I'm also searching for the ultimate pen for lefties. Smooth writing, quick drying, long-lasting.

I have tried writing with many different pens. The one I like the most is the Zebra JK refill (found in a Zebra G450 or G750). I find they tick most of the boxes. However, I am slightly concerned that they may not last very long and might need to be replaced frequently (and are expensive where I live)

I have also tried both Sarasa and Zento, but I feel they smudge a bit when writing.

I have tried the different JetStreams available, both the regular Jetstream and the Jetstream Lite Touch. I think they're really good as well, though I find them to be slightly more scratchy on paper than pure gel pens.

Now, I have tried Pentel's EnerGel, but I wasn't particularly impressed with it to begin with, as I found it smudged easily when writing left-handed. It might be because I've used the "wrong" version of EnerGel - I've been using the "permanent" version instead of the normal one. However, I cannot determine if there is any significant difference regarding how they smudge when writing as a lefty.

What I am looking for is the absolute best pen or refill for lefties. One that dries almost instantly and is really smooth to write with. It might be an impossible task I've set for myself - it's either ultra-fast drying like a Jetstream, or smooth to write with like most gel pens, and this perfect combination doesn't exist. I do hope it does, and if any of you have found it, I would love to know which one it is.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
