I've been using these Wiaziert ballpoint pens for a few weeks now, and they've quickly become my favorite. The matte brown barrel gives them a sleek, professional look that stands out from typical plastic pens.

What really surprised me is how smoothly they write right out of the box - no scratchiness or skipping. I keep one in my planner for quick notes during meetings, and the medium 1.0mm point creates clean, consistent lines without bleeding through the paper.

The retractable mechanism has a satisfying click that makes them perfect for on-the-go use. I've accidentally dropped mine several times (oops!), but they keep writing like nothing happened. At this price point for 100 pens, they're unbeatable for bulk office use or events.

My only minor gripe? Like some reviewers mentioned, they sometimes need a quick scribble to get started if left unused for a while. But once flowing, the ink lasts surprisingly long. These have replaced my more expensive pens at work!
