I was never the kind of person who would bother to carry a fidget toy on me every day. As much as I like them at home, I'm someone who likes to carry as few things as possible. But when I got the Bean, I decided it wouldn't really be carrying anything else if I just clip it to my keys... So that's what I did. So now I have a little fidget on me no matter where I go 🙂

Do you guys carry a fidget every day? If so what's your daily carry?

Ultra-dense plate/track, dual-bead slot, stiffer springs, 3mm ceramic balls.

It's extremely quiet (I boosted the volume of this video by 40x), but so satisfying. I love zipper-style sliders.

I just wish Lautie would make ultra-dense plates in brass, since I'm not a fan of the peek aesthetically.

Bought my first fidget toy in February and my wallet hasn't come up for air since... Can you tell I like mechanical sliders? Lol

I had the Ding Jia before I got the Bean, and I always thought it was so small, I wasn't expecting the Bean to be so much smaller. It really is crazy tiny. So I figured maybe someone else could use a visual comparison between the two. Also included some sound tests :)

I was fiddling with my 9grid and put it together without any balls or springs and it actually makes a super satisfying skate slider lol.

I just received the POD-L, and the first thing I noticed, along with everyone else, is the loose tolerances causing the whole thing to rattle. I wouldn't normally mind that, but the problem, at least with the zirconium model, is that they've opted to put a metal center piece in there. Which means every time you pick it up, you get a horrible metal-on-metal rattling noise.

Luckily, they seem to have clocked on to this, because it also came with a replacement teflon center plate. When I opened the Geeone package I was wondering why they sent this, but as soon as I picked it up I realised lol.

So immediately, I opened it up and changed it to the teflon. I also replaced the stainless steel balls with black ceramic ones, and now the whole thing sounds and feels so much nicer. No more horrible metal rattling sounds.

Overall it is a pretty nice slider, I just don't understand why they ship it in such a horrible state, but luckily it's super easy to get it up to scratch.

Also: please ignore the heavy breathing, I've managed to catch a cold lmao
