Okay, so I finally caved and bought these Sikao pens after seeing them everywhere. And wow, they did NOT disappoint!

First off – the grip? *Chef’s kiss.* That textured rubber makes marathon note-taking sessions (or doodling during Zoom calls) way comfier than those cheap plastic sticks most bulk pens come with.

The ink is DARK. Like, ‘no ghosting on my planner pages’ dark. And smooth? It glides like butter. No weird skips or blobs mid-sentence – which, as someone who rage-quits bad pens, is a major win.

Bonus points: the click mechanism actually works (unlike some pens that sound like they’re crunching gravel). Plus, that wax-sealed refill thing? Genius. Left one in my car for weeks and it still wrote perfectly.

Are they fancy? Nah. But at this price, I don’t care when coworkers ‘borrow’ them permanently. 10/10 would bulk-buy again – already planning to gift these to my entire study group!
