czxwyst X97 Retractable Gel Ink Pens 0.5mm Fine Point (Black Color 12-Pack)

I recently ordered this pen and have been genuinely impressed with its performance. The ink flows smoothly without any skipping, and the fine tip offers great precision—perfect for both everyday writing and journaling. The design is sleek and comfortable to hold, even during longer writing sessions. I also appreciate that it doesn’t smudge, which is a huge plus for left-handed users like myself. Overall, this pen offers great quality for the price, and I’ll definitely be ordering more in the future.

Very smooth gel pens that do NOT skip. Even after accidentally dropping on floor, which is something I’ve had an issue with, with a major gel pen brand. I drop the other ones and they never write again. But these pens are amazing! Always write and so so smooth. Customers and co workers are always trying to steal these pens because they love how they write too.These pens feel great in the hand and are well balanced without being too heavy.I will reorder again.

Pens are very nice, and they write incredibly smoothly. The are not smear resistant, so give it a minute before touching the paper if you plan on drawing with these like I am. The lines are sharp so I love it very much. Extremely easy to use. None of the pen ink is leaking, I checked them all.

Overall these are good pens for the money. The clear body and Japanese writing is unique and fun. They are comfortable to hold, the grip’s not soft and squishy, but more firm.As for the writing, they remind me of Pilot G2’s. I got 0.5mm and they’re fine. Not particularly scratchy but not mind blowingly smooth. They do skip on occasion, especially depending on how much pressure or what angle you’re writing at.One of the pens so far has started leaking out of the back end of the refill into the pen itself, so that was annoying. I guess the cartridge was not sealed properly.

Best pen ever, so smooth, dries fast..

Great quality, dried faster than your favorite brand pen, and smooth to write with.

I don't normally get super wound up about a pen enough to write a review. I was looking for something similar to a Hi Tec C just to change it up and bought a bunch of different Japanese gel pens. Zebra, Sakura, Pilot, Uni-Balls, even a chisel tip gel insert for for a Caran d'Ache 849 I had lying around. They're all good pens but I really enjoy writing with this Aihao. I can't even remember the name of it usually. It's very comfortable, quite nice looking, and the lines and the form of my writing with the pen is very nice. It has a similar feel to the Hi Tec C where it is a smooth, thin line without feeling scratchy. I don't like going below 0.5mm because I don't like the scratchy feel. It doesn't leave smudges in my notebooks either. This pen is pretty perfect. I use it a lot with Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks. Other than a Hi Tec C, I think I like it the most.

I recently bought the czxwyst X97 Retractable Gel Ink Pens (0.5mm, Black, 12-Pack), and while they write smoothly, there are some noticeable downsides. The ink flow is inconsistent, and it can stop during use, leading to skipping. The ink also takes a while to dry, so it can smear if you’re a lefty, which is frustrating.The pen itself has a cheap feel and is lightweight, which makes it feel less durable. Overall, you definitely get what you pay for — the pens are affordable, but they come with some quality issues. They work for everyday writing, but if you’re looking for something more reliable and sturdy, you might want to consider other options.
