Pilot, FriXion Point Erasable & Refillable Gel Ink Pens, Extra Fine Point 0.5 mm, Pack of 3, Black

These pens are perfect for writing in my rocketbook. The thinner tip allows me to write smaller and it dries faster so less accidental smudging. My go to pen, I have ordered many times

Way back in the 90's, I used erasable pens constantly for note taking and writing in college/grad school. They were a beast back then (the ink sort of blobbed onto the paper as opposed to flowing, it smudged all over, and the erasing was moderate at best). Even though I'm not in school anymore, I still like to write long-hand, but somehow the *presence* of an eraser makes it easier for me just *write* and not be indecisive about everything I put down on paper.I heard about these FriXion pens on a web site and I *had* to try them. Flowing LIQUID gel-ink and a true eraser without all the crumbly/smudgy stuff? I needed to try and see if it were true.It is indeed true. These are true liquid ink pens (not ballpoint) that flows from the barrel smoothly. And it erases SUPER cleanly. The ink is heat-sensitive so it it removed via heat, and not the actual material of the eraser. So the eraser on the pen is more like a tool for making heat (hence the friction) and nothing that is rubbed onto the paper.The penbs are great, except for a few things:- the ink is really a dark grey color. It's NOT completely opaque, it's almost translucent grey. If you like that super-inky-black color, this is not a good pen for you.- every time you use the pen, you have to put a good deal of pressure on it for the ink to flow. So the first few marks you make will be either super light/scratchy or not show up at all.- You really do need to write with a little bit of pressure to get the ink to keep flowing. So it's not as easy as writing with a regular gel pen.- the eraser is on the area of the pen you'd cover with the cap when the pen is open, which makes no sense to me.- the super fine point is a little scratchy and my handwriting looks a little bit "shaky" writing with it. It's not as smooth as some other super fine points I have used, but a general quality of a fine point pen is a tiny bit of scratchiness so it's par for the course, I guess.finally, and this can be a pro or con-the ink in these pens are completely heat sensitive. I just hit it with my heat gun for a quick second (used for crating) and the ink disappeared instantly. Pretty cool to watch (it's like in a spy movie!) but if you are doing a project where you need to apply heat in any shape to your materials, the marks from this pen will disappear. I'm excited about the way I can use this in my art projects.All in all, these are super cool pens, and the best erasable pens I have ever used. I wish they sold a bottle of this ink so I could use it in more applications.

I play sudoku daily and (often) make mistakes, so appreciate the ability to erase on most surfaces. Although, some types of paper do not come as clean as others. They also come in handy when writing on greeting cards, as I can erase any wording that doesn't sound right. I just have to remind myself NOT to use them when writing checks.

These serve their intended purpose as you might imagine, for things like: crosswords, word searches, post it notes, school notes, drawing, drafting, etc. I use them in many different capacities as well, but there are some things I don't like about this particular model. Unless you rest the end cap on the table/desk while writing, you must remove the end cap to do any erasing, which can get repetitive and inconvenient compared to the clicker model. The ink is readable, but is very light. Smooth at 0.5mm, but difficult to see unless under bright light. While you can erase the ink, be careful not to press down too hard on the paper/notebook because you can erase the ink, but not indented writing. The ink can smear easily as it reacts to friction/heat just by rubbing against something, so I don't recommend left hand writers use this. Additionally, I thought it would be a good idea to use these in a duty capacity (military/first responder/medical), but I was wrong because the ink is difficult to write and read in low light conditions, the ink can smear easily especially when exposed to some elements, and duty related paperwork and forms are legal documents where you don't want to use erasable ink anyway. Otherwise, these are awesome.

These are some of my favorite pens. I love how easy it is to erase with them. The 0.5 mm made it very easy to take note with my small hand writing. Any mistakes I made, it didn't leave a trace when I erased. These worked great for my college note taking.

I got these pens for work and these are all I use anymore. I'm the office manager for an HVAC company and my planner has been a mess since the start. Technically I really don't NEED a planner because we use software to schedule and dispatch jobs but I'm old school and I don't feel comfortable relying only on that. The appointments are constantly changing because sometimes we have cancellations then we bump another client into that slot or they have to reschedule. My planner looked a mess from whiting out then writing over the white out, which, always looks awful. I figured I'd give these a shot because it doesn't hurt to try. These are amazing! I've used erasable pens in the past and they look just as messy as the white out. It ends up looking like a grey smudge. These erase clean and they write well for use in the office. I see a few people have mentioned that the pens do not work in heat but I have no reason to need them in warm environments.

These are not the erasable pens you'd remember from the 90s. They actually erase! How? Frixion (ha-ha, friction, get it? I'll be here all day!). They write fine and super smooth, and erase so easily and clean. Even if the ink is still wet. No eraser dust, no smudging, no residue or ink left behind.My ONLY complaint is the position of the eraser. We all put the cap on the back end of the pen, but that's where the eraser is. So if you need to erase then you need to take the cap off, erase, put it back on. I wish the eraser was on the cap but it's not a huge deal.I highly recommend!

The Pens offer an impressive fine line, but I did encounter an issue with the first one running out of ink after just a couple of uses. They work seamlessly with Rocketbook notebooks, adding an extra layer of convenience. However, for those who prefer a bolder stroke, I recommend exploring options with a thicker line. Overall, a great choice with a minor caveat.
