RotringRapid Pro Retractable Ballpoint Technical Drawing Pen, Medium Point, Blue Ink, Silver Full-Metal Body

I was fortunate enough to have acquired one of these pens prior to buying this one and instantly loved that one enough to buy another. They have a comfortable weight and mimic the feel of a pencil with a textured grip. They are refillable and if you have an ink preference, I am sure you can easily find an ink that will suit your needs. They are all metal and as such have an unmatched durability and unlike bulkier pens they are comfortable to use and won’t cause fatigue. Overall they are a well-balanced pen that should last you for a very long time. Some may read this and say “a pen is a pen” and I can understand that but if you are an artist or writer I feel like you will be satisfied with this purchase.

This pen is a solid make, has good weight and very good body control. I absolutely love it, having used Rotring since 1976.It came with a really great cartridge with amazing ink flow for a ballpoint pen (Easy flow 9000), but the replacement cartridges I have bought on Amazon all seem to be duds or brand imitation garbage, meaning I can't use the pen anymore as much as I love it.Recommendations for a reputable dealers with PROPER CARTRIDGES would be appreciated.

I liked these so much I added them as a subscription item, so I’ll get a new pair every six months. I do tend to lose pens.

I've tried (and have) them all: Mont Blanc, Cross, Shaeffer, and others. This pen and its rollerball counterpart are my go-to writing instruments. I use them daily. I like the feel and weight of the pen, the grip, and the durability. Highly recommended.

This pen has an amazing feel to it. We require metal pen bodies at work. The Rotring ink is alright, but the pen became my favorite when I swapped the refill for a Uni Jetstream .38 SXR-600-38 refill. The one drawback is the red line. That's a plastic fitting. Carrying it in my pocket, it started to come just a tiny bit loose. I tightened it and found I had to keep tightening it. While the metal body looks durable, you need to take care of it - keep it at the desk or in a place that doesn't bend, like the top of a clipboard.

I like pens with weight and great clicking mechanisms. Well balanced, surprisingly nonmetallic clicking noise, and takes good refills, though I bought some off-brand for finer tip size, which required just some shaving near the tip to click smoothly.

I have the rapid pro black version and then opted fot the silver. I first tried the 600 pen as it was a few dollars cheaper, but it was smaller, lighter and seemed flimsy. The rapid pro silver had more weight and seemed better made. The barrel also allowed for a more comfortable grip, as the angles are less defined than the 600. Do note that some parts of the rapid pro pen have shiney, chrome finish. The 600 does not have any parts with a chrome finish.

As a millennial, I think I'm inclined towards stationary and writing utensils. When I was little, I loved going back-to-school shopping and getting pencils, pens, crayons, markers, Trapper-Keepers (later, Five Star binders), and notebooks. Since then, I've always loved getting new pens.I was in the market for a durable pen and had remembered reading an article on either ArsTechnica or The Atlantic a few years ago about rOtring. Upon reading the reviews here, I settled on the rOtring Rapid Pro ballpoint pen.The first thing that struck me was its heft. It's definitely heavier than other pens I've used but it feels sturdy in hand. The matte black finish on the aluminum and the knurled grip make it feel secure while I'm writing.This pen is a dream to write with. It flows smoothly over paper and makes my note taking a lot easier. Additionally, the ink doesn't smudge or smear, which is a problem I'd been having with my previous pen, a Pilot Dr. Grip.Overall, while expensive compared to other ballpoint pens, this is worth the cost if you take copious handwritten notes and want a pen that feels great in hand.

I do a fair bit of writing at work and after my last good pen died and was no longer being made I needed a replacement. After some internet searches I came across the Rotring Rapid Pro and I decided to give it a try. I will admit it isn't an inexpensive pen by any means but I will say it is very much worth the price. I'm a machinist by trade and honestly I find the fit and finish of this pen to be excellent. The knurling on the grid really stood out to me, it's crisp and fine and provides excellent grip, the pen also isn't very bulky being about the size of a pencil maybe a bit thicker. The click action is very smooth and it also uses a parker style g2 standard ink refill so finding refills isn't an issue which is a bonus. I also just love the look of it and would certainly recommend this pen to anyone looking for a quality, minimalist writing tool

pen arrived in great condition with blue ink cartridge. I love the feel and look of this pen. Writes smooth with a firm weight.

さすがロットリング、適度な重さがいいのか、あまり力を入れずに楽に書けるインクの粘度もいい感じでキレイに字がかけて良いもっとインクが真っ黒だったらもっといいんだけど、そんな贅沢が言いたくなるくらい良い
