UGLee Pen Preliminary Review

Given that I’ve been using the UGLee Pen on a daily basis for the past couple weeks, now is the perfect time for a preliminary review.  The pen was designed by James Lee, M.D. (full disclosure: Dr. Lee provided 3 pens free of charge for the review).  Also, in case you’re wondering, the “UG” in UGLee stands for “ultimate grip.”  Below are my preliminary impressions:

• Design accommodates left-handed writers.  It also fits right-handed writers – at least with similar sized hands.
• Barrel length, including notch, appropriately fits larger hands.  I still have to investigate its fit with smaller handed writers.
• Grip requires less tension between thumb and index finger to write.  This was noticed after the first use and became more apparent over time.  
• Ink allows for smooth, smudge-free writing.  Important for all writers, but even more so for a left-handed writer like myself.
• “UGLee” is an apt name.  While not the most stylish pen on the market, if forced to choose, I’ll take “function” over “form” any day.

I’ll be providing a more comprehensive review in the near future that will compare the UGLee Pen with several other ergonomic pens.  I’ll also provide a summary of the general findings from the literature on pen ergonomics.
