I wanted a pen with a relatively fine point, smooth-flowing black ink, and super fast drying.
(As a leftie who weirdly drags their hand across the freshly written sentences, the fast-drying bit is really important to me.)
This is the perfect pen—for me. I buy these in boxes of 12. They come with a blue barrel, but contain black ink.
Here are all the specs: Pentel EnerGel NV Gel Ink Pen, (0.5mm), Fine Point Capped, Needle Tip, Black Ink.
I usually have four or five on my person, just in case.

You beat me to the punch with this one. I use the .7mm retractable ones, such good pens

I drag my hand across the freshly written text (leftie) so this ultra fast drying ink is a lifesaver as you can see from the photo, I make sure to have a huge backlog so I never run out

Pilot precise v5 extra fine. I love a good inky pen, and these set quickly

I need lots of pens on hand. It writes smooth and the black ink looks darker than the Pilot G2. They’re cheap enough that I don’t feel bad if I lose them, but they still feel nicer than most other pens.

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
