The metal ball of the nib is encased in an acetal plastic, rather than the standard metal surround, which allows for a smoother flow of ink around the ball, and an increased flow as further pressure is applied.

The ink differs slightly with these pens and is supposed to be water resistant which I haven't tested yet but it is definitely different to that of the ub200/205 and seems to not be absorbed into paper and bleed quite as easily. I use these pins for writing and sketching ...
Ok. I bought these as they are supposed to give different line thickness dependant upon the amount of pressure that is put upon the nib. Personally I have not found this to be the case and there is only really 1 thickness. I used to use uniball's ub200 & 205 rollerball gel pens that are far more fluid and easier to achieve different line thicknesses than these but these have become unbelievably expensive hence I decided to try these. The ink differs slightly with these pens and is supposed to be water resistant which I haven't tested yet but it is definitely different to that of the ub200/205 and seems to not be absorbed into paper and bleed quite as easily. I use these pins for writing and sketching out ideas. Overall I'm not so impressed and think I will be going back to the ub200-205s mainly due to their increased flow/fluidity and less resistance or friction on paper which makes a more pleasant sensation and quicker writing.

Great pens
I love these pens - I like to write small so these are excellent. I just wish my daughter would stop taking them , it’s costing me a small fortune providing pens for her whole class !!

Very smooth, but thicker than 0.5mm
These write smoother than any other pen I have and are consistent. The pen is very ergonomic and the tapered nib is comfortable to hold. Ink is nice and dark.Unfortunately these are more like 0.7-0.9mm thick and I can hardly get the line to vary in thickness. Having said this I don’t mind the thicker lines. The ink doesn’t really dry very fast and behaves like fountain pen ink so be sure to use bleed/feather proof paper with these. Pukka pads won’t make the cut.

Great if you keep losing your fountain pen!
Love these pens. I'm a fountain pen lover, but I can't buy nice pens as I inevitably end up losing them somewhere or another. These are just the job, lovely writing feel to them, and it's not the end of the world if I misplace one of them. Everyone I have lent one of these too asks me where they can get them!

Not exactly as described.
Great product, however, unfortunately the description is inaccurate. Only 12 pens were supplied (the extra 2 free were not included).

Not as fine a line as hoped, but pleasant to write with.
Quite pleasing to write with... but thought the 'micro' would give a finer line than it does... I will go back to the Pilot G2 0.7 which produces a finer line than this 0.5.

Good quality pens
I like these pens, the nibs are a bit thick for me but I so like the way the line thickness varies dependant on the pressure you use.
