PopSockets PopPuck Starter Pack
A fun magnetic trick fidget that rewards practice more than idle fiddling.
We bought Fidget Toys Adults Metal Fidget Slider Magnetic EDC Haptic Fidget Toys for Adults. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. No metal slider from a known brand had readable coverage, so this is the closest well documented magnetic thumb fidget from a known brand at a similar price.
The short version
- People who like skill toys as much as fidgets
- Anyone wanting a magnetic fidget that clips to keys or a bag
- Gift buyers looking for a known brand
- You want a weighty metal slider with crisp haptic clicks
- You need a fidget you can use without looking
What owners like
- Easy to start, hard to master, which keeps it interesting
- Solid feel and strong magnets
- Fun for both kids and adults
Common complaints

What it does
A pocket sized magnetic fidget and trick toy: two magnetic pucks that slide, stack and flip in a magnetic bowl with a removable clip. This page covers it in place of the unbranded metal fidget slider, which had too little readable coverage.
- Slide one puck back and forth for basic fidgeting
- Shuffle and stack two pucks
- Flip a puck into the air and catch it in the bowl as a trick
- Clip attaches it to keys or a bag
- Collectible puck designs
A good pick for someone who wants a magnetic thumb fidget that also rewards practice, with tricks to learn beyond simple sliding. It is closer to a dexterity toy than a quiet, mindless fidget, and it is plastic rather than machined metal, so buyers who want the weight and click of a metal slider should look elsewhere.
