I've been collecting pens for a long time, but never have I found such an inexpensive one that does everything I need a pen to do (including draw) while sparing my ergonomically challenged hand further strain. Presenting Itoya's Gripper MD. The best thing it does, besides balance, is absorb the varying pressure of the fingers as they grip the pen. I think that's the critical bit: the flex of the grip.

I recently purchased this pen and agree about the grip. I purchased some fine tip blue cartridges, as I prefer blue to black.
But I am disappointed with the action of the retractor. The action is rough, not smooth, and it doesn't work about 50% of the time or more. The cartridge gets caught up and doesn't fully retract or seat properly. I'm not sure if this is a spring problem, but it seems like it. I'll be looking for a different rollerball pen, though I may see what Itoya has to say.
