So I've had them a few days...

I really like these. The guitar just seems easier to play using one...my hand is less tense since they are easy to grip and they glide effortlessly across the strings.
It really does seem to have a slight effect on tone. It isn't drastic, but the different picks can make your attack softer/harder/darker/brighter.

My favorite is the screamer, and I'm getting used to the small pointed.
The large rounded is great for chording, but anything else it sorta feels weird, kinda like how MM said I felt disconnected when using it.

My only complaint is that they are easy to lose. All picks are easy to lose...but these are $4 each. Them being clear does not help, as they are hard to spot once you do drop them.
I'd like to try a few more in thicker gauges...I thought the standard ones would be too thick, but I think I could go even bigger.

Do they slip easily? I always have problems with regular picks (though the Wegen 7 is so big that it's hard to let go).
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

I think they grip pretty well...better grip than my dunlop tortex or fender delrins for sure.
