If you are thinking about getting a fidget clicker/slider, this is the one to get. Magnus fidget sliders are currently the best in the world. You can click and slide in multiple ways, not to mention the grooves and ridges on the slider act as a worry stone. The craftsmanship is top notch and it is reasonably priced too. Some sliders costs alot more and yet can't even separate the plates. I currently owned 3 sliders from magnus and its worth every penny.

AGREE 100%. Just got a toad from a reliable seller and it's unbelievable. Truly world class craftsmanship. Can't wait to see what else he designs!

Possibly the dimples give room for the stuff that gets in there to go instead of just always grinding into it. This cleans it and makes it run smoother (on top of the less friction as you mentioned). Neat.

@AtilioEscobar3 жыл бұрын
@@Bradmhj I’m pretty sure it is the most popular one. The most unique looking slider in my opinion. I’ve had mine about 2 weeks now. And yes. I love it. And it really is super satisfying. The magnets 🧲 are strong, witch is what u want, so the pieces don’t fall off too easy. Only downside is sometimes debris gets on the plates which makes it feel scratchy, but just use some packing tape on them to pull it off. Go for it b4 they sell out!

I don't really think it's overpriced, it is expensive but for this to be worth his time he has to charge something, it's not like the materials he uses are cheap by any means. You can see he puts a lot of time into RND aswell, so you're really getting the best of the best. $250 is expensive, but expensive things tend to be expensive if that makes sense lol
