FIDGET LABS EDCSOB 3D printed vs SOB Slick aluminium
Same maker, same idea, different material. The 3D printed sliders are the configurable, lower cost way in and are loud as standard. The aluminium Slick is the metal version; its review covers the magnet setup in detail.

SOB 3D printed
There are options for most budgets. This build used an aluminium cage to keep cost and weight down, with the pro stainless steel plates. With the right magnets they are fast. The standard setup is loud, which is not ideal for work; a different click setup made it quieter. Overall a positive experience.
SOB Slick aluminium
The slider was opened and the magnet setup checked before filming so that a setup could be recommended. It was being enjoyed after the first days of use. The designer was working on a cage better suited to fancy play.
