Excellent video....really helped in knowing how to make it work right... one magnet is good! Thanks!

[@danielaelmi]

Thank you for this review and the live test! It’s rare to find something really useful among tons of often pointless clips, so I’m glad and thankful you posted this one.

[@xerostyle]

happy to help

I need an one hour loop of this thing

[@drinklifeup]

Thanks for this! Was trying to find a new combo of magnets and didn't think that an odd pattern would work (i.e. 3 magnets) but the clicks are still even, I guess because of the inner magnets. I dig this one.

[@StarbucksBob]

Is the different metal variants referring to the inner lip of the ring? Does it have anything to do with the bearings and feel of the haptics or just visuals?

[@xerostyle]

I believe the inner ring is zirconium on all of them. the other metals are the outer shells. pretty sure all the bearings are stainless. the number of magnets you put in affect the haptics more than anything else.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Dude thats cool! I like how they leave the magnets adjustable. Great video 👍

[@doco8627]

Thanks for the review. I was really curious about this one

[@AmidstCarnage]

love the energy, my guy😊😊

[@zacharydewitte384]

Saw you on that group my hero xero!

[@ianlorayes2787]

urrgh want one!

[@sealedgames1316]

Hey my friend. Did you ever try to put in those Magnets in a Opposite way? So flip the Magnets and put those in 180 degrees flipped?

[@xerostyle]

ive not. interesting idea....

[@edc_driving_me_knucks]

Cool video! Can you remove magnets from the inner ring, that you didn’t remove any from? I’m looking forward to trying 2 & 2. Thinking it’ll click with a bit more free spin! .

[@xerostyle]

i don't think so. just the 2nd ring

[@drinklifeup]

Yeah just tried it and those are not removable. I bet you could do 1 magnet on the outer though and it'd get you close to what you're after.

[@castle6660]

Can you put the outer magnets opposite polarity so the inner magnets repel them? Seem like it would freespin for A LONG TIME that way...

[@TycoTyrannus]

Will a magnet stick to it?

[@xiaoqixi6962]

Somehow I missed the sale, and I am regretting that every time I see a pic of it.

[@LoneWelshDruid]

I think I like, if you spin it slow is it silent?

[@xerostyle]

if you remove the magnets or glue them in it is silent

Hi,An improved version 2 is on its way in April. But, what could be improved?

[@xerostyle]

i believe it was the tolerances on the milling

[@miertjestoer9525]

There also cheeper clones. Are they worth?

[@xerostyle]

i have no idea. clones can be identical or complete cash grab junk. i don't support clones. i feel different about "knock offs" or similar things inspired by the original. but in my mind cloners are just trying to cash in on someone else's ideas and don't care about quality just quick cash.
