Finally found the spokesperson for all professionals… sent you a PM
Pen's what?
I use a Lamy Safari ballpoint myself. Uni Jetstream pens were popular in my old team.
I should neg this, it';s BAD!
You'll run out of ink fast with those superfluous apostrophes
They're not apostrophes, they're capital commas.
Best pen to use at work is one that is not yours.
Whoever left a brand new Lamy Safari Medium nib Rollerball pen in the stationery cupboard - kudos! Mine now
That is a fancy pen. Good work!
Whoops. It was actually a fountain pen, not a rollerball one. But yeah definitely not something you'd find at Winc, so promptly nicked it to add to my Lamy Safari collection (so now have a mechanical pencil, a rollerball pen, an extra fine nib fountain pen and a ballpoint pen to go with the 'borrowed' medium nib fountain pen)
Can’t go past Rotring 600. Get it on sale.
Seriously hard to beat a BIC crystal or similar, honestly for the price they are a great pen
But if you want the best (and are prepared to spend money) UNI Jetstream
My favourite ball point pens are these Pilot pens: https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/pilot-bp-1…. There are a few different variations of the size of the ball, so definitely try out a few types if you are interested.
Alternatively, I love a 0.4mm Artline felt tip pen.
If you want to move into fountain pens I would suggest a Lamy.I was given a carton of Micador's (78% Recycled) from the last election. Most were that bad, I threw them out.
reddit told me uni jetstream retractables
so like the dumb herd animal i am i followed
The one named after my anatomy - Uniball Micro
Buy yourself a nice Parker pen. They aren't that expensive (~$30-50 for a decent one) and are really nice to use. Not sure why people keep recommending pencils to you on here.
Uni-Ball Signo Gel Grip Gel Pen
Not that I write that much but they seem to run out quickly, even before I lose them haha.
Go to Officeworks or a news agency and test which pen feels good in your hand??
I really like my Pentel Energel X pens - and so do many other people in my office when they see my pens…
I quite like the BIC Gelocity Quick Dry Retractable Gel Pen 0.7mm, $4.36 at Officeworks:

I can't seem to find anywhere that sells refills, though.
For a disposable, I’m a big fan of Mitsubishi Pencil Co.’s Power Tank. I can write upside down with it when I’m exhausted. But make it any colour other than black — I despise black
Anything that’s a medium ball, not a fine one. 0.7 or 1.0mm. And blue ink.
These write well. https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/pentel-ene…Pentel Energel X
I got a Waterman ballpoint from work and it's actually pretty good to write with. Weighty but with a nice balance and smooth rolling ball. I started using it when working from home started. Never used it at work in case I left it somewhere or it went walkabout.
I have been a more utilitarian pen user, using whatever is in the cupboard at work but i can now see the attraction of a good pen.
Waterman pens are great … except in Winter when it's like writing with a stick of ice
Professionals don't use pens but Big and Pilot would be my choice of pens.
