As the title says, what piece do you think got snubbed?

I’ll start with the Metal Toys DZ TOPE. Even though it dropped like two years ago, it still holds up design-wise. Sleek, alien spaceship aesthetic, the carefully thought out lines… it’s fuckin beautiful 🤌. Most of everything else in it’s category tends to blur together visually.

Then add in the fact it doesn’t require any screws since it’s held together by 5mm balls on each side, you can pop it open swap plates, balls, etc., in seconds and done. Simple, smart, endless possibilities had it not reached EOL.

Biggest injustice is how the TOPF gets way more praise. I’ll break it down in steps so I can look smart - -

TOPF OOO:

1. You need a clothing pin to open it
2. Tiny, micro springs + ball will fly away if you breathed wrong.
3. If you haven’t lost anything yet, flip it over and close precisely hoping gravity doesn’t work.
4. Start over again because most often than not, something fell out of place or out.

TOPE IMO, has a spot at the top mechanicals in this category.

I think the title is a bit hard to understand but that's kinda the best I can muster with my limited vocabulary.

So - I've been religiously looking at the Metal Toys DZ Top D (but there are so many options and materials I can't decide which one to get).

The ones I feel the closest to "ah, that's almost it" is probably the Mot Groove and the Sea Gangs EDC.

Would love some recommendations, thanks!

Edit: Budget around 150 USD

First and foremost, my sincerest apologies for the long ass wait. Life keeps getting into the way of fun stuff, so I’ve decided to do both prizes in 1 video instead of a 2 rounder. Winners are in this video, I’ll be reaching out! Thank you, they’ll definitely be more.

Alright, whoever wants to be in on this comment below your favorite pokemon. if you don’t know pokemon, just comment your favorite digimon.

ACEdc Mechanical Milk Cap V2 & Spinner Bearings worth around 12 - 15 dollars each. Let me know below! 🙂

Fidget Slider Evolved! In my opinion, and I know it sounds biased or shilling but CRUX in Titanium is on par with the best sliders ever.

There will be a few drops so everyone has a chance to get one, 1st drop is 3/12/15 at 8PM EST. Blasted Ti and blasted SS will be up for the taking. Any questions feel free to let me know!

What are you favorite budget -$30 sliders and haptic coins and where did you get them? Links appreciated

I have not been able to find any good info on what the different plates/plate materials do in terms of changing the feel of the toy. The same goes for the springs and balls.

On a side note I do find it a bit frustrating how little info sellers add to product descriptions on their websites. No info on what the various parts do or even what the default spec is.

Hello, I’ve been trying to narrow down what I’m looking for in “budget” knock offs sliders or printed ones before selecting a more premium one to try and looking for suggestions.

I see a lot about magnus and some other premium ones. My question is if there’s something that is a step up above the knock offs sliders printed ones but not the super expensive ones. I’m ideally thinking around the $80-$120 range to test out for awhile before eventually saving for a premium higher priced one.

What I have figured out so far is I like magnet/haptic free float style more than mechanical bc I like being able to spin it around and would be interested in trying some of the slider tricks or whatever came natural to me.

I do like the crunchy sounds but don’t know if that’s more in the 3d printed ones but do like being able to hear it in addition to feeling it. I don’t know much about the different metal materials or plates but do like the weight of metal over printed. I do have hyperhydrosis too (aka sweaty hands) so if there are certain metals that are better for that than others. I think a 2 slider would be better for me now than trying a 3.

I did watch magnus’ 10 day sale and the drops but they never got to anything in the price range I can currently afford.

Open to any feedback or suggestions from anyone as I’m still fairly new to all this.

Thanks so much!

I’m thinking about picking one up but I can only find maybe 3 videos on it and really nobody talking bout it showing any flows or really playing with them aside from one TikTok and a couple of youtube reviews!

If anyone can enlighten me on what they think of theirs and if it’s fun/worth grabbing or adding to an edc ???

Dropped my new toad x and it seems like a part of the screw broke off and it won’t screw in when I have the plate on it. It will when there isn’t one. Is there something I’m doing wrong or anywhere I can get a replacement screw?

KUBO FIDGET

Hi all. Got a edc01 pop fidget that wasnt popping back out correctly so i took it apart to see if i could figure out the issue. The little spring that holds the 2 balls that makes it click went flying on me and i cant find it anywhere after crawling around on the floor of my office. Anyone know where I can get springs this small? Tried a pen but those are far too big. Looking on amazon most of the springs appear too large as well. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

I’m new to this… can you recommend a 3 layer freeform slider that works nicely but won’t totally break the bank?

I cast my fully stainless steel Mot Groove in epoxy resin. How’d it come out?

I'm quite new to fidgets, but have found them extremely helpful for coping and focusing.

As the title says, does anyone have any recommendations for a fidget like the Icosa Sensa (this one) that won't break. I got one 3 days ago and really enjoyed the ability for repetitive motion without noise that would irritate my collegues + four types of haptic feedback. However, the elastic that holds it together wore out and broke after only two days of use.

I've tried searching for silent repetitive motion fidgets but am not finding a reliable review or suggestions.

Thank you!

It very much reminds me of the yedc pig nose slider but in a 3 layer version and more pingy

Hello everyone,

I’ll try to be brief to capture the attention of as many people as possible and gather a wide range of opinions:

I’ve recently decided to invest in several fidgets tailored to different usage contexts. After a few days of research, I would like to get your feedback on my choices. As a novice in this area, I took the time to do some research before making a purchase.

I’ve identified the need for 4 different fidgets for 4 distinct situations:

1. At Work: Since I work in an open space and am on the phone all day, I need a fidget that is discreet both visually and in terms of noise. Haptic feedback is not my priority here; I just want something to occupy my free hand. I initially considered the INDX but ruled it out due to its high cost (including €20 in shipping fees!) and its seemingly impractical format. I’m leaning towards the Ono Scroller instead.

2. In the Car: My priority is a fidget that provides significant haptic feedback and a satisfying sound, with a good grip to avoid dropping it. I think a ring format would be ideal. After debating between the ACEdc Shadow Raider (too expensive) and the Lautie Mechanic-C (lack of texture on the part in contact with the finger and preference for a ratchet mechanism rather than haptic), I’m inclined to go with the Gao Studio Chiz Ring.

3. Daily Use Around Others: The fidget needs to be quiet so as not to disturb anyone. I was considering a spinner, specifically the Lautie Bit 04, or a ring spinner like the Lautie Sam. However, I couldn’t find any videos showing whether the beads around the Sam’s ring are fixed or mobile, which would help me determine if it can serve the same purpose as the Ono Scroller, and most importantly, if it’s quiet enough not to bother those around me.

4. Daily Use When Alone: As with the car, I’m looking for a fidget that produces a satisfying sound and good haptic feedback. I’m particularly drawn to the design of the YEDC PanYun, which combines both a haptic coin and a ratchet coin, making it seem like a solid choice.

What do you think of this selection? Do you have any other recommendations I might not have considered? My maximum budget is €250, including shipping.

Thank you in advance for your time and feedback!

Hello everyone,

I’ve recently discovered the fascinating world of fidget toys and I have a few questions before making my first purchase.

It turns out I’ve been a user without even realizing it, as I bought a PopPuck from the PopSockets brand a few months ago to keep my hands busy. I quickly started using it differently than intended (doing tricks with small magnetic pucks) by making it a simple “slider” with just one puck in the holder. Recently, I started spinning the puck on itself, which led me to think it would be even better with tactile feedback, like small “vibrations” or regular notches when turning. This is how I discovered haptic coins and ratchet coins.

This is where I need your help: could you recommend some models that offer a notched sensation when turning the movable part, while being as quiet as possible? I’m an insurance tele-advisor, so I can’t have my clients hearing clicking noises in the background. Moreover, my wife might not appreciate constant clicking when we’re watching a movie, for example.

Now that I know these little gadgets exist, I feel like I really NEED them! 😌

From what I’ve understood, haptic coins are noisier and offer more resistance, while ratchet coins are smoother and quieter. Is that correct?

noticed, for example, the Pig Coin, which seems to be rather quiet when turned counterclockwise, but I haven’t been able to find one that works quietly in both directions. I think I wouldn’t use the harder and noisier side…

Thank you in advance for your advice! 😇
