Review: Best Pen Hands Down - I used a fountain pen previously: I have to fill out a lot of depositions and these must be hand-written. My writing bites, so the fountain pen helped a lot. But, all of the fountain pens leak. I carry a pen with me and def could not do so with the fountain pen. I saw the reviews on Schneider pens so bought a few. I'M HOOKED!! They write very well, are super comfortable to hold, and fit nicely in the pocket and look good. They DO NOT leak. The blue part in the pic is solid and a little grippy, but not soft enough to come apart, really a perfect grip. Now, they are a bit different. The ball is wider than most, and I never liked this in the past. BUT, the control the pen lends when writing is incredible, so now I love this ball point size. My writing is better with this pen than even with the fountain pens I used in the past that were always the easiest for me. Also, the pens are very solidly made and replacement ink cartridges would, for sure, be worth the expense, and I feel with most cheaply-made pens this would not be worth the cost. These pens rock. Review: OBSESSED with this pen - I haven’t written an desertcart review in ages but am compelled to write one about this pen. I write a lot, primarily notes; I work in the legal profession and am a student. I used to favor the Pilot V Ball Grip for its size and weight (my handwriting is worse with skinner/lighter pens) and slight cushioning, but would sometimes get annoyed by the cap, leaking, and smudging. I tried the Schneider Slider Rage XB when I was testing different pens at McNally Jackson and found it to be the perfect pen for me. Perfect weight and girth, the ink doesn’t smudge, and I don’t have to worry about a cap (or in my experience to date, leaking). They’re pricey for appearing to be a “disposable” pen but they’re actually refillable, so I don’t feel guilty for buying them. ## Features - Viscoglide Technology for a smooth and gliding writing experience - Extra Broad (XB) line width in Black ink. Quick-drying, smudge-proof ink, even when later highlighted. Waterproof according to ink standard ISO 12757-2 - Ergonomic shape, rubberized barrel promotes relaxed writing without hand fatigue - Wear-resistant stainless steel tip and sturdy metal clip. Cap fits neatly on either end of pen - Retractable ballpoint pen refillable with Slider Refill 755. Produced CO2 Neutral. Made in Germany. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BI5GZGO | | Additional Features | Eco Friendly, Quick Drying, Refillable, Retractable, Soft Grip | | Age Range Description | Kid, Teen, Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,069 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #412 in Ballpoint Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Schneider | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (8,108) | | Drill Point | Extra Broad | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088021564367, 00300717206215, 00696721097025, 00800011435842, 00801593392752, 00804993655755, 00806792194060, 00809302176020, 00823019806629, 04004675080035, 30194919080022 | | Grip Type | Rubber | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | Hard | | Included Components | 5 Black Ballpoint Pens | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 1.7 Centimeters | | Item Dimensions | 5.75 x 2.75 x 0.75 inches | | Item Type Name | Ballpoint Pen | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Line Size | 1.4mm | | Manufacturer | Schneider | | Material Type | Plastic/Stainless | | Model Name | Slider Rave XB | | Model Number | 132501 | | Pattern | Solid | | Recommended Uses For Product | For Office, For School, Writing | | Style | Refillable | | UPC | 800011435842 806792194060 804993655755 809302176020 300717206215 801593392752 696721097025 088021564367 823019806629 | | Unit Count | 5 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Writing Instrument Form | Ballpoint Pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid, Teen, Adult - **Brand:** Schneider - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Ballpoint Pen ## Images ![Slider Rave XB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rry-BY8JL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this 0.7mm, 1.0mm, or 1.4mm?** A: It is a 1.4mm, extra bold write out.

I write a lot, primarily notes; I work in the legal profession and am a student. I used to favor the Pilot V Ball Grip for its size and weight (my handwriting is worse with skinner/lighter pens) and slight cushioning, but would sometimes get annoyed by the cap, leaking, and smudging.

They’re pricey for appearing to be a “disposable” pen but they’re actually refillable, so I don’t feel guilty for buying them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greatest pen ever *by J***N on June 29, 2022* I’m a semi retired physician who never switched to electronic medical records meaning I write copious notes in patients charts for over 30 years. Back in the day when big Pharma was allowed to try to bribe doctors with free pens I never had to buy pens but I also have written with hundreds of different pens, some cheap, some very high quality. When the rules changed such that the pharmaceutical companies could attempt bribery anymore I had to purchase pens but that meant I tried even more different pens, some cheaper, some expensive. I realized I became a pen snob. When I needed to buy some more pens Office Max had one Schneider pen available. At the price I defied the store policy of don’t open the package because if I can’t try it I won’t buy it. I was blown away. It was almost an out of body experience. You have to be a pen snob to understand this. From that moment forward I have written only with the Slider Rave XB in black. I have purchased probably a dozen packs of 5 over the years and I have them everywhere at the office, at home, I’m my purse and my office staff used them too. Some reviews say they run out of ink too fast. If you bought through Amazon you may have gotten a knock off. Amazon is well known for allowing this practice. I’ve been using only these pens for over a decade and only have purchased a dozen pens but was writing all day every day and I have only used 2 refills of the package I bought. You have to consider the life of the item with the cost because cheaper pens run dry way quicker. Some people say they leave blots and o think those are knock offs. How can the same pen provide such different experiences? Mostly all 5 star reviews then a one star because it’s too expensive or it ran dry. I think my decades of writing with hundreds of different pens then 5x12=60 pens that an entire office staff used and I wrote with exclusively and I write copious notes. 60 pens used 5-6 days a week at the office and 7 days a week at home over 10 years abd I’ve only had to refill 2 pens? This is the best pen. It’s my dream pen and all the 5 star reviews are accurate. If you think a Bic pen is equal in quality perhaps you don’t have an appreciation of tactile experiences. If they’ve run dry quickly you’ve gotten a knock off. I buy only from the Schneider store itself. Not from Amazon. And, I support this company because it is so environmentally forward and have philosophies that most companies don’t have. They walk the walk. Employing special needs people to package the pens is proof. The technology is typical top notch German technology. I will always support this company and will never write with any other pen to the end of my life. That’s how great they are. ## Frequently Bought Together - Schneider Slider Rave XB (Extra Broad) Ballpoint Pen, Refillable + Retractable, 1.4 mm, Light Blue Barrel, Black Ink, Box of 5 Pens (132501) - Schneider Slider Memo XB (Extra Broad) Ballpoint Pen, 1.4 mm, Light Blue Barrel, Black Ink, Box of 10 Pens (150201) - Schneider Slider 755 XB (Extra Broad) Ballpoint Pen Refill, 1.4 mm, ISO Format G2, Blue Ink, Box of 10 Refills (175503) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/27734438-slider-rave-xb](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/27734438-slider-rave-xb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
