I love the silver one I’ve had for about eight years, even with a few dings or dents on it, it’s almost like a patina of use, which is appealing to me.

    I refuse to write with anything other than a uniball signo in blue (unless required to use pencil for school). I actually took one of my uniball ink cartages and put it in a nice looking enclosure. I used to use a pilot G2 because it was so smooth, but I found the ink would smear when I wrote fast, so I switched to the signo because it was the same smoothness without the smearing.

    Few things, which may help you increase popularity further.
    1. At the end of the video, a comparative chart with qualities in rows and pens in columns and assessments in cells would've been awesome.
    2. Leverage UA-cam Chapters
    3. Research on keywords associated with this and lace the description with the same.
    4. Cross reference this with similar keywords from other sites such as linkedin (SEOs really well), twitter, instagram, facebook, and other similar sites.
    5. Make a UA-cam short on this and post a link to this video on there.

    I've used the uniball signo 207's, pentel energel's and Inkjoy 1.0mm before. I wish I had discovered the first two in college. Inkjoy is better than bic for sure but still lots of resistance. Never tried the Pilot yet but will sometime. I've tried their frixon but not the G2. Signo and energel are pretty close but I favor the Energel at the moment. Not a big fan of the new Sharpie s gel's but I have a .5 which I always dislike I prefer .7mm ( even to 1.0mm I prefer .7mm)

    For me, the best would have to be Sakura Pigma Micron (not included in your review). It's almost the same as the Staedtler Pigment but Sakura's doesn't bleed through the pages and is waterproof.
    My next fave would be PaperMate Inkjoy Gel Pen (again, not included in your review ☺). They come in 0.5mm and 0.7mm tips
    Then, Pentel EnerGel which come in 0.5mm and 0.7mm tips as well (refillable inks)
    Pilot G2 is my top 4 which has 0.5mm, 0.7mm, and 1.0mm tips (refillable also).

    Now are there any long-term tests to see how different ones write when almost empty? Some may dry out prematurely or become prone to clogging/skipping before the ink tube completely empties. I think that may be the test that would break some of them, vs. comparing them all fresh out of the package.

    G-2 finer variant (below 0.7) is bad it is scratchy ( Pilot Hi tec c is better if you wanna get thin line) and the weakness of G2 is that they need to be pressed little harder. the best in my arsenal is Uniball signo 307 micro it is 0,5 not so big or thin but god, it is smooth really need little presure to make it usable. I accustomed to using pen with very little pressure or even nothing because I use fountain pen alot, so when I need to use regular pen the pressure it needs to flow is important for me and Uni Signo 307 is awesome in that category

    I haven't tried the Staedtler but I don't think you'll find a smoother pen than the Energel. Personally I carry the G2 in .7 mm. because it holds up well in my jeans pocket, always writes smoothly, has a large ink supply, and is bold and dark. I was surprised that this pen won my own personal testing, but it just works. Your test was pretty basic and sadly lacking and the winner was preordained I think. You got a video out of it anyway so that's something.
