Best Fidget Slider Brands (2026): 10 Makers Compared

How we put this together

Fidget sliders don't have household-name brands. They have a few dozen makers, most of them small, and a handful of retailers that carry the Chinese brands without their own Western stores. This page covers ten brands that sell sliders through their own official store, checked on September 28, 2026. Every location, price and product fact comes from the brand's own pages.

We didn't score or rank them. A $12 KOMO and a $500 Magnus aren't competing for the same buyer, so we grouped brands by type instead. If you want specific models rather than brands, see our best fidget slider for adults picks.

Price bands below cover sliders that were in stock that day, not accessories.

Brand comparison

Collector machinists

Magnus Fidgets

Magnus's founder writes that he lives in New Zealand, is originally from Scotland, and frames the business as a fight against "sub-standard, mass-produced 'stuff'" (Magnus). The catalog is a stream of numbered pieces; on the listings we opened, TA models were titanium and ZA models zirconium. In-stock sliders ranged from the $247 TA-320-L Turtle "Phase" (listing) to the $507.89 Exotic Custom EX-016-E Sidewinder (listing). Collaborations also appear at retailers, such as the $479 Magnus x URBAN Inverse Turtle at Urban EDC (Urban EDC).

Buy here if you want a high-end magnetic slider and are fine with pieces that come and go. Our zirconium slider guide breaks down several current Magnus ZA pieces.

Small workshops

Bruce Charles Designs

Bruce Charles sliders are "proudly designed and made in Dallas TX, USA." The brass Micro, for example, is CNC machined from a single piece of brass with magnets press-fit and no adhesives (Micro Dual-Strength). The range runs from the $39.95 two-piece brass Micro to the $99.95 Robertson in copper (Robertson Copper). Several versions were sold out when we checked, which is typical for a one-shop maker.

Buy here if you want US-made brass or copper at a sane price. Our brass fidget slider guide covers patina and care.

Novel Carry

Novel Carry calls itself "a two-person shop based in Charlotte, NC," with Steve machining in-house and Derrick on product and customer side (Novel Carry). Its Tile family runs from a $12.99 3D-printed Mini Tile, "designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA" (Mini Tile), to the $219.99 titanium Echo Ergo, which is "precision machined to our spec in China" and assembled in the US (Echo Ergo). The Echo platform takes swappable slide plates, so you can change the feel without buying a new body.

Buy here if you want one system you can start cheap in and upgrade over time.

Natrix EDC

Natrix says all its products are "designed and manufactured in-house in Lithuania in small production runs" by a family-run business whose founder is a mechanical engineer (Natrix). The signature is a single 46 × 16 × 9 mm flat slider offered in polymers from $60 (listing) up through brass, copper, titanium and zirconium at $160 (listing).

Buy here if you want to pick the material and keep the same shape.

Kickup

Kickup describes itself as "a team of product designers and marketers from Ukraine" working in titanium (Kickup). In-stock sliders ranged from the $59 aluminum Slider Triangular (listing) to the $129 Cerakote titanium Slider Square (listing), with oddballs like the Game Boy-inspired, three-level Slider Boy at $79 (listing). Extra buttons in several textures and finishes cost $9 to $15 and fit the Slider 3.0, Triangular and other models (buttons).

Buy here if you want titanium under $130 and like customizing the thumb surface.

Makers and builders

MuxlowMakes

Sam Muxlow designs, prototypes and tests products in his shop in San Diego and documents the process on YouTube (MuxlowMakes). The range runs from $17.99 Polar Pals (listing) to the $56.99 Nux Brass Edition, which can be fully disassembled to rearrange magnets (listing).

Buy here if you like supporting a single maker and want something tweakable.

FidgetThings

FidgetThings is the parts-bin brand: S.O.B slider parts from $3 (listing) and $10 3D-printed bodies for building your own (bodies), plus the $180 TacTile V5, a two-slider set with a non-repelling magnet layout so every side attracts (listing). We couldn't find an about page, so we can't tell you where it's based.

Buy here if you'd rather assemble than unbox. Our how to make a fidget slider guide pairs well with it.

Chinese studios and brand stores

LAUTIE

LAUTIE says its studio was founded in Kunming, Yunnan, in 2017 by craftsman Yangman and designer Niko, with "a high-precision machining factory owned by ourselves" (LAUTIE). Its best-known slider, the mechanical Choc, spans $12.90 to $289.90 across materials, and the X-Lock 2.0 and Frog start at $129.90 (LAUTIE sliders). LAUTIE sells direct and through specialist retailers.

Buy here if you want detented, mechanical sliders rather than magnetic glide.

JZEDC

JZEDC's about page describes a store that sources products "from reputable manufacturers and suppliers," and it also sells a line of JZEDC-branded infinite sliders (JZEDC). Prices run from the $35 Matrix (listing) to $329 for the zirconium Damascus version of the JZEDC @ slider (listing).

Buy here if you want infinite sliders and zirconium shells without collector pricing.

Budget metal

KOMO EDC

KOMO says it keeps pricing "approachable so customers can try different styles without making a large first purchase." The store is operated by a Hong Kong trading company with US orders fulfilled from a US center (KOMO). Sliders run from $12 for the Magnetic 3-Layer (listing) to $76 for the Mixed Black Rabbit (listing). KOMO is unusually clear about sound: the Black Rabbit page says "It is not a silent slider" (listing).

Buy here if it's your first slider and you want to learn what you like cheaply.

Where retailers fit

Several names you'll see on retailer shelves, such as MOT, Mackie, Chenyu, Wanwu and DJG, didn't have an official English-language store we could verify, so they aren't in the table. You'll find them at specialist retailers such as MetaEDC and TRB Creation. Three things to know when buying that way:

• Check the variant, not the listing. MetaEDC's MOT Mix page listed eleven versions; several, including every zirconium one, were sold out when we checked (MetaEDC).
• Watch for pre-owned. TRB Creation sells new stock like DJG's Spirit (TRB) alongside pre-owned pieces, such as a zirconium DRIVE marked as pre-owned (TRB). Read the product type before you pay.
• Collaborations live at retailers. Urban EDC's Magnus collaboration is only sold there.

How to choose a brand

• First slider, unsure what you like: KOMO, Novel Carry's printed Tiles or MuxlowMakes.
• Brass or copper: Bruce Charles, Natrix, MuxlowMakes.
• Titanium under $130: Kickup.
• Mechanical clicks and detents: LAUTIE.
• Collector piece: Magnus.
• Building your own: FidgetThings.

Whichever brand you pick, the click is set when the slider is made. echoPi, which is in development, is built around clicks you can program, with seven real clicks as a design target. It isn't for sale yet, so it's not in the table; join the list if you want to hear when it is.
