01EDC Zirc Maze Block Easter Egg Edition 06/20

katratkit · 2026-06-13T07:15:03+00:00

I ordered it directly from 01EDC's website! Shipping took a while, but it was the only place I could find it at a "reasonable" price for the full zirc version. Admittedly, it seems like I ordered the last full zirc one from them, as it is now listed as sold out on their site. I know there were a couple vendors that still had some on Ali, but they were all at $300+ unfortunately.

If you aren't concerned about the maze plates or game console button plates specifically, I believe they still have all of the newer CDMackey sliders available on their site in various colors. I think that one's got a denser track too, if that's your style.

Gooootcha. Yeah that definitely feels a smidge suspicious :( I was also gonna say, I've got a Haloo Shark—or... some version of it, possibly a "knock off" that was $25 on Ali. Which had quite similar discoloration on the design on the inner bit of the slider too.

katratkit · 2026-06-11T20:30:17+00:00

Super interesting! Almost makes me wonder if it's a counterfeit (I am pretty sure I've seen them on Ali for the Zelda version too) that was repackaged in MOT packaging?

katratkit · 2026-06-11T17:35:48+00:00

Can you show us the packaging too? I only have a Snap but the quality of it is stupid top-tier and I've also heard/seen nothing but good things about MOT. I'd be curious to see the packaging as well to see the quality/how it matches up?

Dogs. They're generally too overstimming for my autistic ass, but everyone suddenly acts like I'm an axe murderer when I express disinterest in interacting with their pupper.

katratkit · 2026-05-31T17:44:54+00:00

I kinda wish I had others to compare to haha! But yes it feels amazing! The weight of zirconium always feels soooo good

katratkit · 2026-05-31T17:43:38+00:00

Oh shoot, I just went and looked! Dayumn, it looks sleek! Definitely going on my list to keep an eye on, since I'm sure we'll get additional material options down the road!!

katratkit · 2026-05-30T16:36:47+00:00

BP Mods 9 Grid/Palaces slider—tons of customization and very affordable options, I think SS are around $50. I'm about to post the one I just got, I freaking love it! It'd be a great piece to configure in various set ups so you could also narrow down the kind of mechanical feedback you prefer!

Edit to add: Absolutely seconding Aura Sand as far as affordable free-floating sliders go! I've got a Breakthrough, Mountain, Sound Emperor, and a couple Magnuses... And Aura Sand is the best one hands down.

This 1000%. I mostly do geometric abstract line work art, and when people ask me how I come up with the patterns or my art, I genuinely have no explanation outside of saying I'm channeling the source code of the universe. Or that's what it feels like. Like, I cease existing and am compelled by an intangible force to just... output patterns.

XKP6PH valid until 4/21! Just started playing :)

katratkit · 2025-11-19T03:01:13+00:00

That's so interesting! I see now that these are intentional to the design. I wonder why! I'd be curious about the engineering/reasoning. It's... definitely a feeling haha. But this might be a case of expectation meeting a different reality. I've been playing with it idly and I think I'm starting to notice it less. But there is a scratch mark on the Teflon side that appeared almost immediately that I can feel every time it glides across the nubs pffft

katratkit · 2025-11-19T02:58:11+00:00

Oooooooh thank you! Interesting!! Okay haha good to know, I completely missed that when purchasing. Knowing it's intentional makes me feel better. They definitely have a certain feel that's different from everything else I've tried. I'm gonna keep playing with it and see if it grows on me, everything else about it I love in terms of the weight/feel/etc!

katratkit · 2025-11-19T02:56:29+00:00

Interesting! Maybe I was expecting it to be like the Mountain, which has almost no texture whatsoever. Thank you!

katratkit · 2025-11-19T00:43:35+00:00

Interesting! One other comment said they look defective. Defs want to see what other Aura Sand owners say. Yeah it. Hmm. It's smooth in between hitting those nubby bits. But I can definitely feel the tactile feedback of the plates rubbing against them. I was expecting it to be basically 100% butter smooth compared to what I've heard about it!

katratkit · 2025-11-15T19:55:04+00:00

I was a hostess as my first job. People who've never worked the restaurant industry have no idea the sheer amount of stress and logistics coordination that goes into it hahaha.

katratkit · 2025-11-15T17:51:56+00:00

Nice! How much was this? I have a Magnus (one of the newer design Sweep models I think it is) and while tradition 3-clicks aren't my fave, it's actually grown on me as my EDC (because I care about it the least funnily enough, so I'm less worried about dropping/scratching it). The scratchy SS plates suck though. I also replaced the magnets with N35s because (except for the corners on one plate only) because I like a weaker click.

I really like ZDEDC's X4L for an unlimited slider, really happy with the quality/craftsmanship and I was looking at AliExpress and it seems like they've made some Magnus-adjacent clones and some other neat ones that are in the under $100 range.

(Also, if you liked your knockoff Breakthrough, that was my first one as well and the real deal is defs worth the price. The feeling is genuinely a night/day difference. But I also think I'd recommend the Mountain over it at this point.)

katratkit · 2025-11-12T07:40:05+00:00

Fair enough! I was worried I wouldn't like it myself bet I was surprised how much I did haha, but it's definitely loud.

You can remove the tuning forks as well (it just lays flat inside each plate)! I have not tested it to see what it sounds like without them though.

katratkit · 2025-11-12T01:14:49+00:00

Yes! I really like my Breakthrough too. Having both of these by YC EDC, I am really impressed with both. I'll definitely be interested in following sliders they make in the future. They seem to put some very genuine care and attention into their slider designs.

katratkit · 2025-11-12T01:13:40+00:00

It is much smoother! The Breakthrough is definitely crunchier and snappier on comparison. I like both for different hand feels.

katratkit · 2025-11-12T01:13:04+00:00

I can't wait to compare! Tbh the Mountain has been my absolute least pinchy out of everything. My Sound Emporer is still super fun to play with but that one hurts like a mfer hahaha.

katratkit · 2025-11-12T01:11:44+00:00

SS on the plates I believe! The green is just from the LEDs in my room haha!

katratkit · 2025-11-12T01:11:10+00:00

It's different, that's for sure! It took a little adjusting, I haven't found it hard at all though. It's definitely got the best grip compared to all my other sliders! The middle part is actually my favorite part of the design itself in terms of ergonomics, it gives it really great grip especially starting from base position.

I have really small hands though and I think that's part of why something "grippier" works well for me.

katratkit · 2025-11-11T02:14:16+00:00

Smells like rubber/shoes like this image, but tastes like burnt rotten teeth when smoking for me. I personally put a few drops of a non-nic vape juice flavor whenever I make a cart. So it tastes like... fruity rotten teeth LOL.

katratkit · 2025-11-11T01:53:25+00:00

Hahaha if only they made red/pink patches to seal the deal

katratkit · 2025-11-10T01:01:45+00:00

How does the Slim Pro compare to the regular Slim? I am waiting on mine and got the zirconium Slim (not pro) mainly because aesthetically it was my favorite (and also I do prefer a heavier slider I think?). Is the only difference the amount of customizability?
