MagButton™ Fidget - A new class of button. Patent-pending magnetic fidget.

A new class of button. MagButton replaces the spring inside every button you've ever pressed with magnets. The result isn't just a click, it's a snap. Clean, sharp, and honestly one of the most satisfying tactile sensations I've ever felt. I machined the body from solid aluminum and anodized it. Out on Kickstarter + full Youtube video explaining the story behind the mechanism.
