Ink flows like a fountain pen but easier to use. I was very pleased with them personally **Q: Do they come with the rotating stand?** A: sorry Andrea i cant remember. i had a look at my browsing history and these pens are laid side by side even though the picture does state with rotating stand? **Q: is it possible to buy refill for these pens? Or does Amazon (or other seller) has any gel pen that is refillable?** A: Try the Pentel retractable gel pens. Excellent quality and you can buy a box of refills (x10). The pens are more expensive but they are sturdy so buying refills make them more attractively priced. Amazon do pack of 5 pens but BLACK only. If you require Blue, you would probably have to go to the PENTEL site or another large office stationery supplier. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality pens - and cheap too! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 November 2025* Pens are of good quality, especially for the price. They are also extremely smudge resistant and dry down quickly, which is great because I use these for writing up my lab book. The ink flow also seems fantastic so far, but since I’ve only been using one pen for a week, I can’t yet speak for longevity. The pen is not at all scratchy and it is very comfortable to write with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent gel pens *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 November 2022* Amazon Basics Retractable Gel Ink Pens - Fine Point, Black, 12-Pack===================================================I used to primarily use staedtler ballpoint pens, but years ago after falling in love with gel pens I only ever use these ones nowadays. Yes the gel pens don't last anywhere near as long as ball points and ball points are way cheaper, but I really like these Amazon basic ones. I do a fair amount of writing notes and usually buy a box or two of these every 6-8 months or so. Each pen is sealed with a tiny red lump of wax or whatever it is - easy to pull off and can start to use straight away.love the fact that as it gets towards the end you don't have to keep flicking the pen, as you would with ballpoints to get the last few drops of ink. Also general writing is very easy compared to ballpoint, especially if you like writing in small text sizes and I don't get writer's cramps as often with these pens.The thing I don't like about these pens is that the ink doesn't always dry straight away, and if you turn the page over too soon, or put your hand over it, you end up smearing the ink. However, the ink is still good enough to use on both sides of the same page even on 70 and 80 gm paper. The other minor niggle is on some types of paper the ink doesn't flow like it normally does - it behaves like it's running out of ink, and comes out scratchy, but when you switch to normal paper it flows ust fine. Overall great gel pens. Over last few years the pens have sold between 8 and 10 pounds per box of 12. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value , decent but not the best *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 July 2025* Why did you choose this product over others?:Decent pens , not the best im terms of smoothness of writing , they feel a bit scratch , but for the value its a decent compromise.
