Top 4 Best 0.5 Gel Pens – Fine Tip & Black Ink

If you’re like me and have small handwriting and enjoy writing small, then you must be one to enjoy the best 0.5 gel pens as well!

I have found that 0.5mm is the perfect fine tip for small handwriting. A size of 0.7mm is often too broad and unreadable with small handwriting. And smaller than 0.5 can be too scratchy and unpleasant to write with.

So, what’s the best 0.5mm gel pens for school or work?

Note! This list features 0.5 gel pens with black ink since that’s the color I tend to buy and have tested, but most of them are available in other colors as well.
