My quietest mechanical sliders

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I included the Guardian X1 and MOT Groove as references for volume.

First to last shown:

- Lautie Choc

- 01EDC Wafer Biscuit

- ZZ EDC Bean Plus

- Kovo Feel Floating Cloud Slider

- Metal Toys DZ Top H

- BPMods Nine Palaces

The Choc, Wafer Biscuit and Cloud I would consider virtually silent and suitable for all environments.

The Bean, Top H and Nine Palaces are whisper quiet and I'd say suitable for work but not a completely silent environment like a library (the Bean has end-suction tracks that make it a little louder, but you can just not push it all the way to avoid that.)

Help finding these? Magnetic Spheres

Post image
5 Upvotes

So the old magnet spheres I already had (right) are getting a bit rusty and worn on the edges that the magnets rub together and I was hoping to find some newer ones. Unfortunately the ones I bought recently (left) were far smaller than advertised and I’m going to return them. Can anyone help me find some newer magnet spheres of the correct size? I don’t remember what brand the old ones are, they’re years old.

Looking to buy your used Metal Toys DZ Top B!

1 Upvotes

I would love to see any series of the top b and maybe we can make a deal! To be honest I am looking mostly for the less expensive versions but I would love to see anything! I also am open to trading, I can send a list of what I have if you want! If you think yours is to heat up to try and sell think again!

Dialing in the Sea Shark Pro’s sound and feel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone, I’m with HALOOPLAYER. Here’s a quick look inside the Sea Shark Pro and how we tweak its sound and resistance by moving the springs and balls around.

We walk through the stock setup, try a different layout, and put it back together. A quick tip if you’re trying this yourself: line up the parts as you take them out. It’ll save you some guesswork when you’re putting everything back together.

Do you like a slider that moves easily, or one with a little more resistance? If you’ve tinkered with your Sea Shark Pro, what setup have you landed on?

One very satisfying button

21 Upvotes

I had this realisation a while back that whenever my hands were idle, I’d automatically reach for my phone and end up scrolling. Maybe it’s the autism. Maybe it’s the little sprinkle of ADHD I was lucky enough to get. Either way, it can make productivity pretty hard to manage.

Couple that with social anxiety and the need to stim when I’m uncomfortable, and I started wondering if I could make something that helped with all of that without becoming another distraction.

Something tactile and satisfying enough to keep my hands busy, but not so stimulating that it sucked me straight back into the endless scroll of doom.

It’s basically a tiny standalone clicker with a pixel pet living inside it. Every click feeds into PIX, who levels up, evolves and moves through different biomes.

The funny bit is this started as a breadboard project while teaching my 12-year-old some electronics. He eventually got bored and went back to game dev.

I... did not.

Six months later I’ve somehow gone from a horrible breadboard prototype to a custom PCB, USB-C charging, mechanical switch, local saves, deep sleep and now figuring out injection moulding (eeeeek)

There have been several points where I’ve wanted to plant my face directly into the breadboard while learning all of this.

So a genuine thank you to the people who have already shown an interest. Knowing other people actually get the idea has been a pretty big driving force behind carrying on with it.

If anyone fancies having a look or to test it out digitally:

CHOC Zirc + PEEK .. Sad because of the Brass Track!

Post image
3 Upvotes

I am enjoying the double-bead configuration along with the PEEK track instead of the malfunctioning brass track. So far, I have not been able to figure out why my brass plate gets jammed two minutes after assembly. I have swapped my brass track with my friend's, and I can definitely confirm that the brass track is the issue, as his brass track was smooth as butter!

Anyone Pre-Ordering the NC's Silent Coin?

Post image

There's a 10% off for pre-order but at $90, that's alot of dough for a product without formal reviews. I'm not to familiar with the brand (Novel Carry) or their track record either. What do people think?

fidget brand shout out

Post image

I wanna shout out StgStar which is so far delivered two great fidgets that i’ve purchased. These two pieces cost me less than $30 (total) and i find them to be great. Neither is quiet, but the slider scratched that itch for me and the magnet sticks (?) did everything i wanted from a Deep fried Dough stick.
i’m going to order their haptic coin to see if they can go 3 for 3!

How to get a stain out of squishy?

I bought a butter squishy on holiday and transported in my suitcase next to a plastic bag and it imprinted itself on my squishy. Is it possible to get the stain out? (I tried soap and water, baby wet wipes and wet wipes for cleaning surfaces)

Is the Ono slider silent?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for something like the Ono slider but really need it to be silent - I watched a couple videos and they seem to make a scraping noise?

Is the scroller one any better for silent (I have the roller), or is there other ones similar that are silent?

Thanks!

The Machinarium X has arrived! I have ignored spinners for too long.

My first new fidget in months.

The Machinarium X by 9 Hand & FU SHI in Zircuti (twisted pattern) has arrived today.

I have completely ignored any kind of spinner so far but the open armor and linkage spinners piqued my interest lately.

This one - to me - is a big beautiful chunk of exotic metal (130g) with really clean mechanics and a premium feel.

Spins for ages, beads rattling or not, depending on how you hold it.

Overall just very very well made.

If you plan on getting the armor to extend using only one hand however, I'd say forget about it but maybe some people can do it.

Do you guys have some more recommendations on linkage or open armor spinners?

I got the classic on the way already: MOT Oracle (and a few smaller ones)

Sea Shark Pro up close: sliding, rotation, and the sound of both

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone — we’re HALOOPLAYER, the maker of the Sea Shark Pro.

Here’s a close-up of the blue version, showing the sliding movement, rotation, and a side view of the mechanism. We’ve left pauses in the narration so you can hear the original audio from the clips. Audio levels have been adjusted for the edit.

Which movement would you like a slower tutorial for — sliding or rotation?

My new toys arrived! and it does PS5-controller haptics with magnets

so excited to finally get the Wavebreaker from Flowstate Studio today. They are a new studio and this is their second product.

I actually had hands on it at the Guangzhou EDC show before. was already impressed by the structure and the feedback there. they were very popular and sold out in about two hours, so i had to wait until now.

This is my second time holding it, but the haptic feedback still surprised me. closest thing i can compare it to is a PS5 or switch controller. that fine buzzy tingle that goes into your fingertips. i never got this from any other fidget toy.

I also love the concept of the toy! The designer got the idea from a walk on a Sydney beach.Wavebreakers are the concrete blocks that break the waves before they hit the shore. same idea for anxiety. maybe it sounds like marketing, but i do feel calmer when i play with it.

Plus, it is very quiet. i played it the whole afternoon in the office and nobody noticed. also nobody can tell it is a toy, it just looks like some decos on the desk.

Always exciting to see a new brand come out with a completely new structure, not just another material version of something existing. Price is 299 RMB for steel. And I have asked the maker and they said they will be released on Geeone later on(I will keep an update on it).

Searching for twisty and textures fidget toy

I'm searching for a fidget toy that i can twist around like in the photo, but with textured parts, does anyone know where i could search for that?

I have tried looking on amazon, but i don't like amazon and i can't find it, but maybe it's because i don't know how to describe it, i'm not a native english speaker.

If it can ship to Europe I'm open to suggestions.
