Incredibly fine-tipped pen, smooth writing, watch out for smears
Bottom line: Very fine tipped pen, writes well and consistently, need to watch out for smearing (e.g. this is a very touch pen for left handers to use if their hands rub the section of the paper they just wrote on!). I haven't tested this in space, but if you're anywhere on earth (on land, not underwater), you will enjoy the fine art of penmanship with this writing instrument!
Feel
This pen has a solid plastic casing. It is not overly large or heavy (in fact, it is very light). It is a stiff plastic casing, and you don't have all the bells and whistles with fancy grips. You do not miss nor need them for this pen!
Pros
Overall, I love this pen. It is my go-to pen.
* Pen tip is very fine; as a result, the pen is very accurate when writing
* It writes incredibly well and is very smooth
* I have not yet had an ink blot or a dry spot while writing
* The ink is dark and consistent in color, look, width, etc.
* No leakage during storage, no matter which direction I store the pen (upside down, right side up, sideways, etc.)
* Consistently writes, no matter which direction the pen has been stored in
* I haven't stored this in extreme temperature conditions for a long period of time (e.g. in the car), but for the short times I've had it in my car or outside, I have no reason to doubt this pen wouldn't perform.
Cons
There aren't very many cons to this pen, I would say it's the best pen I own and my favorite one to write with.
* You have to give the ink a little time to dry - it's not much time, but if you don't, it will smear
* It's more than your cheap, bulk pens, but with this pen, you get MORE than what you pay for!
* Your friends and coworkers will always try to steal your pen, it is a magnificent writing instrument
I have a comparison of different pens, a single stroke (the top, straight line) and a back-and-forth scribble. The pens from left to right:
* Muji Gel Ink Ball Point Pen (far left)
* Pilot G-2 07
* Sharpie Fine Point
* Sharpie Ultra Fine Point
* High end hotel pen
* Free city pen
* Westin hotel pen
* Disneyland pen (far right)
