Ballpoint pens are reliable and long-lasting.
And their oil-based ink lets them write on all kinds of paper, including regular copy
paper, receipts, and even synthetic paper.
In this video, we're sharing our Top 10 Ballpoint Pens.
Be sure to stay to the end to see a unique and stunning luxury pick.
Our top choice is the Uni Jetstream.
Its low-viscosity ink is specially formulated for smooth, effortless flow and fortified
with extra pigment for dark lines.
The Jetstream comes in a wide variety of body styles and colors in four different tip sizes,
from ultra-fine 0.38 millimeters to a bold one millimeter.
The Uni Alpha Gel is a wonder for tired hands.
Its soft, squishy grip provides relief if you grip your pen hard, or have sore spots
on your fingers.
This pen is available in both a wide and slim version for maximum comfort.
You can even get the Alpha Gel grip with Jetstream ink for the best of both worlds.
We like the Pilot Opt for students.
It's great for long study sessions with a relatively thick body and comfortable rubber grip.
Its smooth ink is easy to write with and since the refill holds more ink than typical retractable
pens, you won't need to replace it as often.
The Pilot Opt has a sturdy binder clip to hold it securely in place so you're less likely
to lose it.
It comes in several fun body colors.
The tiny Zebra Techo Mini fits in any pocket.
"Techo" means planner in Japanese, and the Zebra Techo Mini is perfect for clipping to
a planner cover.
It even fits in pocketbook-style wallets.
You might not want to write with it for long periods due to its small size, but it works
well for quick notes and pen emergencies.
The Faber-Castell Essentio is appropriate for any professional environment.
Its clean, modern style and high-quality construction give an impression of seriousness and class.
Its also comfortable to use with dark, smooth-writing ink and a grooved grip section that makes
it easy to hold.
The Pilot Down Force will always write when you need it.
This pen pressurizes its ink refill every time you press the top button, which allows
you to use it at awkward angles and on wet paper.
It's great for using outdoors or at work sites.
Its also comfortable to hold and has a large binder clip with a lanyard hole so you won't
lose it.
The Ohto Needle-Point Slim Line is perfect for people with small handwriting.
Very few ballpoint pens are available in tip sizes smaller than 0.5 millimeters.
The Ohto Needle-Point Slim Line comes in an extra fine 0.3 millimeter tip, which is perfect
for people who need to write in small planner squares.
Since it has a needle tip, it's also great for drawing layouts with a ruler.
The Pilot Petball makes it easy to do your part for the environment.
An astonishing 90.4% of its components are made of recycled materials, and it writes
well too, with a smooth-writing refill.
The Petball's body design mimics the plastic bottles its made from, which is both fun and
practical.
The ridges add a little bit more grip to keep your hand from slipping.
If you want more choices than standard black, blue, and red, the Acroball is for you.
Its low-viscosity ink glides smoothly across the page and delivers saturated color in bright
shades like pink, orange, green, turquoise, and violet.
Whether you want to color-code your notes or just write in your favorite color, the
Acroball has you covered.
The stunning Stilform Kosmos is both a pen and a work of art.
Paired with a beautifully simple form, its unique neodymium magnetic mechanism is an
elegant answer to typical retractable pens.
Simply push the front section toward the barrel to expose the pen tip when you're ready to
write, and pull it back when you're done.
The Stilform Kosmos is precision-machined from solid aerospace aluminum alloy, or titanium.
And that's it!
