GAO STUDIO makes some of the most fun-per-dollar fidget toys in the EDC world. The Chinese studio has built a cult following with magnetic haptic coins, sliders, and desk toys that are affordable, creative, and genuinely hard to put down.
With 20+ GAO STUDIO products in our catalog, we get asked a lot: where do I start? Here's the short version.
Haptic Coins: The Best Starting Point
If you're new to GAO STUDIO, start with a haptic coin. The Magnetic Cube 2.0 is the community staple — quiet, satisfying, and endlessly flickable. The Richcoin series (Richcoin Strong Wind, Rich 01, Rich 02) offers the same magnetic magic in different feels and finishes. These are the products that built the brand's reputation, and they're still the safest first buy.

Sliders: Step Up
Ready for more? The RIFLE 5.0 (and the lighter RIFLE 5.0 Air) is GAO STUDIO's answer for slider fans — crisp magnetic action in a pocketable form. The Ripple Free Floating Slider is the enthusiast pick with its distinctive free-floating plate design.
