Cross Click Rolling Ball Pen - Pure Chrome

Great pen, fantastic writer and very good delivery time.

Purchased for my brother's 40th as a nice keep sake. Came in a nice box.

Most my purchases revolve around ensuring the quality and image of the product (due to my line of work). This is a thin gel based pen. It writes with ease and looks extremely professional. I purchased one locally for a much higher price, and then this one via Amazon at a bargain price as a gift. I don't think I'll move to another one anytime soon.

This is a really nice pen. It's beautifully made. The clicky action feels just right, and the body is completely simple and free of decoration. If i had to improve it I'd maybe add a tiny bit of pattern around the grip area, some tiny indents or something, because this smooth aluminium can be a tad slidy in certain conditions. Not too much though - really subtle dots. But, the downside. The gel ink is awful. Scratchy, doesn't flow nicely, just plain bad. Turns out too, it's impossible to get any good inks for this sized pen. It doesn't take standard Cross cartridges, it takes some other random size with only a few different inks are available for. I bought them all, and they were equally bad for writing with - not living up to the standard I'd expect from Cross. The 'gel' one that comes with the pen though is particularly bad. It's almost like they supplied it as a joke. In the end I used a standard black Parker biro cartridge in it, with a tiny bit of plastic tube shoved in to make it fit. It's now a good pen, but I had high expectations for the ink after using other Cross pens in the past. Apparently the Cross cartridges at this size are just crappy across the board. The standard pen I use, day-to-day, is a Staedler Pigment Liner. This has the best writing experience of any pen I've ever used. If there could be a way to get that pen into this Cross body, that would be the world's best pen, hands down.

Line Size is 0.7mm, not 0.5mm.

The pen is gorgeous, but it the ink must be dry because it doesn't work. I have asked the seller for a replacement refill and have purchased another refill just in case. The seller promptly replaced the refill and it writes like a dream now. Thank you!

I love the cross brand and the style. However, disappointed does not cover it. I bought this pen for work. Literally used it a couple of times and the ink in the pen has run out! Even cheap high street biros lasted longer than this.

For those of us who are fans of Cross Pens, this is a lovely pen although perhaps a little expensive when you have to replace the refills about every 3 months - but that's because I use iot.

Très beau stylo roller. Seul petit problème : l'encre ne sèche pas très vite. Sinon top

Sono un appassionato delle Cross Century, ne ho svariate, di ogni tipo: penne a sfera, roller, matite..con diverse finiture. Questa è la terza Click che acquisto, la prima è in metallo lucido, la seconda nero satinato. Scrivono tutte con refill a inchiostro GEL, tenetelo presente, non a tutti piace. Io non sono particolarmente appassionato di tale tipo di inchiostro, ma devo riconoscere che il tratto è di un bel nero intenso, estremamente scorrevole. Per questo prezzo, direi consigliatissima

Wer ganz schmale Stifte mag, mag diesen hier! Hält sich gut in der Hand, ist gut verarbeitet und schreibt ganz weich. Ich benutze eigentlich nur Füller, aber dieser Rollerball schreibt ausgesprochen gut und entspannt die Hand. Habe jetzt zwei davon, weil ich sie so mag.

Ottima penna, per amatori e non

Enjoying the product. Much recommended
