Fidget sliders: reviews and buyer's guide

A fidget slider is two plates that slide over each other, held and stepped by magnets or a mechanism. Magnetic fidget sliders snap between positions, mechanical sliders use ball bearings and detents, and floating sliders glide freely for tricks.

If you are looking for the best fidget slider for you, the reviews below cover metal fidget sliders at every price, from budget picks to titanium and zirconium EDC sliders.

What to look for

  • 2-click or 3-click. This is how many steps the slider has. The beginner guide below explains the difference in under six minutes.
  • Material changes everything. Aluminium is light and bright sounding, stainless and titanium are heavier and deeper, and plastics like PEI and Ultem are quieter and warmer in the hand.
  • Floating sliders are a different thing. They are made for flowing tricks, called fancy play, more than for clicking.
