Pilot Gel X Yes I know this is a really weird item to review, however the purpose of this site is to review anything under the sun in order to let readers know about the best stuff around. That's why I've decided to review a pen. For most people, this post will be pretty useless since most of us don't really bother what pen we use. However, being a student, using an appropriate pen is crucial, as I'm sure is true for many other students. Though it does indeed seem weird for me to review such an item, I believe that the Pilot Gel X is probably the best pen I've ever used and will ever use.

Believe it or not, Pilot Pen was set up around 90 years ago back in 1918, albeit under a different name. Since then, it has become the third largest manufacturer of pens in the USA and the largest one in Japan. While the Pilot Gel X is far from the most popular pen which Pilot has created (the G2 being much more popular among my friends and I) I think it's probably the best pen they've made. I've only been using it for a few days or so, yet I've grown accustomed to using it whenever I get the chance to. The reason being that it's such a comfortable pen to use.

Essentially, the Pilot Gel X is a G2 refill packed in a new casing. The pen is relatively heavy, which is a really good thing as it makes writing a lot more comfortable. Not to mention the grip is pretty big, which is a huge plus since you don't have to scrunch up your hand to hold the pen. This makes for extremely easy writing. Have I mentioned this pen LOOKS really good as well? Most people won't give two hoots about how their pen looks like as long as they can write with it, but for those who do this pen will definitely fit the bill for being a very fashionable pen. It comes in a variety of colours, with the upper portion of the pen sporting a rather attractive translucent plastic which allows you to somewhat see the ink level of your refill. The grip itself is extremely firm, ensuring that your fingers won't slip while you're writing.

Unfortunately, for some reason I can't find the pen listed under the products of Pilot's USA website, however it is listed under the Singapore site. It's quite rare to fine this pen at local bookstores here even. Thus I'm unsure whether it is sold in the United States. However, one is still able to purchase the pen online through sites such as this.

While most people nowadays rely on a keyboard rather than a pen, there's no doubt that they'll never go away. Thus, like it or not, we'll all need to use a pen in our daily lives now and then. I'd highly recommend this pen to anyone, especially students like myself as it will really help in your daily work.
