This is a great pen. Unlike the childhood 4 barrel white and blue plastic pen, this is a little slimmer, and allows you to select the colors that you want to use. I purchased the Hi-Tec C Coleto Gel Ink Pen Cartridge 0.5 mm 15-set for ~$20. This gives me 15 different colors to choose from and I can switch them out whenever I want. As I'm an avid believer of taking notes and having this pen lets me have multiple colors without having to carry multiple pens. Every color that I've tried out so far is great. I love the slim feel of the body, as well as the smooth writing. I've tested with both Moleskin and Leuchtturm1917 and they work quite well.

This 4-unit multi-pen body was purchased as a replacement for a defective 5-unit body. This model is slimmer, but importantly is stronger in design. The 5-unit model had a thin and brittle transparent plastic mid-section that shattered. This 4-unit model is made of the normal opaque and heavy duty plastic that I expect will prove more durable. I no longer need the fifth unit as I’m retired and grade no more papers. As a musician, having both a pencil and eraser unit in the pen is critical, the ink pen is for signatures. As an older person, I wish the pencil unit took 0.9 mm leads for visibility and legibility, but softer 0.5 mm leads are my workaround. The sleek all-black 4-unit body is better looking than the 5-unit mixed-plastics model too! I could move to a 3-unit body if that allowed a 0.9 mm pencil unit to be produced! My only complaint about both pen bodies is that the selected unit sometimes retracts unexpectedly while writing. That may be more an issue with the refill design rather than the body.

The media could not be loaded. Very smooth .038 tip pen. Writes well and erases completely. While it writes like a pen, the Ink flow is similar to a Jelly-roll pen.There is one fundamental design flaw. While other Frixion single-color pens are capped to prevent the ink from drying out, these multi-color pens are not. Hence, the ink dries out < 1 year. A mechanism to seal the barrel is imperative if Pilot wants this pen to compete with BIC and other multi-color pens. As annoying as this is, I enjoy this pen enough to spend a few $ on refills when they go dry.

I have the dumbest annoyance with this pen. I love everything about it except for one tiny thing, but for me it's a deal breaker. When you have one of the inks down and you're writing with it, the tip of the pen is ever so slightly skewed to one side, because the pen inks have to bend in order for there to be multiple colors within the pen body. I assume if you're someone who likes this type of multicolor pen, this is something you're probably familiar with and maybe do not mind. But for me, it really ruined the experience of writing with the pen.That being said, everything else about the pen is great! The grip is nice, smooth textured and easy to hold. I would prefer a slightly skinnier grip, but considering that there are 4 different inks inside the pen the size of it is based on that and it's a lot skinnier than other pens I've seen with multiple inks. The mechanism to swap the inks out is really great, seems sturdy and unlikely to break and feels good. No fiddly messing around with unscrewing something or anything like that, just snap open the top and push your inks in and you're good to go. Switching between colors feels good, though sometimes if you don't push a new color down just right it doesn't stick on the first try. All in all I would absolutely love this pen, if only the tip would be centered when you go to write with it.

My husband took a recent trip to Japan and brought back some pens back. I soon realized that they were in fact just the pen bodies without the ink, so I went on Amazon to look up for refills. I was so in love with this style of pen that I started looking for more bodies to put my extra Pilot Hi-Tech C Coleto refills in.I LOVE the color of this pen. Very pretty pink, comfortable to hold and have had no issues so far. My only complain is the price. It is my opinion that is a little bit overpriced but other than that, Im happy with this pen body, the color, confort.DOES NOT COME WITH THE INK

I write very finely. I used to use a 0.25 gel pen. I loved it, but arthritis in my hands made it hard to hold with a narrow barrel. This pen, although not quite as fine or smooth, is a good pen to write finely that is much easier to hold. The erasing feature is a nice feature as well.
