I'd love to get the names of the other spinners you took photos of!

jgsprattThis is from another post I made, with the links to those spinners:
- Phat Boy, Phat Boy Nano, Idler: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShadywoodSigns - Brass Monkey Spinners: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Bottlebib - The Ergo line: https://squareup.com/store/ultraspinners/ - The Dab and its siblings: http://yardwerx.bigcartel.com/ (I have added generic bearing cap buttons purchased on FastTech) - The Falcon, the Maelstrom and the Tsunami; these come recommended as some of the best spinners one can buy; if you buy only one or two premium spinners, probably you should buy the Falcon or the Maelstrom: https://flyaway-toys.myshopify.com/collections/all
The following, I have read about and am considering for the future, but have not ordered yet: - Spinergy: https://spinetic-spinners.com/product-category/metal-spinners/spin-for-a-cause/ - The iFDGT: https://www.venomdd.com/products/ifdgt
Finally, below are the mass produced spinners that I have read about and seem to have very positive reviews. Several of these are essentially the same generic spinners that are purchased by US online entrepreneurs and resold / re-branded with different names in US online spinner and gadget stores; so you can get them cheaper directly from Asia (I use FastTech, but AliBaba, AliExpress, Rakuten, GearBest, etc. also sell these). I believe the below spinners are more or less all sourced from the same factories, and it should matter little from whom you get them (I have several on order, to use as gifts): https://www.fasttech.com/products/6858800 https://www.fasttech.com/product/6837100 https://www.fasttech.com/products/6635401 https://www.fasttech.com/products/6835202 https://www.fasttech.com/product/6837103 https://www.fasttech.com/product/6876100 https://www.fasttech.com/product/7143801
Some of the above are clones of well known - and expensive - spinners. In other words, these are spinners designed to mimic the look and feel of much more expensive ones that have gained a following. The originals' designs are not patented and it's legal to make spinners that look very much like them; it's legal but perhaps morally ambiguous. Ironically, in many cases the clones spin as well - sometimes even better! - as the originals.
Generally speaking, FastTech and these other Asian distributors come up with new models on an almost daily basis; FastTech had 500 listed!
Hope this helps!

BobrazCan you give me your top 3 favorites (use most often) and why (shape/size/feel/materials) ?

awcorvetteI like them all for different reasons, but the top three are:
- Phat Boy Nano: perfect fidgety size, exceptional materials, fit and finish, and not dorky at all. Anyone testing it goes 'whoa this is so cool, I want one!';
- Kong: stealthy, great fit and finish, and the only spinner I dare take to the office. In fact from a bit afar, it looks like you have a coin in hand. Don't underestimate how stupid you look in a 'serious office environment' with a spinner, despite some spinners claiming to be 'executive spinners'.
- Maelstrom: despite the size, perfect weight (because titanium), spins for minutes, perfect fit and finish, and because titanium. This is the BMW M3 of spinners.

StrummAaaaahhhh, you see, it starts with affordable ones, and soon you order $70 or $80 ones. It's like junkies, the next one fix / spinner needs to be even better than the one before!

I miss Massdrop
Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?

Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?

How do I stop renewal of keyboard club?
Hi there, I've been a member of the keyboard club for the past year, I'm afraid that in the next 24h the Keyboard Club will renew automatically. I have checked on my profile but couldn't find anywhere a way to stop it. Did i miss it ? Will it renew automatically ? TIA Mauringhio

Anybody know how much we have to pay in Europe when buying stuff from Drop?
I'd like to buy the Sennheiser 6xx but I have no idea how much is going to be after adding delivery and custom fees. Does anyone know? I live in Spain.

USB-C Port glitchy AF on my Drop SHIFT, arrrrgh help
As above, my keyboard routinely drops connection with my computer; I've tried three different computers, they're not the issue. It resolves itself after being "hard reset" (unplugged), but it's driving me insane because obviously it acts up more when I need it most. All drivers seem to be up to date, any thoughts? (I've also changed the cable, please ppl)
