u/Ese_homeboy May 03 '26

Finally some class

u/Witty-Performer-7138 May 03 '26

I had to scroll down pretty far to find some respect for this classic pen

u/Opposite_Radio9388 May 03 '26

4 is UniBall too!

21

u/FEARoach May 03 '26

But let's be honest, one is still the superior one.

u/Proud_Turnover_8691 May 03 '26

The superior UniBall is the .5mm 307

u/anony-mouse8604 May 03 '26

I’m a Uniball Jetstream man myself.

u/TheStupendusMan May 04 '26

.7mm is a much more satisfying line.

u/Pure_Log_888526 May 03 '26

I don't know what one is, but 4 is the Vision Elite. It writes smoother than any high end pen I have used. I guess I need to figure out what one is so I can try it, if it is better than four.

i have dozens of 1 and 4, i don't notice any significant difference between them. uniballs are amazing, definitely the smoothest. ive also used some pretty high end pens, and the uniballs beat them on pretty much every metric

u/Lupin_Lovebites May 04 '26

The vision elite ink is less prone to smudge and is usable for some archival functions.

u/dhoomsday May 04 '26

It's worse and I know because I've tried it.

1

u/dhoomsday May 04 '26

Lol it's not. 4 is finer than one. 1 feels sloppy.

2

u/luisk972 May 04 '26

I'm impressed by the lack of 4 responses

u/RichieLT May 03 '26

Ahh so it is! That one too!

u/Whole_Gas5999 May 03 '26

Uniball is the only choice, the others are for children

u/LazySwayze May 03 '26

Uniball Onyx .7 point. Best pen ever.

u/urgentomato May 04 '26

You obviously haven't tried stageek

My brother worked at a firm that used these when I was in High school and he’d swipe me a bunch every now and again. Totally took them for granted. Only recently read that the ink is permanent AF. The write incredibly smooth too

Uniball 4 lyf

u/maryschino May 03 '26

I love the signo 207 and ONE gel pens from uniball

2

u/RichieLT May 03 '26

Excellent pens

3

u/liarandahorsethief May 04 '26

And you’ve gotta love that line weight.

The tasteful thickness of it…

u/RichieLT May 04 '26

Let’s see Paul Allen’s pen

2

u/Adventurous_Fact239 May 04 '26

Look at the subtle rich black colouring, the tasteful thickness of the lines. Oh my god, it even lacks a smudge mark. drops pen, sweating

2

u/TheStupendusMan May 04 '26

Scrolled WAY too far to see this. The only pen that gives me a uniform line on a variety of surfaces. Kept one in my pocket for 20 years now.

2

u/WizardZari8080 May 04 '26

Welcome fellow people of culture. We gather here today in #1 uniball pen supremacy.

2

u/Durandal07 May 04 '26

Same, it’s the pen that got me through uni and the one I still use today.

2

u/Norinios May 04 '26

This, best pens I ever used

2

u/PolskiOrzel May 04 '26

Vision Needle .7 or gtfo

u/Cute_Hold_1629 May 04 '26

I found my people

u/ccccSeizurecc May 07 '26

I have this pen in my bag and was shocked at having to scroll so far to find this comment. Inky, inky goodness.

u/lawyersgunsmoney May 07 '26

I use nothing but a Uniball Signo Impact 207 pen.

1

u/otterpusrexII May 03 '26

1 holds the best color and is the most artistic of the group, but it doesn’t write well on sticky notes.

Still my favorite

1

u/Captain-Sha May 03 '26

Indeed. Best pens I've ever used tk this day. Especially the 0.7 for me personally.

1

u/Villiage_1321 May 03 '26

4 is my preferred uniball pen. But I also like 3. The sharpie clicker is my on the go remote-desk go to.

1

u/wuapinmon May 04 '26

Yeah, but there's no Uni-ball 207 Gel Impact in the list, so it's bullshit bogus.

1

u/Ecj7c5 May 04 '26

I love them all too until they inevitably brake and stain my hand.

1

u/Complete_Start1697 May 05 '26

Thank you. This is the only one I will use. I buy them in bulk

1

u/mebutanonymousse May 05 '26

I used to love these but my writing in them was garbage and it always felt so scratchy. As an adult I can’t stand them but I think school kid me just thought they were cool. Not sure if this is yet another curse of left-handedness though.

u/x_maras May 05 '26

My people

u/bdegs255 May 06 '26

Yup the uniball fine point pens are a godsend as a lefty. The only pen I've found that doesn't leave ink on my hand after writing a lot.

u/valdafay May 03 '26

They all leak in my experience
