FIDGET LABS EDCCheap vs Expensive Fidgets: Is Premium Worth It? | (Beginner Series)

What the video covers
Cheap versus expensive: the same slider in three materials at three price points, compared on weight, sound and feel.
The verdict
The comparison uses a G10 plastic version, a titanium one and a zirconium one. Weight changes how the slider moves, and material changes the sound: zirconium is more muted, titanium higher pitched. Neither is better, it is preference, and the cheaper one is still enjoyable to use.
