Schneider Ray Cartridge Rollerball Pen M (Medium), Refillable, Onyx Barrel, Royal Blue Erasable Ink Cartridge, Pack of 1 Pen (187807)

I have to admit to being favourably impressed by this cartridge loaded rollerball. I have used fountain pens on numerous occasions and prefer to use pens in spite of the technology available in this day and age. I am now on my next pack of cartridges and fell as a pen connoisseur that this is one of the better pens available today. It is comfortable, well designed and not too thick or thin and the rollerball allows a smooth flow of ink onto the page. While the cartridges bring back feelings of being at school it enables you to use any standard size cartridge although I haven’t tried it yet with an inkwell and adapter cartridge it should work ok.

The pen is simply packaged and is lightweight. It's attractively designed in a functional way. It sits comfortably as I write and flows well. This is my first ink cartridge rollerball pen, having only used fountain pens previously and I am impressed.It is slightly expensive for what it is. My Lamy fountain pens were not as expensive - but if this lasts as long as they do, then it will be worth it.

What you have here is a rollerball pen that doesn't use rollerball refills. Instead it uses ink carytiges, the style for fountain pens.What this means is that the 'mechanism' (the actual rolling ball) is not rwplaced with each refil. So, if this lack of regular replacement of the 'writing tip' significant? I honestly don't know. Presumably the writing tip will wear out some time, but I haven't owned the pen long enough to find any problem YET.So are there any issues?Well - I actually find the pen a bit uncomfortable and 'clunky' to use. I've many another pen more comfortable in the hand, but it's OK.The actual writing action is smooth.So, overall, recommended.

This pen is marvelous. The ink flows perfectly after some usage, in a steady rate, no leakage. It's a beautiful design, a little more bulky than the pictures suggest. The bulkyness makes a good fit in a large hand like mine.

Feels good in hand and smooth writing

Best roller ball I have had.

I liked the idea of using a refillable pen to reduce waste to landfill, but this pen scratches the paper as you write and ink flow is erratic. Very disappointed, especially as it doesn't come with any ink and I had to buy a bag of cartridges, which I now can't use.

Good good for the money, works well so far and no ink marks on my fingers. Result.
