At first I fell in love with these pens, I am a weird pen person so I was pretty excited. After a some time the pen began writing all wrong! The middle of whatever line I would write, would write lighter in the middle of the line (IDK how else to explain this, sorry). I purchased a 2-pack and the other pen began doing the same shortly after I began to use it. I even gave the Inkjoy pens that came out after a try (pack of 6 or so) and they were bad also. However, Papermate is not all bad...but I now stick to their classic 1.0 M pen that is like $1.50 a pack. They should place that ink stick in the Inkjoy pens or something!!!!

i recieved ok my pen, but after a month or less of use, the pen started to work erratically and then refuse to work and only make dots and some lines. The same problem was occured in two other pen's that friends also purchase.

We search this in internet and is a common problem. Don't buy this experimental and expensive pen!!!!

is a waste of money.

I was very impressed with the original pen that came with my Samsung Galaxy Note II. I loved using the pen and found it a great productivity tool as well as fun to use. When I lost my pen, I went online and ordered two of these at $14.70 each.  I assumed they were original Samsung replacements and would work as well as the original. I was wrong!!  Both of these pens had glitches. They were  problematic  and frustrating to use, so much so that I stopped using the pen. I went to the Verizon and Verizon Premier stores and consulted with their technical people. All found the pens faulty. I could not do the very simple task that I became comfortable using. I then ordered two S Pen Stylus at $29.99 from Verizon, which I just received, and they work beautifully-as advertised.  I am back enjoying my Note II again, and I am in the process of returning the S Pens back to Amazon for a refund. Bottom line, as far as I'm concerned, never buy anything from the lowest bidder.

Extremely disappointed with this Jinhao X750 fountain pen.  The pen wrote for the first week or so, but then started having hard-start issues, and I was never able to get the ink to flow properly anymore after a little while.  The only way to get any ink into the feed is shrink the converter chamber to move the ink forward.

The pen chassis itself is hefty, and the cap fits fine, but the nib/feed make it so it isn't really work-able as a pen.

The converter that comes with it is a standard one, nothing special.

I would not recommend getting one of these.  Spend a bit more and get something more reliable.

Writing with this pen is absolutely horrible. At first I was very excited with it, watching reviews and its features, but when I started to use, the precision definetly wasn't right. When you put the pen on the screen, depending if you are left or right handed, the drawing starts 0,2-0,3mm from the pen's point, to the left/right depending on the setup. And this happens if you have your iPad positioned in portrait mode. Things start to get odd if you try in landscape, because the point's lack of precision draws in a 0,2-0,3mm error from up/down. A total failure of project.

My writing isn't the same as in a paper, and the adds told me it would be. I can say the things get even worse if I try to write on the iPad with my hand as a support, because as screen moves by the natural movement, the unprecision gets crazy and it gets impossible to do it.

I can't say anything about the material, its stylish and simple, but it doesnt work as it should.

Please make a better stylus, this product definetly doesnt worth its price. I paid too high for a bad piece of technology.

When I first wrote with it all I got was a giant blob of ink.  Document ruined, had to reprint.  I thought maybe this was due to it being new, but next time I went to use the pen it did it again.  And then again.  I threw it away.  What's worse, it was for my Spire pen, which has limited cartridge choices, otherwise I'd return the Spire too.

I ordered a black ink version.  Same thing again.  Which means both the blue and the black ink cartridges have the issues.  I threw it away.

I went to Staples and bought a two pack of blue.  Same thing happened with one of the cartridges!  The other cartridge didn't last long enough to write the 6 letters of my first name.  I threw them both away too.  Four failures for four cartridges, now I'm figuring out how to put a ball point in my Spire, otherwise it'll be relegated to a drawer, never to be used again.

And just to be clear, each cartridge had the little plastic protector at the point.  This was not a storage issue.

I got the Spire as a Christmas gift last year.  The original cartridge had none of these issues, and lasted almost a year.  Cross has gone way downhill with the slim line gel cartridges.  Cross makes great pens and (normally) great cartridges.  I hope this was an exception or they're in big trouble.

Update:  I hope the people at Cross are listening.  I figured out that if I leave the cap off my pen at night then the ink doesn't ooze out.  Apparently the temperature changes that happen at night (daytime temp 70, night time temp 55) coupled with the air tight seal of the cap create a vacuum that pulls ink out of the cartridge.

If I could have, I would've given this product ZERO stars.  Never did I think this price was for ONE pen.  IT'S GOING BACK

Absolute junk.

I was thrilled to receive this pen today.  It was supposed to be a gift for a friend.  I opened the package to look at it, tried to uncap or twist open the pen, and it simply fell apart in my hands.  The bottom part of the barrel will not stay screwed on.  When I try to unscrew the cap only, the top of the barrel stays screwed to the cap.  The only way I could see that the pen had a Selectip refill in it was to take the whole thing apart.  Kind of difficult to write that way.

It breaks my heart to see the Cross brand in decline.  Twenty years ago it was the case that one fine point black ballpoint refill would last me a year.  Now I can't tell how long the refills might have lasted because the pens fall apart before the ink runs out.

Back to Amazon this goes.  I am quite frustrated at having to waste my time returning a shoddy product.

Clearly defective. The first pen I used ran out of ink in 3 days. No exaggeration. The second pen ran out of ink in 2 days. No exaggeration. Expensive, useless pens. And even for those few hours before they ran dry, they didn't produce even writing. The center of a line, where the pen point touched the paper, was noticeable paler than the ink to either side of the center. And the ink smeared easily. Terrible.

Frustrating!

The pen skipped or refused to write from day one. After about 3 1/2 weeks, it stopped completely.

The design is decent, but the execution is pathetic. Especially at this price point. I'm going to try another reviewer's suggestion and put G2 guts in it. Hopefully, that'll fix it.

This thing only worked once and now I cannot return it. I used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and don't take photos that often. Now my computer will not recognize the device.

Update: this 1 star review is for the product. Once the review was written a customer service rep contacted me. I tested the card that I had used in the device and it was completely damaged. It could not be read by the new reader I had purchased and could not be read or reformatted by my camera. This was a $40 professional compact flash card. I had to go back and forth with the customer service rep and tell her what had happened twice before a refund was issued. She then requested that I place another card in the card reader to test it. I was not about to do this and risk damaging my other cards. I did test a different card in my camera and in a different card reader and it worked perfectly. So I will not be using or purchasing another device of any sort from UNITEK. I was asked to update my review and felt that I should share that regardless of the fact that a refund was issued, I still lost a card full of photos from a special event and had the card damaged. So this experience was not positive for me at all.

As many "minus" stars as possible.  $30 for 1 pen? Really?

I wanted so much to like this pen, but it writes terribly. Ink transfer from the pen to paper looks like those ultra cheap transparent BIC pens that you pay a half cent for in bulk. Not only that, the pen is supposed to open to change out the ink cartridge. Mine doesn't open. Four people tried and then I tried the old standby of using pliers. It still won't open. Sorry, there's no way I can recommend this pen to anyone.

My wife purchased this pen for me for our 10th anniversary.  I was thrilled with it, using it every day both at work and at home.  Imagine my disappointment when, after 6 months, the cap threads stopped working properly.  I was okay with it at first, thinking that all would be well sine it was under warranty.  I was wrong.  MontBlanc claimed that I had somehow damaged it through normal wear and charged me for the repair.  Of course, I had no choice but pay $115 or sacrifice a $700 pen.  It is a shame that such an expensive writing instrument is built so shabbily as to break after 6 months of use.  I would choose a pen built by a company that truly stands behind their work.
