Review on Kicko Magnetic Fidget Rings Classrooms by Roberto Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fun similar to spinners but mostly quieter

It says 6 but it's actually 2 packs of 3 of these magnet rings. Both sets I received consisted of 1 blue, 1 orange and 1 green ring. As a grown man I don't remember my ring size but they are about the same as I probably have thin to medium fingers and could slide them all over the ring. Fingers with some effort to get them. For children, there is probably no worry about getting stuck on a finger and getting stuck. They are quieter to operate than spinning a spinner very loudly when sharing a work or study space. However, you may still need to be mindful of others clicking due to their magnetic attraction and then being heard together. In strict comparison with a spinner I'm missing something where I personally feel like spinners when I have to give them a lot of movement/spin in my hand. While you can tie 3 or more chains together and twirl them around with a finger, I would caution against doing this with only very gentle force. When 3 are connected together, it doesn't take much rotational force for them to accidentally separate and send 2 other rings somewhere. The back of the box shows some other ideas for play or fidgeting which I think are cute of them. To be surprised, they didn't show it in their main product photos. For the price and considering you only get 6 and can gift a 3 pack or use all 6 I think it's a fair price. It just seems like they're somewhat lacking in the fun of playing with them (maybe not a very strong magnet) or the haptic feedback you could hope for where I couldn't give it a 5/5, but I found that 4 always is still fair for what you get and I might recommend them to some of the people I work with who like to play or play around while on the phone or working on assignments.

Pros
  • Magnets and magnetic toys
Cons
  • Negative impression
