These were what I hoped for. I had the green .8mm picks and thought that for some playing I would prefer something a lighter. These are a little more flexible than the .8mm. I compare them to be fairly close to the same as the Fender medium celluloid in flexibility and perhaps slightly softer touch. Before using them, I washed them with some hand soap, and there has been none of the ink come off on my fingers as others complained about in the past.
