EDC Gyroscope Gen2, Stainless Steel, Hand Fidget, Stress Relief, Focus Desk Toy

This is absolutely the best fidget toy EVER. Yes, it's expensive; it's painfully expensive. I've been searching for years for good fidget toys and I have a drawer full of them. This one trumps them all. (This one is also the most expensive, but you know that already) I sort of want to say "it's worth it," but how can you justify spending $85 on a useless toy? I can't. I was embarrassed to tell my wife how much it cost. I wouldn't let my son see it because I worried that he would want one too. You will need to justify it to yourself in whatever way that you usually rationalize unnecessary purchases. I won't bother telling you my rationalization technique, but it worked for me. Still, I feel sort of bad about spending the money. Like, really? Did I really spend that much on a toy?You should know that this is incredibly quiet. I've been taking it to business meetings and I spin it subtly under the table, and you can't hear a thing. And, it looks high quality and professional so you won't be embarrassed if anyone sees it. At home, when I fidget with it, my wife doesn't notice and she doesn't get annoyed. Compare that to the infinite cube, for example--I love that, but it clicks and clicks, and my wife understandably asks me to stop.I've discovered many different ways to fidget with this. You won't have to do the same move, over and over. You can explore and experiment. With a lot of fidget toys, there's only one or two things you can do, but this one has more possibilities than the others.I've had it for almost two months, and there's been no decline, no change in function; it's still like new. It's very solidly constructed--all metal. Nothing on it is flimsy and I'm not worried about breaking. However, if you drop it on a street or a sidewalk, I'm pretty sure it will scratch it and bend it (duh). I haven't used any lubricant; the ball bearings are high quality. I would advise you not to use any lube.Here's a very minor criticism: I'm not a fan of the plastic case it comes with. It's too big and clunky. I've been using a much smaller padded case that came with my bluetooth mouse and that's how I carry it in my briefcase to and from work.Bottom line: I love it. I'm glad I bought it. I take it to work and I bring it home. I have it there when I'm watching TV. If I were the kind of person who named things, I would give it a name.

I read some of the reviews, and I must say, they must have just had bad luck because mine is (WOW) excellent. It has a very smooth spin on all three axes. I have spun all two-axis independently and the all operate smoothly. Great quality and finish. Expensive yes, worth it......not really, BUT I'm a grown man so I saw it, wanted it and bought it. I just have to keep my kids away from it.

I got this in yesterday and the quality is very nice. It was just slightly out of adjustment. When spinning, it made a clicking sound as the inner ring was not fully tightened. This was an easy fix, where I just slightly tightened the nuts on the inner ring and no more clicking.There are bearings everywhere they're needed. The center portion has a bearing as well as the connections from the center to the middle ring. The middle ring also has bearings for the pins coming from the outer ring.It's very smooth.

The only real complaint is I can't get a straight answer from the company on the size of the mini bearings so I can order from someone other than them and explore different quality bearings, they just pointed me to their own site and didn't answer my follow up email clairifying/rephrasing. So that's a bit of a bummer. But, it's very nice. It's pricey but you can get military discounts from their site. Wish I'd realized that before I ordered two but that's my own bad. I love it, my dad loves his. I may order another for my son who wants one. A little cheaper would be welcomed.It does come with the adjustment tool which is nice. And it's a standard bearing in middle so you can swap in other fidget spinner pads for different feel/effects which is cool.It's nice to just fidget with while watching TV or whatever. Oh and I got 7.5 minutes spin time twice on the main r188 bearing! Do recommend.

The outer gimbal pins would spin loose on me and the unit would become unbalanced. A dab of purple lock-tite and some adjustment of the pins with a hex wrench (loose enough to spin, tight enough not to shift and wobble, gimbal centered), and all is just fine. All three axes spin freely and for a long time. It took a whopping 2 min to fix everything. Finish and machining are excellent. It's now my favorite fidget spinner.

Stop looking at it and just go get it! You know you want it and you are going to buy it sooner or later anyways so rip that band aid of because you are not going to regret this.Incredibly well machined with awesome ball bearings. It's a pleasure to look and play with it and will be the envy of your friends an colleagues.

For this price I was expecting a precise toy with no imbalances... then I realized it was adjusted... so I figured i could fine tune it to make it perfectly balanced... after much adjustment I discovered that there is “slop” between the bearings and race and the housing which allows the bearings to bounce around and leads to a vibration and a tick when you spin it... maybe this is just a flaw in the one I received, I guess we will see... the balls in your court

Very, very solid, but not smooth compared to spinners. Technically, this is not a spinner but it really doesn't do much. Might be good for some, but takes 2 hands to manipulate.
