-Wish you could order multi packs with the clicker and earth packs to trial at first.
-Would be even better if there was an easier way to identify what ink colour is in the pen so you don't get mixed up


Just like a regular pen, but better. 

Would give a 5 based on my experience, but giving a 4 as I've only tried one product.

These pens have been great. Order these in early 2021 and almost finished my 10 pack now. I like the colours of the clicker pens received and am planning on getting the refills soon (will update on experience once ordered). I will also trial the earth pen multi pack in future (I just wondered how fiddly the cover part would be so didn't order initially) and possibly the highlighters. I do like that they come in a tube, which is great to use a pencil case alternative. 

Given the core of the pen is carboard it can get a bit fury looking (terrible description) after you've handled it a few times and thrown it around your bag, but they're still absolutely fine. This actually helps you tell which ones you've used, as it's not clear so you can't tell how much ink is left til the end. I suppose you have to develop your own little system if you are planning to keep them and refill so you don't end up with an empty pen. I was very curious to know what it would feel like using a pen with cardboard, but it has been fine, has lasted and a kinda nice sensory experience.

Prior to using these I would always a gel pen person so using ball point in general annoys me (visually/aesthetically) but I will continue to use these anyway. 

The price is reasonable, and you are able to get quite a few and reuse (wish I ordered refills in my first order). I do like that they are planning to offer whiteboard markers and that they do custom printing as well. 

These would be a great gift for students, teachers, corporate events or stocking fillers at Christmas.
