What are Speks?

Magnetic Putty without the Mess!

Made from rare earth, neodymium magnets, Speks magnetic balls are possibly the most popular desk toy ever made. Speks are like magnetic putty, a stress ball and adult building blocks all in one. Mash them around for oddly satisfying stress relief or build a shape to unleash creativity. The action used for these is quite similar to squishing Blue Tac or putty. They are not tacky but satisfy the senses in a similar way for most.

Helpful to know

The colour coating can wear over time and may wear more quickly depending on sweat, hand sanitiser and soaps. Some users may also notice a blackish residue. This does not affect function and is not considered a fault.

Great for at work home or study. Come with a magnetic plate to keep them on and also a small storage cube for in the pocket.

  • THE ORIGINAL AND BEST: 432 perfectly crafted miniature magnets meticulously designed for maximum fun. If you’re in need of a desktop distraction, an office status symbol or somewhere to store your nervous energy; we created Speks for you.
  • BUILDABLE, MASHABLE, SMASHABLE: Build, mold, sculpt and engineer endless shapes and satisfying structures. Then mash ‘em all up and start over again! The only limit is your imagination, flex that flux and show us what you can do.
  • SMUSH STRESS, CRUSH ANXIETY: Bring a dose of zen wherever the day takes you. Super portable and delightfully distracting, Speks are perfect for fidgety fingers. From our office of socially awkward award winners to yours, we’ve got chillin’ down.
  • MUCH MORE THAN MAGNETS: A case to carry your calm, a base to support your magnetic masterpiece, a guide to get you goin’ and a handy splitter card for more advanced endeavors are all included with your Speks.
  • AGES 14+: Keep away from all children. Magnetic flux index less than 50.

What do you do with Speks?

Mash Speks for Stress Relief.

Speks are like a magnetic putty, without the mess! Due to their 2.5mm size and low flux rating, these mini magnets mash around and are oddly satisfying to touch.

Build for Focus.

The Specs.

Size: 432 x  2.5mm magnet balls

Material: neodymium rare earth magnets

NOTE:
We’ve found the colours wear off over time, especially as it’s hard to put these down lol, however it doesn’t affect the function or usability. It appears to wear off quicker with some hands also, due to varying chemical composition of sweat, hand sanitiser, hand and dish washing soaps used also etc.  They may also leave a blackish residue for some.  This is not a fault and is not covered under warranty.  

Speks are made from the rare earth element, neodymium along with some iron and boron. First they’re shaped into mini spheres, then they’re coated with a metal plating or polymer paint, and finally they go through the magnetizer. It’s cool - one minute they’re just ball bearings and the next they’re magnets. Magic.

Are Speks Safe?

Speks meet all toy and safety standards and are safe with proper use by anyone over the age of 14. their magnetic flux index rating is less than 50, however, Speks should never be put near or in your nose or mouth.

Are Speks illegal?

Speks have a magnet strength of about 90% less than those magnets and were not part of the ban. Speks are fully compliant with CPSIA Safety Standard for Magnets 16 CFR 1262.
  • ASTM
  • EN71
  • CPSIA
  • ages 14+

WARNING: Keep Away From All Children! Do not put near or in nose or mouth. Swallowed magnets can pinch and stick together across intestines causing serious injury or death. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed or ingested.  Speks are only for use with ages 14 plus.

    This was a gift for my daughters birthday and when it arrived we were surprised at how small it was, we thought it would be the size of a rubix cube but it’s only slightly bigger than a dice. But we now know that’s what makes it’s amazing! We have all played with it endlessly, it’s come everywhere with us, we all love it! It’s endless fun! We now have to buy one each 🤩🤩🤩

    I loved these when I first got them (around 6 months ago). The yellow colour wore off right away, then the other colours started wearing off. Now I can't use them because they leave my hands black! I would have expected them to last longer for the price.

    Absolutely love these beads; they're completely addictive. I'm a multiply neurodivergent mental health professional and I have a set of Speks available for clients to use in sessions as well as a set for myself. Adults and kids can't get enough of them! My only gripe is that the yellow colour rubs off very quickly - I had read that the colour wears off over time but didn't expect the yellow to have all but disappeared within a couple of days of use. Doesn't detract from the tactile qualities of course, but takes a bit away from the awesome visual stimminess of the rainbow colours.

    My daughter separating all the colours after playing with them and mixing them all together.
    I got these for her for Christmas to help with her Year 12 studies this year.

    I so hope they support her! Please wish her all the best for this year! :) JO

    Awesome product. Love that it comes with a stand allowing for creations to be bigger and better.

    They are way too small. Impossible for small kids to play with. The photos used for promotion are VERY misleading. Waist of a lot of money.

    the videos literally show the produxt size in hand, we also have very clear info on sizes, sorry to hear you didnt read those but we go to great lengths to be clear. also note these are the only magnets metal balls that pass safety laws in Australia. should you buy larger ones (on chinese sites) you are putting lives at risk as there have been deaths in an Australia, thus almost all banned.

    Great product but alot smaller than expected

    I love this fidget, but it just wasn't great value for money. After only a couple of days of use the paint/colour started to chip and come off and was found all over my hands. Also smaller than expected.

    These are the only legal size avail in austraila. All larger ones banned which is why we go to great lengths to explain that in description and show photos and videos in hand. The price is related to it being a USA product, the exchange rate a killer eek. Id say something on your hands may have accelerated the paint wearing off (sanitizer or detergent for example) but it does eventually happen to all (as mentioned in description) - hope you continue to find helpful though. theyre one of my favs :)

    I bought a set each for both of my kids and they’ve played with it heaps! The small, compact carry box means they can take it out with them (they’ve used them at restaurants instead of watching screens) and are a go-to toy at home. It’s been wonderful watching their creativity!

    These are excellent and very pretty. Such a great tool to either enjoy the tactile aspect of mushing in your fingers and mixing the colours and playing with the magnetism, or to get stuck in the details crafting shapes and patterns. So satisfying! A nice quiet stim.

    My 9 year old purchased this for his birthday and is been a hit ever since. He loves the small case which means he can't lose the balls. The instructions for making new shapes and the feel of the product in his hands. He was very clear that these were the "better" ones because of their small size. Delivery was quick which made him even happier.

    Express Post orders are sent via Australia Post. Please refer to the Australia Post website for delivery time frames.  For items larger than Australia Post limits we use a range of courier services. 

    Do you ship internationally?

    We ship to most destinations around the world.  There are some set up for flat rate shipping. 

    Please note that charges do not include any duty/taxes charged by your country's port authorities (if applicable).  You will be responsible for any charges they may add.  We are unable to quote these as they vary immensely from country to country. 

    If you country isn't setup for flat rate shipping please email us a list of the products you are interested in and your shipping information /address to jo@kaikofidgets.com and we can provide you with a quote.

    If your order is over 135 pound (approx 260 AUD) then we can ship and you pay the VAT on its arrival.  Unfortunately orders under this amount are way to complicated to manage as we have to charge all the fees our end.

In this case, VAT and duties are remitted by the importer. If you use registration-based taxes and have a UK VAT registration, then VAT will not be applied to your sales to customers in the UK. If you choose to, you can charge your customer for VAT and duties at the time of sale, and then provide these funds to the shipper or importer using a shipping label. Alternately, you can send the orders without charging VAT and duties, and your customer will pay extra funds at the time of delivery.
