1. I’ve been using these on this Quartet melamine whiteboard: Quartet® Standard Dry-Erase Board, Melamine, 36 x 24, White, Aluminum Frame

   Pros:

   - Bright, opaque colors that show up very well, even the aqua & pink

   - Eraser-tipped caps are handy

   - Pretty colors!

   - Erase completely even after a few weeks

   Cons:

   - Eraser-tipped caps means that you can’t just put the cap on the end of the marker when you’re using it – not a big deal, but I’m forgetful enough that I could easily lose track of it.

   - Caps require more force than I expected to put on tightly. A plus is that it’s easy to tell when the cap isn’t on all the way – the cap color is extended on to the marker itself, so you’ll see white if the cap isn’t on.

   Notes:

   - Tips are a little thicker than a fine-point Sharpie and deliver a line that’s more than sufficient to read from a few feet away, or in a medium-sized conference room, but may be too thin to read in a classroom environment. Certainly too thin to read in a lecture hall.

   - For those whose monitors are not doing a great job with the picture, the colors offered are: blue/black, pink/purple, red/orange, aqua/green.

   - Check your board to confirm that it’s magnetic – I assumed, and was disappointed. I had to play with them on my friend’s whiteboard instead. The magnets on these markers seem to be weak, but they’re more than strong enough to keep them from sliding around on a vertical surface.

   Recommended. I’ll buy these again.

2. Nice markers for the price, plus it’s extra handy that they just stick to the board!

3. I’ve had these for a few months and have used a few colors. They remain attached to my board all the time and leave no marks because the magnets are recessed into the plastic.

   This is a great fundamental, as other magnets with direct magnet-to-board contact have left marks.

   Overall, I’ve only tried 2 colors and the erasers as I’ve only needed 2, but both were better than the stock markers given to me with my board.

   Good stuff, hope it lasts, I don’t use colors enough to tell you how long it might last, but the black one has been doing well.

4. I was pleased. I keep them in a small recycled box in the pull-out section of my desk, rather than sticking them to the board itself. This way I can ensure they lie flat. I use them to color-coordinate my assignments so that I can do it at-a-glance, rather than jotting it down in a notebook planner and forget to look.

   The points are actually thicker than I wanted them to be, but they are still sufficient. Not fine-point, I’d say medium-point, similar to writing with a corner of a lightly blunted chisel marker. The colors are fun and not offensive.

   The erasers are really great for being able to fix mistakes or swipe off a task as soon as I’m done, and I use them often. I will update if I start having any problems with them; there are some colors that have begun to resist a bit.

   Thanks Board Dudes!

5. I love them they stick onto the fridge above my weekly calendar and it is convenient that the eraser is there for you like a pencil. The only con that I find is that if the magnets are not completely aligned they fall off the fridge.
   Colors are bright and nice.
