WM EDC
20TH — New Version
More than a new look: the updated 20TH introduces an ultra-dense track with an electric, tingling feel. Slow pushes reveal tightly spaced high and low tones, with distinct feedback at both ends and additional magnets that help the mechanism return into position.
LAUTIE
GUMBEATS
Metal chewing gum with telegraph-key-style pressing action. Press, rebound and vibration combine into crisp feedback, while stacking multiple pieces changes the experience. A design that invites sharing.
GD EDC
Bingwu Luck Slider
A new ultra-dense track plate and specially treated damping grooves produce a controlled, tingling glide. Strong return feedback at both ends gives each journey a distinct finishing point.
Dinger EDC
Gem Candy Fingertip Slider
The first product from EDC creator Ding Ge is small enough to wear as a pendant. Its faceted outline recalls a cut gemstone. The blue version offers dense feedback, while the pink version has a long glide; rebound at the end adds another layer of play.
NAYICI
Bone Crusher
A hammer-shaped fidget made for spinning rather than striking. Its stacked dual-axis structure is easy to set in motion, with crisp opening-armor action. Modular compatibility allows oscillation elements to be added for another dimension of feedback.

Editor’s Picks
Some EDC designs stay with you. They may not be the newest, but they remain favorites.
Guest editor: Daji
An EDC enthusiast with seven years in the community, and a creator, brand operator and distributor. His approach centers on candid experiences, practical answers and sharing EDC knowledge and culture.
Yaoxue EDC
Sin
A community favorite
An enduring favorite
Released in 2023, Sin became a popular minimalist spinner and remained a favorite at the time of this issue. It balances tactile feel and speed, with a smooth action and a clear, pleasing hum.
A classic form
Its Möbius-loop-inspired shape is the first design in Yaoxue EDC’s Destiny series, with a form that continues to reward a closer look.
ZZ EDC
Bean+
A first-slider pick
Layered tactile feedback
Bean+ received warm responses from players after launch. Feedback builds through the stroke, then transitions into magnetic attraction and impact at the end, while the overall sound remains relatively quiet.
Tracks and materials
The steel-and-PEI version has a choice of replacement tracks. A zirconium-alloy Bean+ was also announced as an upcoming release in the original issue.
SEKI
LAG
A distinctive feel
An inventive mechanism
LAG combines its sculpted appearance with a magnetic rotation-and-straight-slide mechanism that introduces delayed feedback, offering a different experience from a conventional rotating slider.
A springy response
Removable shells make it easy to change the look. Its buoyant tactile response is paired with careful factory adjustment, so it is ready to play as supplied.
