The UGLEE Pen isn’t designed to win beauty contests—it even calls itself “ugly”—but it’s exactly the kind of pen I prefer. I once spent a semester studying ergonomics and proper hand use to avoid injury. That knowledge became personal when I was diagnosed with tendonitis at 19 and went through painful physical therapy, so a pen that helps protect your hands matters to me.
His take: the pens felt comfortable, though a bit strange at first. Once he adapted to the unique grip, he liked how they wrote. His only complaint was that the printed name on the pen rubbed off onto his hand easily.
My take: I found the pen very comfortable. I could write normally without hand cramps and also use my alternative grip without discomfort.
Does the pen look unusual? Yes. But it isn’t unattractive—just different. The gel grip takes some getting used to, but once it feels natural, you’ll keep reaching for it. I now carry one in my purse for everyday use.
Overall, the UGLEE Pen is a well-designed, practical product. You might attract a few curious looks while writing, but the pen’s purpose is to encourage proper hand positioning and reduce the risk of injury—so it delivers both form and function.
