Lives Up To The Hype!!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2025Color: BlackPattern: PensVerified PurchaseThe Uni-Ball Jetstream is hands down my favorite pen. It writes incredibly smoothly—like a gel pen—but dries fast like a ballpoint, so no smudging (even for lefties). The ink is bold and consistent, and the flow is just satisfying. It feels great in your hand, not too heavy or too light, and it glides over paper with zero skipping or dragging.
Whether I’m jotting notes, journaling, or signing documents, this pen never lets me down. Once you try it, it’s hard to go back to anything else. Seriously, I keep extras just in case one disappears!
If you’re picky about pens, the Jetstream is a total game-changer.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024Color: BlackPattern: PensVerified PurchaseI know these pens are highly reviewed but I've always been a little skeptical. I tend to prefer the smooth way gel pens write and always feel like ballpoints are much less impressive or satisfying to write with. That said there are times/surfaces when ballpoint ink writes better, and the ink tends to last longer than gel and I like to carry one in my bag just in case.
I tried a jetstream rt pen a few years ago that I got at a japanese dollar store. I had heard about them on wirecutter and wondered what all the hype was about. It worked fine but was nothing all that special and I kind of dismissed them from then on.
These were on sale for black friday and I needed some new ballpoints for my bag so I gave them another try.
When I opened the package today and tried it out, I was initially a little underwhelmed. The lines on my first couple letters weren't smooth; it was a typical ballpoint experience for me.
But then I kept writing and the ink quickly started to flow like it's supposed to. I was surprised at how smooth it felt and how it glided across the page. The feel was similar to the really satisfying feel of writing with my favorite gel pens and after those first couple of letters the lines have looked really smooth, too.
I can't speak to the long-term performance of these yet, but the ink is bold enough and it feels really good to write with, so at this point I'm much more impressed than I expected to be. These feel good enough to write with that I can see myself reaching for it in regular situations, not only in "just-in-case" backup situations.
Summary:
- Took a couple of penstrokes for it to "warm-up" and lines to become smooth
- Tactile feel of writing is very smooth and akin to writing with a gel-pen
- Ink is bold and smooth (after that brief initial warm-up) and closer to the bold color of a gel pen than the typical ballpoint
- I like it! I'm glad I gave it another chance.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2025Color: BlackPattern: PensVerified PurchaseGreat pens - write nicely from the first placement onto the paper almost every time.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Color: BlackPattern: PensVerified PurchaseIf you still write checks, you need this. It can't be washed off of a check, so it adds a good security feature to payments.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2025Color: Bulk BlackPattern: PensVerified PurchaseLove these! They have a nice grip and the ink flows very smoothly, creating a rich, even, black line. They cost more than some other pens, but they last a very long time and have good ink flow right up to the end. As an artist, I always have a pen within six feet of me, so I have one or two of these in every room. This is my go to brand!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2025Color: BlackPattern: PensVerified PurchaseAs a left handed person, I've used Jetstream for years and wouldn't consider using anything else
