What Is a Fidget Clicker? Keyboard Switch Fidgets Explained

A fidget clicker is a small handheld toy that clicks when you press it. It gives restless hands something quiet and repetitive to do during a meeting, a phone call or a long drive.

Why a keyboard switch?

Many of our clickers are built around a Kailh Box White switch, the same kind of clicky switch used in mechanical keyboards. It gives a sharp, consistent click and springs back the same way every time. The printed shell around it (a macaron, an egg, a mushroom, a skull) is what makes it fun to hold and look at.

How they are made

Each clicker is 3D printed in several parts in Fargo, North Dakota, then assembled by hand around the switch. No batteries, nothing to charge. Some designs, like the boiled egg and fried egg, also use small embedded magnets to hold the halves together.

Who they are for

Adults and teens who like a desk toy, gamers, keyboard fans and anyone who clicks pens in meetings. They contain small parts, so they are not for children under 3.

Flexi figures: the other kind of fidget

If you would rather bend than click, our articulated flexi dragons, gecko and octopus are printed in place with every joint already linked, so they move straight off the printer. Browse all fidget clickers and flexi figures.
