Okay, so I've been using these Amazon Basics pens for a while now, and honestly? They're my go-to for daily scribbles. The 1.2mm tip gives just the right amount of boldness without being too thick—perfect for my messy handwriting!

The grip is comfy AF. Like, I can binge-write my novel drafts (or grocery lists) without my hand cramping up. Plus, the retractable clicky thing is satisfying—10/10 for fidgeting during Zoom calls.

Pro tip: They work surprisingly well on crappy office paper AND fancy journals. No smudges when I accidentally drag my hand across fresh ink (lefty problems, amirite?).

Only gripe? I wish the ink lasted longer. But for the price? I'll gladly stash these everywhere—my bag, car, random jacket pockets. They're like the reliable friend who always shows up with a working pen when you need one.
