PopPuck Magnetic Fidget Toy, Trick Magnet- Day Trip | Fidget Toy, Perform Tricks & Flips, For Adults & Kids, Fidget, Toy, White

This was my first one and I really like it. I'm not very good at it LOL but I play with a lot of magnet fidgets and I'm very good with dexterity so it's just learning curve. I will say I like how it attaches and detaches from the included keyring however I have found myself keep looking to see that it's there and hasn't fallen off. Because I have it hanging on my belt with a couple keys. And actually it's a good thing cuz today I was at a store for 3 hours and when I got to my car I realized there was only one Puck on my thingy and I had to go back I was nervous and all worried I don't sound stupid but you know when you're trying to learn something it's the only one you have. Long story short I found it these are a lot of fun just be careful to not lose them

Update after a while. It still works very good. The magnets have not gone. Any less powerful. They’ve not gotten scratched up much. They do sometimes fall off a little bit easier after a month but they do still work very well. I just think they should make it a little bit more compatible with two cause if you have one it’s good, but if you have two you could do more tricks than I thought you should be able to do more with one. I feel like it’s a very good Troy. I just wish they would make the pop a little bit better. I recommend this Product 10 out of 10

This is one of those toys that looks simple but ends up being way more fun than you’d expect. The magnetic click when the pucks snap together is super satisfying, and once you start learning a few tricks, it gets kind of addictive. It took a little time to get used to the feel and timing, but now I find myself picking it up constantly. What I really like is that it’s not just mindless fidgeting—you can actually practice and improve with it. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but that’s what makes it interesting. It gives your hands something to do, and it’s way more engaging than just spinning something in circles. My kids love it too, which says a lot. We’ve got a whole basket of fidget toys and this is the one everyone keeps grabbing first. The build quality feels solid, and the magnets are strong but not too strong, so everything snaps together cleanly without feeling stiff. Great for keeping your hands busy during calls, breaks, or even just while watching TV. Definitely recommend it if you’re into fidget stuff or want something a little more fun than the usual options.

Okay, let's get this out of the way: PopSockets kind of screwed the pooch with their marketing for PopPucks, because this is *not* a fidget toy. Yes, it can fulfill similar needs, but only after you've practiced with it for hours. This is not a fidget toy like most others that you'll find, where you can just pick it up and relax while manipulating it. This is a dexterity toy (which, thanks to the strength of the magnets and their lozenge-shaped gulpability, is probably only appropriate for teenagers and up). If you are the type of person who will happily sit there for hours flicking playing cards into a hat simply because you want to be able to do it well, you'll probably love PopPucks. If you're looking for your next fidget spinner...maybe not so much. That said, I personally have loved playing with PopPucks so far, because I *am* the type of person who will devote hours of time to getting decent at a stupidly specific physical activity, and enjoy doing so. The good stuff: * Overall design and build quality is very nice. The base fits perfectly into my hand, it feels solid (without being too heavy), and the magnets are nice and strong without being so strong that you can't manipulate the pieces. * The pucks are lovely. Really vibrant colors, and a nice size; not too small, not too large. (I got the "Day Trip" variant; will probably pick up an expansion pack in case I lose a puck, but honestly I don't find the illustrations very appealing. YMMV.) * The clicking noises it makes are wonderful. But then again, I'm the type of person who uses a mechanical keyboard because I love the click. The people around you may not appreciate it to quite the same extent. * The primary action you'll be repeatedly performing (the "magflip") has a pretty satisfying level of difficulty. I've only been playing with it for a couple days at this point, and am getting pretty consistent swaps without losing a puck (that is, a proto-magflip; pressing down on the top magnet and getting the two to swap positions, albeit not usually with a "flip"). I anticipate I'll be able to do small flips pretty much on demand with maybe a week of on-and-off practice. And the downsides (aside from the off-target marketing): * Particularly when you're learning, you'll drop a lot of pucks (or maybe it's more accurate to say you'll "launch" a lot of pucks, because the trouble is using too much force, not too little). Fortunately, you just need to swipe the thing close to the puck and it will snap back into place, so it's not hard to pick them up. But they tend to land bottom-side up, and since it's matte black that can make it difficult to find them. This is the main reason I don't classify this as a fidget toy: you can't take this out of your pocket and play with it wherever you want, because you'll lose all your pucks faster than you can say "MagFlip". * These magnets are *strong*. That makes for a very satisfying toy, but it also means that you can't stick this in your pocket with your credit card unless you don't mind never using your credit card again. PopPucks are for home; not so well-suited to travel. * There are not "hundreds of tricks". Go watch the videos of "tricks" that PopSockets has published; they've got 5 MagFlip variants, and...flicking a puck at the base like a soccer goal? Which is not a trick, and certainly defeats the purpose of a one-handed dexterity toy. Sure, there's fun stuff you can do (I really want to figure out a way to flip the puck around onto the base where it will hang onto the other side of my finger), but you need to realize you're buying this to do MagFlips, not because it will make you popular at parties. * Random "booster packs" don't fit well with this toy. I can't imagine wanting more than 1-2 extra pucks and would much rather pick the ones that I like. It's particularly bizarre given that you can buy the base toy and choose which color and pucks you want out of the gate. Lastly, based on my experience with PopPucks over the last couple days, one of the things that can make it a little easier to start feeling good about yourself is to start with a single puck. You can do the exact same action as a MagFlip (pressing down on the near edge of the puck while pushing it up against the top lip of the base), and it will cause the puck to either flick upwards on top of your thumb, or do a flip onto the top of your thumb. The trick is not pressing too hard, because if you do you'll launch it (just like for a magflip). However, the benefit is you have more control with a single puck, so you can get a feel for the amount of force that's necessary. Another thing that has helped me is to press with the ball of my thumb when working with stacked pucks (instead of the tip). I'm not certain why this has improved my control, but it gives me a noticeable improvement as I'm still learning the amount of force and angles that work best (it also lets me chain mini-flips together, which is probably the most satisfying, fidgety activity I've found with PopPucks so far); and you'll note in all of PopSocket's videos they are using the ball of their thumb, probably for this exact reason. Lastly, if I wrap my index finger around the top edge of the toy (or cup my other hand around there) that decreases the number of times the puck goes flying off into the room (drastically decreases it when cupping my other hand around the end), probably because it gives an additional little level of buffer and redirects the puck backwards instead of letting it rocket off the top. Finally, some general advice: use a lot less force than you think you need. It doesn't take much to send the puck flying, so your early goal is to get a feel for the bottom end. You can always scale the force up for fancier flips once you've got the basic puck-swap and single flips in your fingers. Good luck!

One of my favorite fidget toys! Addicting once you get the hang of it!

Yeah I broke down and got one. I wanted one since they came out but didn’t like the price on them at all so I refrained for awhile. Still don’t like the price especially on the replacement pucks, but saw a small sale and felt I needed something to fidget with (so I don’t break my phone case slide cover lol) so I broke down and tried it out. Figured I could give it to my nephew if I didn’t enjoy it. I like a good fidget toy and they help distract me from bad habits or to help soothe anxiety. This is pretty decent for the way I hoped I could use it. I don’t jump them or anything as I guess they’re intended to be… also don’t want to lose the pucks… but I feel I’ve gotten close to $15 out of it and still use it from time to time. I would probably be able to give it 4 stars and would even buy another if they weren’t so pricey. I think $10-12 makes more sense with a little better deals on the pucks. Hopefully they can get closer to that after the novelty wears off. Also felt like the design choices were lacking, especially for the high price and the focus on “collectibility”. Idk just my two cents, it’s a fidget toy… not much to say.

Switching the pucks is more entertaining than I imagined. I need to get better at flipping them because they end a bit too often in the floor but they are fun nonetheless. Its appearance is the most eye catching among the fidgets I have.

Absolutely love these things! Tricks start happening absent-mindedly once you play around with it enough. I love these things so much that I almost want to work for the company! You can expect that i will make some YouTube video reviews in the future! Pro-tip: Series 1 Booster Packs are only $3.00 through the official poppuck website at the time of this review. You can also purchase puckpacks containing two uniquely themed pucks that are only available for a limited time. I unfortunately missed out on the Waterbear/Noob combo. When you get enough of these things you can take them apart and mix and match them to your desire based on color schemes and Puck themes. I had fun coming up with little themes for each of my Puck bases and Puck combinations. I hope you all enjoy the photos and the brief demonstration of tricks! I've seen other reviews saying that the magnets are weak or that the pucks get lost easily. In a way, both of those statements are true. But the magnets are not meant to hold something to your refrigerator, and they are not meant to be used for such purposes. They are highly calibrated magnets that are designed to be used for this toy so that you can do all kinds of fun little tricks! It's a fidget toy that's multidimensional because of the amount of different tricks you can do with it, and the way the magnets perform with each other. It's a well-designed product, and I hope it spreads more widely and becomes available in local toy stores. I've already been trying to get a toy store in Whittier California to start stocking these. If you work for the company, reach out to me, because I've got some great ideas for how these things can be used, and different games that can be played with them.

思ったように楽しめない まあ商品に問題がある訳ではない

Perfect!

جودتها ممتازه طالما انها من براند Popsocket رهيبة لكن تحتاج وقت اتعلم عليها، القطع اللي فيها معرضه للضياع لكن كل ما شافها احد علي الا يبغى يجربها

I love it just can’t figure out how they pop them up and catch them again but love fidgeting with it.

Love this one. I'm a fidget-er and use it when I'm talking or thinking about things. They're also a cool little toy to play with when bored. I would say tho, the pucks are really easily lost if you're performing tricks so when you do, remember to stand in a clear area. I love the design, colourful, portable and relatively durable thanks to the smooth plastic on the bottom of pucks. I do think it's worth the money if you use it often or fidget toys in general, but if you don't, don't bother. 20 bucks for a small trinket isn't exactly something I would pay for it. (unless of course you have extra cash to spend)
