Which do you prefer: rollerball, ballpoint, or gel pens? Let us know in the comments!
Gel pens!!! Love me a smooth pen.
Gel! It’s like butter!
Of the ball pens, it's a rollerball for me. The Uni-ball Air is one of the smoothest pens I've ever used. Just wish it came in more colours.
Basically, I prefer the #Jetstream series of ballpoint 🖊️ pens. But the other types of pens are also preferable like gel , roller ball .etc
Uniball 215 /217 refillable.
Rollerball pens are great if you’re a fast writer, especially cursive. Much less tiring. But for small writing in my planner I prefer a fine gel pen.
Same here
I second this
Rollerballs are good though I've found hybrid ink pens to be a little better for cursive writing, especially as a lefty. I use the Schmidt Easyflow 9000 refills in a Parker pen body.
I learned something: I wasn't aware that there was a rollerball pen with waterproof ink. I prefer to use a fountain pen when possible but when it comes to filling out carbonless forms I find that a ballpoint is best.
The Ferriswheel Press Roundabout rollerball actual fits a universal converter so you can fill it with different inks like a fountain pen! A true game changer
The J Herbin fits standard cartridges and the shirt monteverde converter too!
Omg thanks for this!
My Uniball Vision Elite was a gift from when I was a child and after 10+ years of non-use, IT STILL WORKS
Wow, you must not write much! I go through one every 15 days or less!
Love me some rollerball pens. Being using Uniball Vision for years. Folks at my old job knew to return my pens if I left them somewhere.
When it comes to rollerballs, the Pilot Precise V5 is my JAM
Precise V5 was my go-to in my Grade 12 classes, and only pen found in my case that year, yeah it is one of my top 3.
I love this channel. So much. This vid really helped me calm down and just enjoy some good rollerball info hahah
these videos are so calming and informative, thank you for putting in time and $$$ into them!
It's so good to see and hear you on videos again, Antonia! I usually write with fountain pens or gel pens, but I love the Vision Elite.
Yes I love videos narrated by Antonia!!!!
I have a uniball vision elite,Pretty smooth pen.
All throughout high school, I used nothing but roller ball pens. (In elementary school, school-issued fountain pens were mandatory.) They made for comfortable writing, and were also VERY good for drawing comics about our teachers with. Nice and precise.
I love the off-black pens, especially the green! Well, and especially the brown!! Oh, and especially the deep blue!
...and this is why one needs an entire pen CASE to leave the house! 😉
The last batch of black infused ink pens I ordered are more black that the actual colors …. The previous ones I had you could see the color…. Frustrating
But yes! I have way too many pens i love plus a fountain pen - so yes definitely bring a pen case!
I could never figure out the differences between the three types of pens even though I have read your article that explains the differences.
This video finally made it clear to me how these types of pens differ from each other.
And yes - more Antonia videos, please. She is the best narrator on RUclips.
Very informative ……love this video! More to add to my wish list!
Great video! Learned something new! Will have to give rollerballs a try!
YES! I have been hooked on rollerball pens since freshman/sophomore year of high school. I've been using the Pilot Precise V5 as my main rollerball. I have a combo handwriting of print and cursive. I enjoy how light it is and you can see where you're writing better. And it's true, you really don't need any pressure at all which is why I don't get much bleed thru and can just write for 3 hours and not get hand cramps
I like both Rollerball and Gel pens.
The best explanation about these pens. Now I know clearly how these pens work.
This was a great video, helped me to decide on my new journal pen.
ah, i bought one of the v5s in highschool, and since i prefer pencil, it still has ink to this day! though its finally getting low. others are recommending it for fast writers, and i have to agree. i always have to write fast enough so my adhd doesnt trip up my thoughts 😅 had no idea it was good for that at the time i bought it
i have a custom multipen now to save space, id much prefer a good line of rollerball colors to the gels i have, as they do smudge on occasion more than my roller pen did
My newest favorite rollerball is the Monteverde Engage. A rollerball that can use bottled ink is sooo very cool!!!
How do you like yours? I’ve read a lot about bleeding. I have the J Herbin rollerball though and use that one for fountain pen ink! 🤩
@@lefthandedclogger I haven't had any issues so far. I use either Midori or Tomoe River paper and it works well with those.
this was probably my favorite video you all have done
I used the Pilot Precise V5 all through high school, and I didn't know it was rollerball. I just loved how it wrote :D
Rollerballs are my favorite! Especially bold ones. I need to check out the Otto Fudeball you mentioned (snd on all those colors ❤)
So happy to see the uniball precise V5 in this, I love mine and they come in all sorts of colors. 🥰
The Uni-ball Precise V5 - now that's a unicorn among pens if there ever was one.
I love Rollerballs! I was using a Pilot Precise V5 until I realized they weren’t waterproof, so I have switched to the UniBall Vision Elite in the off-black colors since they’re waterproof and archival.
I also like gel pens, but rollerball pens are the ones I continually go back to!
Most of my school years were spent before computers took over our lives and I really wish I knew about rollerballs when I was writing 4-page essays by hand. Currently, I use a Pilot Precise for everyday note taking and I keep a handful of Uniball Airs with my art supplies. I like the waterproofness of the air and how you get some line variation with pressure or tilt. I'm dominantly a fountain pen user for drawing, but I still keep Uniball Airs as backup- especially when traveling!
I love the V5! I use it since the 90’s!
I haven't regularly used pens in a few decades, since before gel pens became popular, but I remember loving the solid smooth lines of the Pilot Precise and some kind of Uni-Ball whose name I don't remember. Just now starting to get into pens again and looking forward to trying a variety of both rollerball and gel.
The wide tip for addressing envelopes sounds great!
It does and this is coming from someone who'll cringe at the thought of using anything above a .05mm, but I can see them working nicely for that purpose.
I picked some of those up last year specifically for addressing Christmas cards!
I have a LAMY Safari rollerball pen. It was the very last Mango one available in Last Chance when I bought it and I use it to sign documents
I enjoy using Vision Elite, Pilot Precise V5, Jetstream Air & Element pens, Signo DX, Uni 207 -- It depends on the surface I am writing on!! Nothing like a pen that just flows across your paper! I would like to try the Stabilo Rollerball - the shape reminds me of some Staedtler pens from 10 years ago & the Ohto Fude fude pens!! Sounds like I need a larger pen case!! 😂😂
Really nice explanations =)
I am a huge fan of Uniball's stuff and the vision pens are no exception. I do find they bleed a lot more than the Signo so I tend to gravitate towards gel especially at work, but for my personal use I love the Vision. I only with they have a slightly finer tip size and more colors!
Have you tried John Shen (Chinese) 0.5 mm pens ?
@@aomoussynonymous8712 No I have not. A major selling point for me for Uniball is the waterproof fraud proof ink. I’ve tested it and seen it tested which is another reason I tend to stick with them
late response but since a year or two they make vision in ultra micro 0.38
Really , this is the best stationery channel !
Been using pilot v5 for decades already especially during my highschool days up to college and also which i have been using at work. Its less strain compared to ballpoint pens but much expensive.
those Ohto Fudes look so chonky and fun to use 💕
I prefer Ballpoint/Rollerball pen and here in Brazil these two are really comfortable to write or draw.
Really glad to see Antonia participating.
😄👏👏👏😁
I used to draw with the regular Uni-Ball Vision all the time. Didn't care for the Vision Elite. The regular had a "drier" flow so you could get more line variation. Lately, I really like the Sharpie Roller pen and the V5 for drawing.
Thank you for making the video i didn't know how roller ball pens are differ 😄
Thanks... helpful.
Great video. I was used to break the uniball rollerball pen because I pressed it too hard when I was younger. It said rollerball on the pen but I couldn’t read since English was very secondary back then.
I love the Uniball Vision Elite!!!!!!
The Uni-ball pens are my absolute favorites and I've been using them for years! They're so good I will legit get upset if I lose one!
I love the V5 and V7 pen because on some of them they can be refilled with fountain pen inks.
Although I have ballpoints and gel pens, I also like the way rollerball inks flow and write smoothly. Right now, I have a retractable Pilot VBall pen. Initially I thought it was a gel pen, but it's actually a rollerball pen with a gel base.😁
Good video. Thanks
I love myself the liquid ink pens (particularly pilot v5s), though they tend to flow more than my gel pens, so the latter can be better for writing things like Chinese if you want the "silk wisp" connections between strokes
I highly recommend the Zebra Sarasa Clip 1.0mm, my all time favorite !!
Very interesting !
Hey, JetPens! I have always seen many Pilot Hi-Tecpoint rollerball pens in many stationery stores here in the Philippines and I have also used one before. Right now, though, I must say that the Pilot VBall retractable rollerball pen (0.5 mm, black ink) is the best. But the Pilot Multi-Ball and the Uni-ball Air are also excellent rollerball pens for writers. More power to your team, JetPens!☺️😄🇵🇭🖋️🖊️
I like to carry a ballpoint like a Parker Jotter with a Jetstream refill in it for everyday note jotting, signing something and whatever. At my work bench or home desk I keep several different rollerballs, some gel pens and a couple ballpoints for different uses. If I need to write out a long note to someone for instructions or I'm writing out a CNC mill program or doing a lot of math I'll need to remember for work or writing down ideas or anything that will entail a longer writing session I'll grab a vision elite. One of the smoothest, lightest pressure pens I've ever used. They're also very fun to doodle with. I also use them for any notes or anything I'll need to keep long term for the water resistance and archival quality. I might need to look back on something I wrote down for a customers job I did 5 plus years ago and I've had notes all but fade away to nothing sitting in a drawer when I used a non archival pen. I'd prefer a fountain pen but I've not had very good luck with them being a lefty unfortunately.
Your videos reay helped me tp choose the best pens for me. Thank you so much! Now my classmates are envy about my G2 pilot pen AHAHA
I really like the Uniball Eye series they all are so nice and they have to be the best rollerball pens in my opinion
My dad has been using the Uni Ball and the V5 for what feels like decades
I once took apart a uniball rollerball pen and found a brush bib underneath!
Vision elite has been my fave pen for like a decade. Used to buy them in bulk fr costco and havent found a rollerball i liked more
UNIBALL!!!!! I was OBSESSED with those pens as a kid... my family hasnt bought them in a long time, so I haven't been able to steal them from my parents in years XD
I will definitely be buying these in bulk in the future
I learned something, I learnt that I already own a rollerball pen in the Pilot Precise V5 and other pens that are also extra fine rollerball pens. I just didn’t know they were any different. As a lefty I can’t really use those pens because they don’t dry fast enough for me to not smudge the entire page. I think I’ll stick to regular ballpoint pens…
My favorite is the pilot V5 fine tip. I usually buy these here in America. And I love the way they write.
America is a huge content, uSA, Canada. Mexico. South America ? you can just order them online no matter where you live
I used to think rollerball pens and ballpoint pens mean the same thing.
Same
Some rollerball pens share the same problem I don't like about fiber tip pens: The line quality degrades quickly as one starts to dry out their ink supply. This happens with pens that fill the pen's body with fiber and store their ink by soaking the fiber. The lines they make start way too wet, generally, and get too dry to look good long before the ink supply is exhausted. I had one of the fancy Tombow pens you recommend and it was susceptible to this.
The Pilot Vision pens I have had used a reservoir of liquid ink passing through a series of fins rather like the ink supply fins of a fountain pen. Those wrote well until the ink was completely gone. The only irritation I had with them was that SOME of them had an irregularity to the ball, or something, that made them produce a little tic-tic-tic as the ball rolled across the paper. This shouldn't be an irritation unless you're obsessive compulsive, but I use fountain pens a lot, so you may draw your own conclusions about my particular forms of insanity.
My favorite roller ball pen and one that I have found difficult to locate is the Schneider Ray. I most sincerely wish that (a) Jet Pens carried them and (b) Schneider made them in some fancier metal body form. Not only do they write particularly smoothly for the type, but the Ray is truly refillable! You don't need to replace the entire ballpoint mechanism as you do with most other so-called refillable roller/ballpoint/gel pens. Rather, the Ray uses a European short international standard fountain pen cartridge. It will even hold two, one in use and a spare, just as many of the fountain pens that use International cartridges do. How cool is that?
My dad has used the pilot V5s forever! ☺️
Pilot V7 RT is my favorite
We need more videos from you guys
aye I'm not really into rollerballs because they're so inky and tended to bleed through many papers. As a kid I wanted to one day use the pens my dad always used (Pilot V5s) because you know, some kids like to pretend they're adults and pros lmao But now nope I'm sticking to gel pens.
I use a rollerball pen for everything. Uniball Vision Elites are so amazing. Been using them for about 20 years now. The Pilot Precise V5s are amazing too. I actually hate the Uniball Deluxe rollerballs. Vision Needle pens were a mistake once thinking they were Elite or normal Vision pens. Sadly at some point I've had some rollerballs that just flowed poorly or didn't roll out of the pack. You'll have that with any pen but the spacing and size for thinner ink of a rollerball means it's probably stuck for good.
So I prefer fountain pens but I used to use the pilot precice v5 It dries fast enought because it's so fine that I never had trouble with it smearing when using my left hand and even with cheap paper I don't think I had any problem with bleeding.
You should try using reynolds dynagrip great rollerball pen i use it alot
I recently got a piston fountain pen with both the fountain pen nib and a rollerball nib! Everyone including me called it a ballpoint nib but now I know!
Precise V5! I love that pen, it's my go to pen. I have so many of them. I usually use the purple ink. The only drawback is that these pens run out of ink so quickly.
Pilot V5 is my staple 🤍
Amazing
It would be great to see a review on mathematical geometry instruments🙂...
Muito bom, excelente explicação e demonstração. Paranéns ! < Brazil >
As somebody who's most familiar and comfortable with fountain pens, how does the ink compare in particular regarding bleed-through on cheap paper? Is it comparable to a fountain pen, or worse? Cause I can live with _a bit of_ bleed-through (like, say, a fountain pen on 80gm¯² printer paper) and would like to try a rollerball if I can avoid the fatigue I usually get with ballpoint pens.
I enjoyed the video but still confused which pen to prefer?
Uni ball vision elite is my favorite, only pen I can use anymore
Antoniaaa! Love you!
I have a Parker Rollerball pen. I do like it, but since I mostly write on normal paper, then I have a lot of ink mess all around the paper.
I always use roller ball for smooth & fast & stylish handwriting.... I feel good to use this types of pen's water based liquid ink...My Opinion is to every brand of Pen...Try make various types of RollerBall pen....

Jetpens please make a video on best exam tips
I started using Uniball Vision Elite and Pilot Precise V5 & V7 back in 1999. I remember wanting a rollerball when they became a big deal in the mid-‘70s, but alas I’d be stuck using my bright green Clic Bic during middle school. 😂💚 #penaholic
If you have bad handwriting, try fiber tip. They have more friction and you have time to control your direction.
Stephanie, my favourite presenter ❤
this is antonia 😬 lol
I also used Pilot Precise during my school life... Unfortunately it bleeds through my paper and I didn't have much money to buy higher quality paper/book. So in the end I stick to ballpoint pen.
I am forever obsessed with my uni-ball vision elite, but my problem is that I cannot highlight it on higher quality papers like Leuchtterm or paper republic (which is what I use). Sigh ... and I just can't deal with the sarasa mark on, skips like crazy for the speed I write.
I've had bad experiences all around with the PILOT Precise V5. Rough feel, flexible tip, frequent ink dry-outs, and ink flying out when flipping (which I do often). Consider something else if you want fine tip.
Never issue used them for decades; they are cheap so get another one maybe that one you dropped or did something to the tip
Can you put India Ink in a refillable rollerball pen? Or technical pen drawing ink?
If I need a ball pen it's going to be a rollerball. Retro51 is fantastic. Most of the time I use fountain pens for ergonomic reasons. They're the only pen type that doesn't need to be persuaded.
I prefer a nice gel pen, like the G2. Live he feel of te writing after a long duration and the bold colors are a plus. Not that a rollerballs isn't good it's just not great.
Can you make one about the cons?
i want to use my rollerball pens because i do often have a death grip, but i'm a student and carrying them around always causes them to leak all over my hand
What brand is the pen at 2:03 ?
As a Leftie i would like everyone to know that think we smudge the paper.... we just ...turn it..i almost write descending in a vertical line.
I do like your videos.
