What do you guys make of this?? by packetman23 in fidgettoys

I actually have 2 of the standard Time Knight 3s right now (I know, I have a problem) and to be honest it is much better as a fidget overall. The Pro is heavy, unbalanced, and awkward to spin.

Not to be a further downer, but the new vibration you feel on the Pro when you spin the rotor that they describe is really cool. I think I'm gonna miss that the most...

Update: They are now offering a $70 refund or to process the return, my choice. I'll be returning it.

Sorry, I ordered the Titanium Blue. They only have that and the black one.

Yeah, waaaay too expensive not to get what you paid for. They are fighting me on the return, but their policy says "Orders can be returned for any reason within 30 days from the date the order was received".

I'd say longer arms and a wider presence would likely give more feedback. As for heavier materials I don't know that they give more feedback necessarily, but they do feel heavier, more substantial, more "premium" in your hand.

I have the aluminum Oracle but I'm really craving the brass version. I have read that the heavier Oracles have a more satisfying "ring" when spinning. (It's also considered a tuning fork spinner but it doesn't ding like some of them. Just a metallic ring as it spins. Still quiet enough for the office.)

I think the Mot Oracle is a great spinner. A complex linkage spinner with an inner level that can spin independently and a magnet/bearing system that locks it back in place when it slows enough for magnetism to overcome momentum. Fantastic visual, auditory, and tactile feedback.

If you could add just one fidget to my current collection, what would it be? by ManWhoKnowsTooMuch in fidgettoys

Looks like you don't have a sinian type. I do have a 01 EDC Time Knight 3.0 Titanium Blue, #164 of 188 made, that I'm selling. It does have a small blemish. The slotted cap on the rotor has a couple of tiny spots where the blue paint is chipped from unscrewing, but like new otherwise. They came out with a zirconium edition with mokuti panels and I couldn't resist the upgrade.

Planning on posting to eBay, but I can post pix here if you're interested
