Smooth as butter, does not smear, and comfortable to write with. I like that they don't bleed through my notebook paper or smear exactly as advertised.

Superior writing performance and experience compared to cheap pens. Good enough to satisfy a pen enthusiast without being expensive. I also have an extra fine nib fountain pen.

Very disappointing quality control. These are unsatisfactory. If it can't manage its essential task, then all this 'no-smear technology' talk is irrelevant.

The ink lacks vibrancy, smudges easily, and the pens have durability issues. The package is completely sealed but missing one pen.

Left handed pen can lead to messy and illegible writing. Lack of cushioning leads to discomfort during extended writing sessions. Consistency of ink flow makes handwriting look sloppy and messy.
