Review: excellent gel pens - desertcart Basics Retractable Gel Ink Pens - Fine Point, Black, 12-Pack =================================================== I used to primarily use staedtler ballpoint pens, but years ago after falling in love with gel pens I only ever use these ones nowadays. Yes the gel pens don't last anywhere near as long as ball points and ball points are way cheaper, but I really like these desertcart basic ones. I do a fair amount of writing notes and usually buy a box or two of these every 6-8 months or so. Each pen is sealed with a tiny red lump of wax or whatever it is - easy to pull off and can start to use straight away. love the fact that as it gets towards the end you don't have to keep flicking the pen, as you would with ballpoints to get the last few drops of ink. Also general writing is very easy compared to ballpoint, especially if you like writing in small text sizes and I don't get writer's cramps as often with these pens. The thing I don't like about these pens is that the ink doesn't always dry straight away, and if you turn the page over too soon, or put your hand over it, you end up smearing the ink. However, the ink is still good enough to use on both sides of the same page even on 70 and 80 gm paper. The other minor niggle is on some types of paper the ink doesn't flow like it normally does - it behaves like it's running out of ink, and comes out scratchy, but when you switch to normal paper it flows ust fine. Overall great gel pens. Over last few years the pens have sold between 8 and 10 pounds per box of 12.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these pens good?**
A: Yes

**Q: Are these pens good?**
A: Yes. Ink flows like a fountain pen but easier to use. I was very pleased with them personally

**Q: Do they come with the rotating stand?**
A: sorry Andrea i cant remember. i had a look at my browsing history and these pens are laid side by side even though the picture does state with rotating stand?

**Q: is it possible to buy refill for these pens? Or does Amazon (or other seller) has any gel pen that is refillable?**
A: Try the Pentel retractable gel pens.  Excellent quality and you can buy a box of refills (x10).  The pens are more expensive but they are sturdy so buying refills make them more attractively priced.  Amazon do pack of 5 pens but BLACK only.  If you require Blue, you would probably have to go to the PENTEL site or another large office stationery supplier.

*by N***Y on 2 April 2026*

Excellent pens. Great value. Would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good pens but tend to bleed out at the nib
*by K***R on 4 November 2025*

These are my go to pens for taking notes, ink flows well and gives a nice dark line, the only down side is they tend to bleed quite a bit, meaning ink eventually goes everywhere
