BAZIC Ballpoint Pen Palm Mini Pens w/Key Ring, Black Ink 1.0 mm Bold Point (5/Pack), 1-Pack

I am a student, and generally on the go a lot of the time. I originally wanted a keychain pen because I was a liquor merchandiser, and needed a pen handy to scribble my lists on the job. I ended up first buying the Nite Ize Inka Mobile Pen and Stylus (IMP-M1-R7). This pen isn't particularly stylish but it had a screw in cap on both sides to prevent it from coming off the clip structure which was nice. I would end up snagging the pen on something in a hurry while I was out and about and lost at least two of them. For $7 a pop, not a huge deal. I never used the stylus feature.I then went to the True Utility TU246 TelePen Telescoping Key Ring Pen with 3 Refills. This pen is telescoping, which is nice because it takes up less space on your keychain. The drawback with telescoping is that it is one more little step you have to go through when you are trying to access your pen in a hurry. The other drawback with this pen is that the pen does not screw into the clip structure, which means you just pop the pen off from the pen cap. This means the chances of it falling off is high, and that's what happened to me. The ink refill cartridges is a nice thought but you will most likely lose the pen before needing a refill on ink. For $8 it may be worth the risk to you, it may not.I then stumbled upon these Bazic keychain pens. I am most satisfied with this purchase out of the alternatives because at $7 I can lose 17 of them and still be good without having to get back on Amazon and submitting a new order. The quality is what you would expect...they are cheap little mini keychain pens. I'm not sure why the star ratings on them were less than some of the competitors. I could've gone without the cheesy assortment of colors, but with 18 pens you can float the colors you don't want to whomever wants them. At the end of the day it is only a matter of time until you lose your keychain pen...this seems to be the best option around right now.

Great size. I got it specifically for putting in my tiny notebook spiral. It writes really well, no skipping. Only thing to note is the bumps on one end of the pen can hurt your finger if writing with it for a long time. Not a deal breaker for me tho.Nice price for how many packages come with it. All pens write in black.

They work. I got them to add to mini notebooks I was making as gifts. Suitable size for a tiny notebook. Would work for little hands.

Love little orbs. They fit in my little purses.

Cute kids pens. My daughter and her friends loved them!

The 'Key chain' part of this product is pretty much a no go as the loop at the top of the cap is very flimsy and will break off rather quickly and the cap pops off really easily.Also the cap needs to be twice as long as putting the cap on the back of the pen just barely increases the pens length long enough to be used to write with, having the cap an extra inch long would have made the pen much easier to write with.The amount of ink left in the inkwell in the pen is purposely hidden by having the tube made of white plastic instead of being transparent, as someone who works in the plastics industry it cost more to use white color for a product than using cheaper regular clear Polypropelyne without it so why they chose to spend extra on this is beyond maddening when it obscures how much ink is left in the pen , AAARG!The ink tube inside the pen is insanely thin to the point of ubsurdity.I found the tiny plumbers chain to be rather cute and linked a few of them together to make a interesting if quirky bracelet.

I got these to attach to my lanyard at work, they work great and are fun to write with. When purchasing I did think that they were colorful, but was pleasantly surprised when I discovered they all have black ink (probably should read the description more carefully next time). I'm a lefty and the ink dries pretty quickly and doesn't smudge all over like many pens do. They are definitely small, but I'm still able to write normally with them. Really convenient pens and great quality for the price.

I have one of the pens hanging from my work badge retractable lanyard. It's exactly what I needed. Small, lightweight, and is still a reasonable pen to write with. I find the caps to be very secure, though I guess this could change with time and use. I do not like the beaded chain - it sort of defeats the purpose of not wanting the pen to hang lower than necessary, and it seems likely to fail, so I switched it out with a small split ring.
