Pilot Precise V5

Another pretty generic capped pen with a "needle point". This writes pretty well, and the ink doesn't smear. This is a rollerball instead of a gel pen, and it writes well. I left it uncapped for a couple of hours, and it started up without any skipping. The ink delivery is smooth, with a consistent line width and no skips.

This has a hard plastic grip, so writing with this for a long period of time would probably be uncomfortable. Other than that, it's not a bad pen. I'd certainly pick this over the Staples and the Sarasa pens, primarily because of the smearing issues.
