber grip, kinda hurts to hold for long but still better than the one w the cap cuz i think its slightly thicker

❌ don’t rly recc for exams cuz of the smudging n lack of comfy grip

🏅 overall top picks:

🖊️ sarasa clip/R

🖊️ uniball signo rt1
