Rapid Pro Black Ballpoint Pen

This is a solid, well-balanced pen that feels premium in the hand. Its full-metal body provides a satisfying weight without being tiring, and the knurled grip offers excellent control, even during extended writing sessions. The click mechanism is smooth and reliable, and the refill delivers consistent, dark ink with no skipping. While it's on the pricier side, it's a durable, professional-grade pen that's worth the investment for those who write regularly and appreciate quality design.

As a millennial, I think I'm inclined towards stationary and writing utensils. When I was little, I loved going back-to-school shopping and getting pencils, pens, crayons, markers, Trapper-Keepers (later, Five Star binders), and notebooks. Since then, I've always loved getting new pens.I was in the market for a durable pen and had remembered reading an article on either ArsTechnica or The Atlantic a few years ago about rOtring. Upon reading the reviews here, I settled on the rOtring Rapid Pro ballpoint pen.The first thing that struck me was its heft. It's definitely heavier than other pens I've used but it feels sturdy in hand. The matte black finish on the aluminum and the knurled grip make it feel secure while I'm writing.This pen is a dream to write with. It flows smoothly over paper and makes my note taking a lot easier. Additionally, the ink doesn't smudge or smear, which is a problem I'd been having with my previous pen, a Pilot Dr. Grip.Overall, while expensive compared to other ballpoint pens, this is worth the cost if you take copious handwritten notes and want a pen that feels great in hand.

I was surprised by how much I like the rapid pro over the normal 600. The slightly thicker grip makes a world of difference when it comes to comfort over longer writing sessions. And for some reason, I feel like I can write faster with this pen, maybe due to the grippiness of the knurling and the weight distribution. Feels very good, great pen for Parker style refills, I would recommend this all day, everyday.

Detracted star only because the description says blue ink; being the specific reason I purchased the pen I was slightly disapointed to find that I was sent one with black ink. Great pen. Weighted well with smooth mechanism; tight fitting and joined components with little to no rattle.

It’s a great pen. The gnarling on the grip is crisp, it looks cool and I like extra weight of the metal casing. Easy to find replacement ink at staples.

I was fortunate enough to have acquired one of these pens prior to buying this one and instantly loved that one enough to buy another. They have a comfortable weight and mimic the feel of a pencil with a textured grip. They are refillable and if you have an ink preference, I am sure you can easily find an ink that will suit your needs. They are all metal and as such have an unmatched durability and unlike bulkier pens they are comfortable to use and won’t cause fatigue. Overall they are a well-balanced pen that should last you for a very long time. Some may read this and say “a pen is a pen” and I can understand that but if you are an artist or writer I feel like you will be satisfied with this purchase.

Weighty quality pen. Don’t love the filling it comes with. That’s personal preference these Parker style refills can be had in many other brands and types . Just order what you like. I wanted more like a pentel g- tec or a floating ball so ordered those. If you want options Jetpens is slow but has more choice

This pen is a solid make, has good weight and very good body control. I absolutely love it, having used Rotring since 1976.It came with a really great cartridge with amazing ink flow for a ballpoint pen (Easy flow 9000), but the replacement cartridges I have bought on Amazon all seem to be duds or brand imitation garbage, meaning I can't use the pen anymore as much as I love it.Recommendations for a reputable dealers with PROPER CARTRIDGES would be appreciated.

Bastante buen producto.Lo recomiendo ampliamente

Muy bien producto. Un saludo

Eccellente

القلم اصلي وعملي، وزنه غريب وثقيل شوية بس مع الوقت بتتعود عليه ووزنه بيساعدك في الكتابة، مصنوع من النحاس، ومع الوقت اللون ممكن ينكشط ويطلع اللون الحقيقي (نحاسي) حاول ما تخزنه مع مفاتيح، اجسام حادة، او اي شي ممكن يكشط لون القلم، الافضل كمان ابعاده عن العطور.لكن الحبر ناشف اكثر من الطبيعي وافضل Parker G2 Gel refill.الحلو فيه انه يستخدم Parker G2 refill وتقدر تستبدله بالحبر اللي يناسبك بعدين

pen arrived in great condition with blue ink cartridge. I love the feel and look of this pen. Writes smooth with a firm weight.
