Which is the best pen for UPSC Mains?

Lefty and a V5 user. Has anyone tried the recent cartridges that fit in V5 as well as V7? They are waterproof, making V5 a good deal.

Not water proof imo.

I absolutely love V5 too but they consistently die on me, hence the shift to V7

V7 is the greatest invention of Human kind.

I have never been able to use ball pens. Let me try some pens from this thread. 

Try roller then Ink based pen like V5, trimax etc. Ball too dont scratch but their ink is more thick as compared to Gel which make them slow.

What's wrong with V5 except these two shortcomings?

1. Delicate nib - breaks often, specially for people with tight grip. 

2. Not waterproof. 


V5 being not waterproof is the biggest drawback of that pen for me. 

What if I spill water on the sheets by mistake? 

What if the invigilators spill water on the sheets by mistake? 

What if the paper checker spills water on the sheets by mistake? 

Can't risk years of preparation just because the pen wasn't waterproof. 

P. S: This is just a personal opinion. I'm usually quite optimistic , but this is TOO RISKY.. 

Probability of you meeting an accident before exam is more. :P

Hahaha, So evil , lol.. 

How about that accident involves me spilling water on your mains answer sheet.? 

Just kidding.

Obviously you are kidding,  probability of two people interacting and clearing pre and ending up on adjacent seat is definitely less than either of us clearing it. :P

Try framing better examples of probability, it will help in ethics 😅

Personal ones ?

Probability of me getting along with people in real life ?
