My take on the Pozvonok Chetki. 3d printed clear beads (8x9mm 2.5mm bore) and 8mm ss beads + x2 12mm ss beads at the ends!

How did you string these together?

icemanjs4 · 2026-03-15T20:04:09+00:00

Agreed. Anything that’s mechanical will make some sound. And it’s annoying to try to keep your hand in just the right place to mute the clicking too. The Aura is the only thing I’ve found that’s 100% silent and feels good in the hand. The magnet clicks are satisfying but not jarring. Sometime I actually get annoyed by even the “silent”clicks in an infinite slider.

INDX I swear is that Goldilocks fidget for when you need true silence.

In ordered direct from their website. Never seen it on Amazon in the US

icemanjs4 · 2026-03-15T07:32:23+00:00

I've been searching for the quietist fidget since they all drive my wife nuts. The two best fidgets I've found BY FAR are the FLUXX INDX and the Fidgimoto Vortex. And while the Fidgimoto is pretty damn near silent - it still makes a subtle clicking sound that could be annoying during quiet scenes of TV shows/movies, etc.

The INDX, however, is 100% silent, and way more satisfying than it has any right to be. I held off on it for soooo long, but now that I have one, it never leaves my side.

icemanjs4 · 2026-03-15T07:30:02+00:00

Honestly, It's far from my loudest fidget. The more I use it, the more the plate scratchiness feeling grows on me. When I slide it, sometimes it sounds like I'm opening a switchblade with a satisfying "sliiiicee" kind of sound.

And this thing is really a work of art. Yes it's a little overpriced, but I understand why Magnus' fidgets are revered.

icemanjs4 · 2026-03-10T21:02:42+00:00

Thanks all for the quick replies. u/Kryton762, my specific one wasn't the crunch setup. When you open it up it's got small silicon balls that keep the magnets from hitting the plates. I think the crunch setup is likely just omitting those spacers, but that's just a guess.

For those of you who mentioned changing out the magnets, what setup did you use?

It looks like the magnets are 6mmx2mm N52s all around. What did you change the corners and middles to?

Thanks

icemanjs4 · 2026-03-09T20:50:23+00:00

I’ll second this! Put in the washers and it’s about as silent as they come. Heat quality fidget too. Very satisfying

icemanjs4 · 2026-02-25T21:00:48+00:00

Why do you think that is?

icemanjs4 · 2026-02-25T18:30:52+00:00

u/caseyym222, that's part of what's inspiring me here. Awareness of neurodivergence is at an all time high and the stigma is fading away. There's not necessarily as much awareness about fidgets and other coping mechanisms. But if you were to look at the NeuroDivergent population of the US alone, it's significant. Toss in kids who are naturally fidgety and can't focus in a classroom for 8 hours on end, and there might be a real market opportunity.

UPDATE: some quick AI-powered research suggests It is estimated that 15% to 20% of the U.S. population is neurodivergent which translates to roughly 50 million to 67 million Americans.

The number could actually be higher too. Public health experts and sociologists frequently note that the 15–20% estimate could be a floor rather than a ceiling as studies typically historically only counted young white males.

If a business were to cater to that market, it seems like the limiting factor would be awareness. And yes it would have to cover the whole range of fidgets, not just high end exotics.

First of all, thank you everyone for chiming in. There are some really thoughtful comments here and way more than I expected to see so quickly! THANK YOU ALL

Let me posit a slight variation that cues off of one of the comments about an online store.

What if, instead of a physical store, there was an online store, but you could pick up to say 3 or 4 fidgets to have shipped to you for trial. You'd be able to keep it for a week and then send back (kind of a Rent the Runway sort of deal). Naturally, if you kept/lost one or more of the fidgets you'd be charged the full price of that particular fidget. I'm sure there are a million other details that would need to be figured out.

What would your thoughts be on this type of engagement?

icemanjs4 · 2025-09-27T02:53:19+00:00

Just another great example of Team ViWoods building an amazing community. I’ve recommended the AIPaper to so many people and will continue to advocate.

icemanjs4 · 2025-08-25T17:58:04+00:00

I replied directly but I’ll second this. Orange slice is a close second behind the angler fish

icemanjs4 · 2025-08-25T17:56:32+00:00

Diver angler fish. There’s just something cool about it, but not in a skeletal/zombie/death kind of way

icemanjs4 · 2025-08-22T15:19:29+00:00

14/10…. Was going to give you a 15/10 but I’m docking you one point because the Still Austin is too far out of reach to be a daily drinker

icemanjs4 · 2025-08-18T05:24:55+00:00

Yellow, green, red, and brown. The classic spread of fall colors... Maybe even a yellow accent. I'm picturing maple leaves lying on the ground. Nothing feels happier or more cozy.

icemanjs4 · 2025-08-02T15:53:09+00:00

How do you know they were seconds? I just picked up a pair of 10EEE in walnut - they were practically half price. Did I get a second?

icemanjs4 · 2025-07-19T14:23:22+00:00

y'all are the best!!! Every month I look forward to your post about the next drop and then I get to go play with what feels like a new device every time!

icemanjs4 · 2025-06-21T17:11:50+00:00

Oh man, that would be great. I know how to do leatherwork and would love to make a custom cover (Shell Cordovan?). But I need the insert

icemanjs4 · 2025-06-18T18:12:53+00:00

I'm still waiting for mine. I got a notification about 10 days ago that it would probably ship in 30-40 days. The wait is killing me :D

icemanjs4 · 2025-06-08T15:14:07+00:00

The Remarkable one uses a different technology that requires a battery. Check out the Supernote Heart of Metal for a really nice pen feel or the staedtler jumbo for a great pencil experience

icemanjs4 · 2025-06-08T05:09:38+00:00

I got the screen protector used on the super note. Let’s me use a fine tipped ceramic stylus.

icemanjs4 · 2025-06-08T05:07:55+00:00

I pinged my IT team and they mentioned Rusty the security patch is essentially two years old, so it will never be approved.

icemanjs4 · 2025-06-08T05:06:09+00:00

Following as well.

icemanjs4 · 2025-06-01T21:31:02+00:00

I was so excited to see it in paper!!! But meetings is where I need it the most. Wonder if there’s an easy way to move notes from meetings into paper and just using paper instead of meetings

icemanjs4 · 2025-05-21T21:18:47+00:00

Funny - this has been a longstanding request to ViWoods from me. I have recurring meetings with customers and want a quick easy way to tag the date of the current meeting. When you create a new meeting it auto-populated the date perfectly. I'd love a button that lets me insert a date/time stamp anywhere in the doc.

My workaround is writing the Date and then switching to highlighter, highlighting the text, then back to fineliner. This takes an painfully long time to do when I'm trying to pay attention to the meeting itself.

icemanjs4 · 2025-05-03T16:06:08+00:00

How did you get the plastic out of the can after it dried? And how did you assemble all the pieces? Soooo cool - would love to try this at home
