We study the subset in a unital $C^*$-algebra composed of elements $a$ such that $aa^{\dagger} - a a^{\dagger}$ is invertible, where $a^{\dagger}$ denotes the Moore–Penrose inverse of $a$. A distinguished subset of this set is also investigated. Furthermore we study sequences of elements belonging to the aforementioned subsets.
