Idk why, but I feel like I'm smarter when I use the blue one... Whenever I use something else than this blue ink pen, I make mistakes. Blue>Black>Red

>>9647874
Whatever I can find access to at a reasonable price.

>>9648104
I like their green pens, but you always have to buy them in a pack with other shit you don't want.

>>9647874
Pencil fags are the worst.

Mechanical pencil austimos are irredeemable.

>>9648782
Do you use the green pens for the majority of your work? If so what's the appeal? I currently don't have any use for my greens

can’t believe no one has mentioned the G2 in .5 or .7mm depending on subject. I prefer .7 for general hum/social sci note taking and .5 for anything quant

everyone I know who has a favorite pen chooses this one (among people with significantly above average IQ at a top US university) so I’m not saying there’s a correct answer or anything but you choose a different pen at your own peril

It's fucking messy. It gushes more than your sisters vag.

>>9648800

Pencils have their place.

>>9648104
only correct answer in thread

>>9648845
mine definitely do not. I see this issue with uni-ball which is why I avoid those even though they are comfortable to write with

the G2 actually has a very reasonable dwell, if you leave the ball point on a page you will not have a ludicrous puddle of ink. I think you may be confusing the G2 with some other more smear-prone gel pens

>pen

Who /pencil/ masterrace here?

>>9647874
uni-ball vision elite black pen .5 MM with a black casing, additional same models for blue, red, orange and green to highlight things in notes or do revisions.

the real question is do you take notes on white paper or pic related

there is allegedly a benefit to taking notes on the yellow background

Just say it in your head, works just as well if not better.

>writing shit
>ever

>>9648810
I don't use them for the majority of my work because I don't have that many compared to other colors, I just like green. I did check online to see if they sell the green in bulk and it seems they do, so I might pick a pack up at some point.

Normally when I'm taking notes I switch between colors to clearly and quickly tell what notes are on a given page because I keep notes for multiple subjects in the same notebook. Other than that, all I want is something to write with that works, doesn't smear too much, doesn't cause handpain with prolonged writing, and produces text that's easy to read.

>>9648875
Traditionally bound notebooks work better for me, so white.

>>9648864
zebra!

5 Star narrow ruled notebooks, I like the paper quality.

>>9648875
>there is allegedly a benefit to taking notes on the yellow background
Can you elaborate on this?

>>9648864
I'm a pretentious asshole who will never use this pencil for its intended purpose, but damn does it feel nice in my hand.

>>9648875
always do notes on unruled paper. for whatever reason it's not always so easy to find unruled notebooks. muji, however, has some good options

>>9648734
>>9648746
You niggas, my niggas.

>>9648864
Love these, but I really need a metal pencil case since the little tip can snap off. Since then I went back to wood pencils.

Ticonderogas are nice for common ones, but I love me all American cedar. A nice calming scent.

What do you use this pencil for? Anal masturbation?

>>9648922
It's a drafting pencil; good idea though, I'll have to try that.

>>9648839
this is the best but I can't be fucked to buy them and for some inconceivable reason I always have a bic on hand so

Some believe that writing on a yellow pad is easier to read than writing on a white pad. But Israel Abramov, a professor of psychology at Brooklyn College and a specialist in color vision, dismisses the theory. Readability, he says, is more a matter of contrast—how the color of the ink interacts with the color of the paper—than of the paper color alone. The highest contrast scenario is black ink on white paper, though Abramov concedes that in specific conditions, yellow paper might be preferable in terms of readability. "If the light is too intense, the paper can be glaring, and yellow cuts down the glare," he said. Abramov prefers a psychological to a physiological explanation for yellow's predominance. "White paper that sits around starts to look yellow and old," he said. "I heard of one professor who used yellow paper for his lecture notes because he didn't want his students to know how old the notes were." Legal pad enthusiasts do seem to have a psychological connection to their writing tablets. Philip Moustakis, a mid-level associate at the New York firm of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle, uses one legal pad per case, and prefers yellow over white pads and a faint, as opposed to a dark, rule. "The darker lines intrude upon my thinking—they're yelling back at you," he explained. "You want a more subtle line."...

for my part, I have exceptional vision (20/15 uncorrected) which often means that in especially bright rooms or on a computer screen, too bright white doesn’t increase readability and just strains my eyes. I find that I can stare at my notes on a yellow page and my eyes are more relaxed, I can look for longer and think more clearly.

I also prefer to read older books on yellowed paper, and I like the sepia or graphite reader themes in some ebook readers or websites. It’s a matter of preference in the end, I don’t think a yellow legal pad is a brain hack, I just know it works for me and wanted to share :)

My dad was using these since before I was born. Everytime I see one it hits me right in the feels. RIP

>>9649112
also very sturdy, comfortable to the hand and not made of that cheap plastic that shatters if you grip it too hard.

>>9648913
Yes, a fellow Rotring prick!
It is such a nice weight, with a very smooth and satisfying lead-advance 'click'. Nothing else compares to a Rotring; and it will last a lifetime.

But I'll use others if they're around.

>>9648864
ayyyy

I have dysgraphia so I have to use color coding, so I don't really care beyond that.

But I prefer gel pens and use a set of colored papermate inkjoy gel

>>9648839
This ^ .5 is my preferred one although right now I'm on the .38 version. It's an okay pen but I prefer the .5
