Great Pen. Looks and writes wonderfully
I love my Rocketbook. It has made taking notes so much easier. I used to carry around a big yellow pad with loads of paper. The Rocketbook has eliminated that. It is light and slim. The pen that came with the Rocketbook was not great. The cap cracked quickly and would not stay on.I found this pen and ordered it. It is wonderful. It works great. It opens and closes easily. It came with a nice case and a replacement ink cartridge (nice touch). That sits on my desk. This pen now goes with me everywhere. For $4.99 I bought the pen holder that affixes to my Rocketbook.The only downside is that the pen is a bit pricey for what you get -- $26.94. It's worth it to me to have a nice, reliable pen. There are less expensive Frixion options that may work just as well for you.

It is a little pricey, but it's a nice pen!
Compared to a Pilot G2 Limited ($10 - $15) or a Pilot Metopolitan ($15), this is a bit pricey. But make no mistake, it's a nice pen. I'm a pen collector and I have very expensive, to very inexpensive, pens - and I like this pen a lot! It has a nice weight, looks professional, and I have had no problems with the grip. It does eat ink, but that is more a function of the eraseability of the ink, than the pen case. Buy refills - easy fix.The bad reviews are overblown. This is a nice metal pen. It neither looks nor feels cheap. Pens are personal. People are different. But in my world, it's a nice professional solution for a business person, wanting an eraseable ink pen for a business setting. I highly recommend this for use with the Rocketbook system, which I recently recieved as a gift. Buy with confidence.

Very comfortable to hold
It cost to much for what it is and I hate that I love it so much. Yes, you can get a dozen of the cheaper ones but it’s a nice slick design and the eraser cap is great but keep track of it. You can use the same refills as the cheaper ones. I use it specifically for work because sometimes mistakes happen when filling out forms. The heat from the friction erases the ink and if you put the paper in a freezer for a few minutes the ink comes back lol.

Writing right!
Are you tired of spending money for cheap gel pens that write well but crack at the point where you hold them? I was.If you are an avid writer of notes you’re going to love the fact that this pen is well made. Also, you won’t need to throw your pen out every time the pen runs out of ink or the case cracks from writing pressure.The are only two minor issues. The first is the eraser. Yes, it’s erasable ink (these pens are not meant for signing contracts). To access the eraser you must unscrew the cap. I’ve started leaving the cap off because it’s an annoyance to unscrew it every time. Second, gel cartridges do not last like regular pen cartridges. It’s the price we pay for smooth writing. Am I right?Other than that, this pens smooth writing, sturdy build,and good looks make this a desktop essential!

The Weight is Marvelous
The color is more towards a lime green, but could certainly pass for a green chartreuse. The weight of it is lovely and it stays cool in my hand. That may seem an odd observation, but when you're having hot flashes every little bit of cooling counts!The ink cartridge works much better than the usual click or stick pens. When using them on paper most of the original cartridges work fine, but as can be seen in the image I use smart products. Pictured is smart sticky notes, but I also use the Frixion pens on smart notebooks. The glossy surface is usually too slick for the original cartridges and I have no idea why. It seems the refills have better flowing ink so if your pen isn't writing as well as you'd like, try a different cartridge.Someone else mentioned the threaded eraser cap and I agree, it is a pain to remove and replace; however, it completes the look of the pen and helps to ensure the cap won't get lost.I do wish it were a twist instead of click pen. Fortunately this pen's clip is secure, unlike the less expensive plastic pens. That means it doesn't rattle around like the Frixion Click pens.I will disclose that I bought it for 30% off because I couldn't justify the full-price cost. I had it on my list for a year before finally indulging and I do feel the sale price was a good value for the money.

I like it.
I have a Mont Blanc that I use and have used for over 25 years. I find myself not using as much as I use this with my Rocketbook, but I don’t put it down for regular paper at times. It writes really well.

Writes Well, Feels Good
I recently became a fan of RocketBooks. I wanted to buy a nice pen to keep with my primary gaming book. This pen is a good choice.It did take a few hours of writing to get the gel to start flowing smoothly, so if it doesn't write nice at first, keep trying.The weight of the pen is just right, and the clicker is reliable for someone like me who has the annoying habit of clicking pens.The eraser works well, but sometimes smudges the ink as it erases, which isn't a huge deal, since it's being erased anyway.

So sleek and writes so smooth
This pen is my bread and butter at work. It writes so cleanly and erases so well too - perfect for when I make mistakes. And because it's erasable, my doctors can't swipe it to use for charting! 10/10 would buy again.

Want to love it unconditionally….but expensive in the long run!
I had the benefit of receiving my first one (the Gold LX) as a gift and I purchased the silver coloured one and the red one respectively for variety. I am a bit regretful as I didn’t realize how quickly the pen eats through refills. I can safely say I write about 40-50 pages of 8.5x11 and it’s a new refill. Now the refills can be pricey depending on the day and I fully rely on Amazon to supply them so hopefully I’ll be able to have refills for years to come.The pen itself is sturdy as it a metal body however one needs to have special care when using the eraser because one can loose the plastic screw off cap quite easily. I’m not sure if Pilot has the screw caps available for replacement should one get lost. That is a minor complaint I suppose as I wonder why that particular part is made of plastic when it can be easily be made out of the same material of the overall pen.Pilot always makes a pen that is solid and will last however I’m a bit disappointed with minor details that can be easily remedied. The pen I would recommend as it’s a great addition to any pen collection as it allows anyone to erase their errors and continue on with having horrible scratch marks everywhere.In the end, the pen is solid and I like it, sadly not love it.

Excellent
I am really impressed with how effortless it writes, very smooth. I love the color and away from the norm good weight to the pen and is now one of my new favorites.
