The Uni-ball R:E (pronouced “are ee”) is an erasable gel pen sold by Uni in North America. It’s the standard pen in the R:E series of erasable pens, which also includes multi-pens and pen sets. The R:E’s erasable ink is thermo-sensitive, which means you don’t actually need an eraser to erase it, you just need to rub something against the paper until it gets hot enough to make the ink disappear!

Uni R:E+ 3-in-1 Pen Set
The Uni R:E+ (known as the “R E Plus”) isn’t one pen, it’s actually three pens and a holder. It’s a cool concept that is fitting for Uniball’s highly designed RE family of erasable pens. The set of pens was first released in June 2019.
The pen set comes with a plastic case and has one black erasable pen (the color is closer to grey), one red erasable pen (closer to light red), and one black Jetstream pen that is not erasable. The R:E+ case includes a metal click with an adhesive backing.
Note: This pen is only currently available outside of Japan by buying through Amazon Japan.
Uni SXR-600 Jetstream Ballpoint Pen Refill

Prior to this refill being available the SXR refills were rollerball-style refills with a proprietary shape. The SXR-600 not only adheres to the G2 standard but it moved the Jetstream refills to a shorter, twist-compatible version with a metal body.

The Jetstreat RT (known as the Jetstream Rubber Body in Japan) is a variant of the Uni Jetstream Standard ballpoint pen. The pens both use the SXR refill, but the RT has thicker body with a rubbery grip along the entire outer surface.
The RT also has metal components — namely the front cone piece and the clip. The top button looks to be metal but is actually plastic.
The RT BLX series is part of the RT series. The name is a result of the blended colors the RTX pens use, like blue black, red black, and green black.

Uni-ball Signo 207 Premier Gel Pen
The Signo 207 Premier is, as the name implies, the premier version of the standard Signo 207 retractable pen. What makes it in interesting pen is that the pen keeps a lot of what the 207 pens great, but includes a thick rubber grip which is quite squishy and oversized. This is one of those love-it-or-hate-it features that will make the Premier a great pen for some and a terrible option for others.
