These pens are pretty awesome. I only use them at certain times, because they are not as bright as I was expecting, but the overall quality is good and its awesome that they can be erased.

I have a mild obsession with pens and am always trying new styles. I got these for school and ended up loving them. The erasable feature has helped to keep my notes neater, when I'm scribbling info for class.

These pens are super useful. Love how easy it is to erase but the ink isn't all that great and is harder to write with.

These pens write smooth n the ink shows up really well

I love the idea behind this pen and how you are able to erase your writing. The eraser does not completely remove the pen marks but it does make them lighter. Also, if the ink gets too hot it will disappear until the paper is made cold.

Great product for kids home Amazing! They write so smoothly and erase with ease. Perfect for making mistakes! I love its smooth lines and easy application. I have 2year old kid and used to write everywhere and that can't delete. So we need this one a lot

Boldest ink writing pen I've ever used. I like that although ink it cN be erased. Shows up well on xerix copier

Great pen!!! I live these pens. The color is better than other erasable pens I've tried. My only complaint is that the ink doesn't last very long.

These are an improvement over erasable pens of yesteryear. I found the pen more comfortable in my hand, and more convenient for erasure, when I left the cap off of the not-where-you-would-expect-eraser-end during use. The pink color pen, though very pretty, is of low contrast against lighter paper, and I do not use it. I enjoyed the purple color for working on puzzles, but I was dismayed that it ran out of ink rather quickly. The pricing seems a bit on the high side. They are not refillable and I dislike that for environmental reasons. The tribal tattooish graphic on the pen barrel suggests permanence, which I found to be a strange association, as it is an erasable pen. I will not be making these a replacement for my everyday pens, and will only buy them if an erasable pen need arises, which I seriously doubt will happen.

This is a big improvement over the erasable pens of the past. This pen writes smoothly, feels comfortable in hand and the ink doesn't smudge like other gel pens. The eraser does seem to a bit small, but it doesn't work like a pencil eraser, so you won't ever rub this one down to nothing. I tried both the pens and highlighters. The highlighters colors when used are not very bright on the page. When using the highlighter over the pen ink, it tends to smudge the ink, even if the pen ink was left to dry for a little while. When using the eraser, the highlighter seems to leave a slight discoloring to the paper. Only noticed this with the darker pink highlight color. When erasing the ink pens, they too leave some discoloring on the page. You can still see what was written even after erased. I don't use a lot of pressure when I write, so to have so left over after I erase it, was a little disappointing. Overall, I would use this pen on occasion, but I would probably not purchase it again.

I started back to college this semester and it was really nice to have these pens. Writing essay tests ink was worrisome until I used these pens. I was able to erase without having a mess. I have also showed them to the other students that I study with and they have been impressed with the pens and highlighters. The only downside is that they have run out of gel already and the semester is only partly done. The highlighters dried up even faster. I will purchase more as long as there is a sale or a coupon available because they are a bit pricy. Sided note, my schools student union actually carries them.

I like the pens, but I don't think that the eraser always takes away all the ink.

wasn't too pleased the ink will smear

I really like these pens they work great, write smooth, and erase cleanly. But they have very short lifespan, as the ink dries up super quickly.

Usable erasable pen! Smooth writing; eraser works well in the short term, but ink residue in the paper will eventually make its way back to the surface; ideal for note-taking.
