I went to the shop yesterday and I bought a packet of 3 Hybrid K118X. I thought they were technicas but they weren't. They were Hybrid Gel Tintenrollers.

Here's a pic.




The good thing about them is that you get 3 for 1.2 US dollar (regular HGGs here cost 1.45 US dollar each). The grips and ink of these ones is also shiny and they write very nice. They are exactly same as HGGs besides the cap that is mostly useless.

Bad thing: I'm not sure but here they are only in red, blue and black.

Thanks for the heads up, Ivan.

I'll let you guys know what stores they're in, in the US.
Once I can get out to a bunch for pens later this week, that is.

Those pens are not new.

In France we can find both (k118 and k118X) at the same price (1.60€...expensive)

sounds pretty good i dont think they would release them in the us though if they are very similar to the hgg because the hgg is no longer sold here
