1 looks the most balanced to pen spin with the least egregious lapel.

None. Pens fucking suck. There are limited use cases for pens, which is basically none unless I am signing a contract.
For every single other use case I’d rather have a mechanical pencil.
I respectfully disagree, pencils are the devil's implement, pens are for the superior writer.
Since having to write so many notes in school, I've preferred pens.
Your assessment is nonsense but ok

Honestly those of us who've bought 1 or 2 already main those. I'll never by another pen, the writing quality of the Uniball is just superb. The plastic grip isn't uncomfortable like you'd think, and rubber grips tend to feel weird after lots of writing anyways. The build quality is top notch, as someone who's accidentally broken lots of pens. Just a great design
Seconded. As far as pens are concerned, Uniball is where it's at.

I already mainly write with #1s
Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.
So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.
7 can burn in hell
1 & 2 top picks, then 6 & 7. The rubber sleeves are nice for short notes and whatnot. They get slippery from sweating eventually. Maybe just a me thing.
Damn, pen so out of shape that he's sweating.
Pentel ENERgel pens.
But if I had to choose, 2 or 5. I have 3 at work and while it is nice, I don't know if it has the same kind of staying power 2 or 5 do.
Where is the fountain pen??
Can I just have a Parker IM Ballpoint? I hate plastic pens.
I once bought a pack of maybe 40 number 7 in all 4 colors, I am basically committed for life.
But these fuckers dry out if you don't use them for a long time, I had to throw away a bunch. I tried receiving some by soaking them in Isopropyl alcohol, it worked for some but not all.
Being that my usual choices aren't on there no real preference TBH, except I prefer click to cap. Given the choice overall decidedly the Zebra F-301 with a bold ink cartridge.
jokes on you, #2 have already been besties for 10+y
2 or 5.
5 because it's convenient and a Swiss army knife of pens.
2 because sometimes you just gotta shank a bitch.
this is left handed discrimination
which one?
Out of fascination how is a left handed pen different? I just grabbed mine and it looks pretty symmetrical. I get the whole ink on hands thing but the meme didn't say you couldn't use a pencil or type anymore.
when you write left-handed you push the nib into the paper rather than dragging it. left-handed pens have angled tips so the nib still drags.
So it'd be one of these pens with a different cartridge, essentially. I think the question still works in that case.

I use a Lamy Studio to write, so close to a 6.
Also in my arsenal is a Parker Jotter and a Moonman C1.

None of these are fountain pens, the obviously superior choice over ball-points.
Hear, hear!

7 because I like to eat my pen covers (please tell me I'm not alone in this).
- Fisher space pen
I keep one at my desk and have one in my pocket (most of the time).
