Slider Basic XB Ballpoint Pen, Black (Pack of 10)

When I am working on line or on the phone, I often need to write information down quickly as I work, but often the cheap biros refuse to work without having to scribble with the pen first to get the ink flowing, and half of them end up in the bin hardly used but no longer working, so I checked on Amazon to see what was available for a reasonable price. I ordered a set of these Schneider slider pens, as they seemed to be what I was looking for, but they were a lot cheaper than the roller ball type pens. On arrival they were in a re-useable wallet of four different coloured pens, green, blue, black & red, I tried each one and they all wrote smoothly the first time without any scribbling to get them started. With their slider technology, writing with them is very smooth, not as smooth as the more expensive roller ball types but much better and more reliable than the average Biro, they are well made of a strong clear plastic (probably acrylic) with a rubberised section which makes holding them and using them easier, and it is the same colour as the ink making each colour easily identifiable, they are not clickable, but have a removable cap which clicks firmly into place, and can be placed on the top of the pen when it is in use. The colours are what you would expect, the writing is smooth well defined and clear, and there is no build up of excess ink on the tip that causes blots as you get with some cheaper pens. I have been happy with my purchase, as these pens write smoothly, they work first time round, and with the rubberised section they are easy to use and comfortable to hold, they are much more reliable than ordinary Biros and they are reasonable value for money. Recommended.

Only use these pens now as so pleased with smooth result. They glide and are not at all scratchy and make my handwriting look good. A pleasure to use.

I came across these pens some years ago on a business trip to Germany. Not only did they do the job as a pen, but the ink seemed to write more smoothly and last longer - obviously depends on the usage - at least that was my perception. A ballpoint is a ballpoint I guess, but these pens certainly have a quality lacking in others I've used.

Tight fitting cap but comfrotable to hold. Found the writing action also smooth, but the black ink a bit weak in colour.

Lovely pens to write with, ideal for any work environment

Great pens for a good price. Super easy to write with and they’re really smooth, no scratching the paper like some cheaper biros.

Really easy to write with

Absolute waste of money, constantly have to make scribbles to get ink out of the pen, dry and scratchy when you can get ink out of them.

Good ball pens

First, I love Schneider brand pens, especially the slider basic pen. It writes well. I like the grip and its practical. I do not want to lose it or have someone borrow it and never return it, but if that should happen, I feel okay about it sense it is a reasonable priced pen for my needs. Prior to purchasing from Amazon, I would go to little pen shops and pick up a few pens in this brand as they were mainly sold individual or in a smaller size pack. Then I came to Amazon, as most people inevitable do, and I found this box of 10. I scooped it up. When I received it, I opened my package and discovered the distributor, Stride, is a company on a mission to help adults with special needs by employing them. To myself I said, "WHAAAT?!" I never knew this company existed. Here I was just trying to stock up on my favorite pens - and I stumbled upon a place that is doing God's work. Needless to say, I will be purchasing more of my favorite brand of pen directly from this amazing company (ok, probably more like "directly via Amazon"). Company personnel and leaders, if you are reading this, please know that someone in the word thinks you are MAGNIFICENT - and that someone is me. :)
