Fidget things

[Tatters]

@Daveya, I have just bought the KAP Horizon Zirc from you, and it came yesterday - thanks for the quick delivery. Having not used a spinner before, I think I am hooked; I used it when I was working yesterday, and I had the most productive coding session for a while.

I think I might get the BlackCloud Orbit Haptic Coin too.

I am not sure how overpriced these things are - the more expensive ones are precision-engineered artefacts, and have their own mechanical beauty. Tactilely, the KAP has a lovely, smooth spin, and easily unscrews into three pieces - something else to fiddle with. I might get some SS balls for it, but it is $20 shipping from China for 4 at $1 each.

No need to get another bearing, I've bought a few and compared to the KAP bearings and they are clearly very good. Imo , if its smooth, leave it alone. It really is a premium spinner though, as you say lovely tactile thing to hold and fidget with . I only sold because I have the Tri on the same version and it's what I use most

I don’t think we are talking about the same thing. The KAP you sold me certainly spins very smoothly so I am very happy with that. I see KAP also sell add-on 8mm balls https://www.kapedc.com/product/8-mm-balls which go into the gaps in the spinner - another thing to fiddle with (which is good).

Ah yes I have 6 of those in my tri

Another one joining the slipper slope.

We’re those bearing prices from KAP? I got quoted $3 each and am awaiting shipping costs.

Having tried other bearings, I really like the ones used by KAP, we could order together and split the shipping cost? Given at £5 each from a UK supplier the bearings have not been this smooth.

Let me know if you fancy it.

Ah I was talking bearings not balls.

Although I just got a quote of $35 for shipment, ouch! Still happy to split shipment cost if you wanted.

Thanks, sounds like a great idea!

Be interesting to see your postage quote if you added 4 bearings to the mix.
