As someone who writes constantly—notes, journals, work reports—I've tried countless pens, but the PILOT EasyTouch has become my daily driver. The rubber grip is a game-changer; it molds to my fingers like it was custom-made, eliminating hand fatigue during long writing sessions.

The fine point glides effortlessly across paper without smudging (a lefty's nightmare avoided!). I especially love the translucent barrel—no more guessing when I'll run out of ink mid-sentence. While the refills cost nearly as much as new pens, I appreciate the eco-friendly option for my most-used colors.

These aren't fancy pens—just reliable workhorses. They perform beautifully on tricky surfaces like coated paper at my office where other pens smear. The click mechanism feels satisfyingly sturdy... though I do wish the clip were stronger after one snapped in my bag. Pro tip: Buy refills in bulk to offset costs if you're as pen-dependent as I am.
