What Are The Most Ergonomic Pens (For You)?

[georgeb]

I prefer pens with smooth areas above the nibs.  For example, Parker 51 and ones similar to it.  The most ergonomic pen I have is the Laban Mento because of its size and shape.  Others include the Cross Aventura, Waterman Carene, Sheaffer Legacy II, Jinhao X159.  Which ones do you find ergonomic?

I have large hands with (early) arthritic fingers.  I find pens with the fattest section possible the most comfortable to use for long sessions.

I like slender pens that fit my odd grip. Sailor Chalana, Japanese pocket pens, Salz Peter Pan, Parker 180, Sheaffer slim pens. I enjoy both hooded and open nibs, prefer 14k.

The pens that fit my hands perfectly are the Pilot 823 and MB146.

I find large, or rather Jumbo-sized, pens to be most ergonomic. Here in India we easily get such pens in ebonite or acrylic. My top pick in terms of ergonomic is Kim ACR Jumbo pen.

The OMAS 360, hands down (forgive the pun). I also find the sections on the Aurora 88 (modern) and the Optima very comfortable for long writing sessions. Pelikan M800 is not bad either in that respect.

As long as the section is thick enough (11mm at least) or very ergonomic (Parker 75) and not slippery, I don't have too much trouble.

 

The only strange one to hold for the first three seconds is a Dunhill Dress Classic Gemline, with its section that goes from square to round.

Most comfortable pen that I have ever held: Lamy Nexx

For me, the most comfortable pens are the ones that have the best balance.   Most older Sheaffers do that for me, including the PFM.  But the best ever, for me, is the Sheaffer Balance Millennium.

I would like to add the Waterman Phileas and Montblanc 146.
