EzGrip ResQ Gel Pen

I love this pen! I am a counselor who takes a ton of notes each day. My hands get tired and cramp easily. This eon is perfect. The contour grip is unlike,anything else I have used. It is comfortable, and actually fun to use. I take lots of notes at church as well, so I am glad I doubled my order. This would be great for arthritic hands.

Maybe it's because I don't really know the use the product properly, or I need to invest some time getting used to the product, but I found writing with this pen was not only uncomfortable but it affected my handwriting significantly. I'm sure it will provide more comfort than a normal pen when you use it for a long period of time, but this product was simply not feasible for me.

I have to write a lot and have horrid arthritis. This pen feels okay, weird but okay. Then you write and it is so gritty and the opposite of smooth that it's miserable like nails on a chalkboard. And in a sentence because it doesn't glide across the paper, writing looks perforated here and there. For that much money for one pen, the least it could do is write smoothly. The shape of the outside has nothing to do with the ball of that stupid pen. Total disappointment.

I bought this pen because I write alot at work and have arthritis in my thumbs.This pen works pretty well. I like the grip, there are several ways you can hold it.I like that there really isn't a "wrong' way to hold it. I think the way it prevents painis that you barely have to press to have the pen write. It even goes through the carbonto make copies of the messages I write. The only discouraging thing was that the ink ranout 2-1/2 weeks after I bought it. Must have a miniscule amount of ink in it!

I give it 5 stars for weight, grip, and comfortability; however, I give it 1 star due to the ink being dried up.

I have collected pens for about 50 years now. Not super expensive fancy pens, just pens that you can actually use. I had high hopes for this one, because it is relatively unique in appearance and it has some potential for making gripping it easier.CONS:Worst is that it is cheaply made. The fit and finish are not good at all. For example, the tip tends to flop around in the metal fitting that it extends out through. That makes for a really poor feel when writing. And for the price, they could easily do much better. BIC pens are far better made than this one. Very disappointing.PROS:The grip itself is quite nice, and that one bit is well made. It is comfortable to hold, and there are several ways to grip the pen so if you buy one, you will find yourself finding the grip that works for you. Luckily, that takes only a few minutes.OVERALL:Worth the price? No. If you bought it anyway, it is at least comfortable to hold. You will find writing with it a bit of a challenge because of the refill flopping around in the tip.

truly, I've searched for 12 years, since arthritis deformed my hands, for a pen that doesn't hurt or cramp. I write a lot, and I have a passion for pens, ink and papers. This pen is the most comfortable-I wrote for 6 hours without a break yesterday, unheard of before I bought this pen. (I used to take a break every 20-30 mins). This is a thoughtfully designed instrument, and I'm assuming it was designed by someone who needed it, too.

While this pen was comfortable to hold, the ink smears horribly. This might not be a problem if you don’t write a lot on notebook paper.
