If you're left-handed, what type of pens do you recommend for comfort and for a neat writing, especially for kids ?

Viper · M
Well, I wouldn't know a thing about neat writing...

But as a left hander, I would generally say a pen is a pen... comfort will be the same.

The only huge difference that I know of, is you better make sure it's a fast drying (or at minimum, not a slow drying pen)... because the left hand will get any wet ink on it and possibly mess it up.

As for kids...

One type of pen I fell in love with as a kid was erasable pens (and I couldn't find a picture of the type I used as a kid) but looks like they're only gotten more colorful and the quantity of different types has grown.

But erasable pens so you have the smoothness of a pen, but the erasability of a pencil.

Also, there is this video, which is probably too fancy... but some nice cheaper erasable pens might be nice

I'm a lefty. I find the medium point pens are the best.

Ball point 0.7mm. 1.0 mm much better. No smudge but I am more comfortable for 0.7mm ball point. I like bold font.

I am left handed, my teachers hated me.
That was many years ago though.
My paper and arm was moved all over the desk top to get some improvement.

Nothing ever really helped mine. I write mostly in a weird block print as an adult.

Honestly, I don’t know. I prefer to write with a soft grip pen and pencil.

That isn’t going to address a teacher’s expectation of
Neat handwriting.

A left handed pen, you can buy them at any office supply.

I hardly ever write. A career in software/hardware development will do that to you. When I use a "whiteboard', I use dry-erase markers, and on occasion. when they don't have Apple or Google pay, I will sign the check with whatever pen the wait staff hands me..
I use pilot g2 pens. They write incredibly smooth and are available in .5 mm which is important to me because I write small. Ball point pens are complete trash for me. It may be because I write with a heavy hand.
I'm left handed and just found out that's a thing

A good 7 mm gel pen. I tend to smear the cheap ones, being left handed.
