Sorry if someone wrote on this already, but it's hard to sort through 750+ comments 50 at a time. I own a Sensa ballpoint and mechanical pencil. It is by far the most comfortable pen I have used. The grip conforms to your hand, doing a terrific job of releaving pressure on your fingers. Be sure to keep them in a safe container, as the grip is prone to puncture (I stabbed my ballpoint with my pencil once, and had to shell out $15 for a replacemet. With some searching, you should be able to get each for under $40, or go for the Cloud 9, a less expensive alternative. The ballpoint writes smooth (not as good as a fountain, which I am currently saving up for the Meridian series pen), and the pencil is the best mechanical pencil I have ever used. Go for it, you won't regret it.

Yeah, they're extremely comfortable to write with. Though I find the ballpoint kind (which use the pressurized "space pen" cartridges) tend to clog and need to be "tested" on a piece of scrap paper before writing. There are plenty of different types of cartridges, but they can only be used in the specific model.

I'm a huge fan of Sensa pens. They're well balanced, have a nice grip, and use space pen ink, which I'm also a big fan of. They're not cheap... start around $60, so not something you want to get if you're apt-get to lose things. (Get it? Apt-get! Haha!). However, they're the only pens I can write with and not wear out my wrist.

But not Gel Grip Pens... Sensa makes the most comfortable pens ever... I haven't had handcramps in a few years...

I personally own the Minx style Sensa. It's extremely comfortable. In addition to the comfort aspect, it's geek friendly with it's stylus on top for use in PDA applications. Add to this the fact that it uses pressurised cartridges for the ink so you can write at any angle , on any surface, and even under water.
I'm extremely happy with it and wouldn't want to own any other pen.
