Schneider Ray Cartridge Rollerball Pen M (Medium), Refillable, Onyx Barrel, Royal Blue Erasable Ink Cartridge, Pack of 1 Pen (187807)

This is a great rollerball pen. I have tried a number of rollerballs that use fountain pen ink and this is the only one that I have tried that writes smoothly and is comfortable in the hand The price is also great.Definitely worth trying!

I had the same type of pen made by another company and the quality of this pen is far superior. I've been writing with this pen for about a year now, and it performs consistently, is comfortable, and allows me to use all kinds of interesting inks.UPDATE AFTER TWO YEARS: This pen still performs very well. Since the time I purchased this pen, I ordered one or two other refillable pens but this one is the easiest to write with... it is designed to fit comfortably in the hand and the writing it produces is superior to the other pens.

these pens ship minus the ink cartridge. okay, there's a cartridge except it's empty. the actual filled cartridge is hidden in the bottom of the pen unpunctured. I'm guessing they ship this way to avoid leakage. Would be nice if there was an instruction slip explaining this. Have been using pens for over 60 years and have never encountered this set up. The only way I figured it out was by watching a video. writes fabulously.

I got this for when I needed to use a ballpoint, but wanted to run my fountain pen inks. I really like it. While it's not the same experience writing with a fountain pen, it allows you to use the inks you have on hand.It comes with a cartridge that is wedged in the top of the pen and an empty cartridge you can use to fill the pen up. You can also get the Monteverde mini converter too. I just use a syringe and fill the empty cartridge. But I also tried the mini converter too. Either way is fine. One thing I do like about using the empty cartridge and filling it up, is that you can leave the filled sealed cartridge in the pen and not have to worry about the attached cartridge popping off inside of the barrel causing a giant mess. It fills the empty void behind it. You could also use it as an emergency ink storage too. Really ingenious idea!It writes very well, and I'm happy with it. I'm currently running the Rohrer and Klingner Leipziger-Schwarz and the pen performs excellent. Cannot ask for anything more! I really wish more manufacturers would get on the bandwagon. This is a great idea and very eco-friendly.

I have been looking for a pen like this for some time now. My refillables fit it well, and TIGHT seal. Had an old refill cart fail on me and I had no clue till I opened it.Wonderfully built, writes smooth, great grip. But a few, it's worth it to have them around.

This Schneider Ray Cartridge Rollerball Pen is an excellent rollerball pen that uses fountain pen ink. It takes standard international ink cartridges, and a standard international ink converter. I use a Pelikan ink converter with Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher ink. I simply dip the tip into the ink bottle and fill it as I would a fountain pen. It writes a wet, crisp line without any ink flow problems. I give this pen my highest recommendation. For those who wish to secure the barrel closed, try a few drops of Loctite on the threads. This will secure the barrel in-between ink refills, while allowing the barrel to be opened to replace the ink as needed.

I hadn’t seen this pen in person before purchasing. Luckily it is even more attractive in real life than in photos. It is lightweight yet well made with an ergonomic element to the design. For that price, I like the fact that it is reusable with the standard fountain pen cartridges. The pen feels good in the hand, and the point glides smoothly over the paper as you write. I especially like the black/grey color combination. Not only is it pretty, but it hides finger smudges too. For me, this is the best color option out of the available offerings for this particular model of pen.

Cheap junk, poor quality control.
