Zebra G Series Review
The Zebra G series of gel pens is an affordable, long lasting, and comfortable option for those who want a good quality pen on a budget. The three pens I will be reviewing today are the G-402, G-450, and the G-750. Let's get started!
Starting things off, we have the G-402. I purchased this pen from my university's bookstore about a month ago, and have been really enjoying it for note taking. It's made of silver stainless steel and uses a 0.5 mm Zebra JK refill, which allows for thin and precise lines. The 402 has a smooth rubber grip that is very comfortable for long writing sessions. Most of the weight lies in the grip area which helps reduce hand fatigue. It retails for 6 dollars USD.
Next up is the Zebra G-450. This pen is a step up from the G-402. It features an all-black brass body and textured rubber grip. It is the same length as the 402, and almost the same shape, minus a few details. The black brass gives the pen a smooth texture that feels great in the hand. This pen, as well as the 750, use 0.7 mm JK refills. The writing experience is smooth as butter, and is well comparable to that of the Pilot Energel. It produces thick and smooth lines, at the cost of only lasting a few days. Extra refills aren't too expensive, and it is worth it for the quality of the pen itself. The Zebra G-450 retails at 7 dollars USD.
Finally, the star of the show: the Zebra G-750. This is the end-all-be-all gel pen. With a knurled grip, excellent center of balance, triangular barrel, and clicky mechanism, this pen is the last one you'll ever need. The main differences between the G-750 and those previously mentioned is its length. It is a good deal longer, providing much more stability when writing. It retails for 9 dollars.
