Zebra Multi Function Sarasa 4＋S Black/Red/Blue/Green Ink 0.5mm Ballpoint Pen, 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil, Black Body, J4SA11-BK

I've had several of these pens, but they seem to have succumbed to the same monster that steals socks in dryers. In some ways it is like a good pair of socks: it is easy to use; it does its job well everyday; good quality means I'm not frustrated when using it. This, and other type, Zebra pens have been good quality with reliable easy to use mechanisms. The inks (gel and ballpoint) apply smoothly, with good coverage. Smearing has not been a problem. The colors are very good, and Zebra has a broad range to select from. Having four pens and a pencil in one pen means the pen has to be fatter, but Zebra has done a good job in keeping it manageable. It has a rubberized surface that makes gripping the pen comfortable. There's not much room left over, so the eraser for the pencil is small, but it erases well. The little plastic cap over the eraser goes on and off easily, thought it is easy to lose. Zebra has an opportunity to make the pen even better. They could make the cap function as a stylus! Back to the good design - the pen clip is hinged, so it remains snug without being annoyingly tight; and it doesn't get slack or break off. The clip opening is high enough so that the pen doesn't ride too high in a shirt pocket. Overall the pen is pretty much perfect in it's class, and the price is reasonable. I'll keep buying this pen. (If some superior design should eventually come along, I suspect it might be made by Zebra.)

A great multi pen. Ink flows nice and smooth as to be expected. It would be a good idea to just buy the refills along with your initial purchase. Great variety of colors for all my note taking needs. Love the nice rubber grip as well. Being a multi pen, is a bit on the chunky side, which I like. Skinny pens tend to make my hand cramp. Colors easy to access as well as the pencil, so very easy to use. Huge fan of Japanese stationary, so another fine little pen for my collection!! A++

I love this pen. It’s a little fatter than most of the pens I use, but it is very comfortable. The ink flows smoothly, and dries almost instantly! This is especially important for me because I’m a leftie. Because of the number of ink cartridges shoved into one barrel, none of them have a ton of ink. That is the worst thing about it. The pencil sometimes sticks down a little, but a gentle flick usually solves that problem…and may be because I fidget with the pen a lot. I have ordered a second one of these and some refills, one filled with just Blue and Black for work, the other filled with the colors I use for my leisure writing. Overall, a delightful pen, worth the cost.

Excellent quality writing instrument. The pens are .3mm, while the pencil is .5, and the ink is very smooth. Excellent value, functionality and high quality

I've been a fan of Zebra pens and pencils for a long time and this is no exception. I mainly wanted a multi-function pen + pencil to carry with an A6 planner. I've only used the pencil and black ink so far and it works, feels good, and the pen writes better than any other pen I've used before.

The inks are clear and don't smear very much. The pen feels nice in the hand, and the barrel is on the wider side. I like the looks of this pen, and the price is right compared to other options.

This pen is alright. It has black, red, green, and blue inks with a mechanical pencil insert. The pen inserts advance nicely, but the mechanical pencil one tends to get stuck. The inserts also don't fit firmly into the tip of the pen which can lead to them moving around as you're writing. I love the Sarasa Clip, so I was expecting to love this pen as well. I was disappointed. It's functional, but I never use it because it's just not a nice writing experience. I wouldn't buy this again. It's just not the pen for me.

It's the best multi-pen I have ever used! The gel ink makes nice bold lines without skipping like regular ink multi-pens. I love them so much. The only downside is that since it's a multi-pen there is less ink for each color. There are refills. I use the black ink the most and one refill only lasts me about a week. For me being able to have only one pen for my planner is so worth the ink cost. I was using Pilot Precise V5 pens before and they have a lot of ink and last a long time so it's been an adjustment. However, the tradeoff is worth it to me to not have to carry around five pens and a pencil for my planner! I bought multiples of these pens and keep on in my purse, one at my desk, and a few extra that way the ink in each one lasts longer and I don't have to refill them as often.
