ONO Roller Sapphire - (The Original) Handheld Fidget Toy for Adults | Help Relieve Stress, Anxiety, Tension | Promotes Focus, Clarity | Compact, Portable Design

I'm not diagnosed with anything but thought I'd look for something sleek and minimalistic to occupy myself with during downtime / during work. This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for out of a product. It's compact enough to go in your pockets, definitely silent as described and rolling it does feel like massaging your palms. The hand motion becomes second nature once you get used to it, it's satisfying in its own way. There's a nice weight on the aluminium version and the overall experience is like using an over-engineered toy in the best way possible. The only thing I feel the need to give a heads up about is the screws. At the time of posting there doesn't seem to be any FAQ response immediately available on the ONO website or much explanation of public forums. You get two 3mm hex keys included with the box. The screws are applied on what can be described as a threaded shaft for both rollers which turns independently from them, and [the screws] are thread locked (i.e. an adhesive coating has been applied to the screws to prevent them from loosening unintentionally). Practically this means the said shaft has it so turning one screw on one side makes the screw on the other side turn with it unless you have the other side secured, also preventing unintended loosening from using the roller. These are excellent measures against loosening which users of knock-off brands report about. Mine came in the box a tad loose on one side already. Let me say I've never fought screws *by hand* like I had to in order to tighten them here before, because the only way you can tighten or loosen them is to have both ends held down otherwise the screws won't turn independently of the shaft at all, and it's thread locked. The thread locking adhesive is definitely solid. I'd probably suggest using power tools instead of hands to tighten or loosen the screws because using the provided keys caused them to strip the screws when trying to do so by hand and it took all of my strength to remotely get them to budge - but once they do budge, they are significantly easier to turn from then onward. This is to be expected, since thread locking adhesives being tampered with usually requires a new coating to be applied. The moment force you apply (if looking at the screw from the top down) should cause the screw to rotate clockwise if you want to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen. If you're still unsure, take your right hand and make a thumbs-up with your thumb pointed in the direction the screw face is facing; imagine an arrow pointing from your back knuckle (big ones) to front knuckle (the ones rings go over) for which way you should turn the screw to make it go where your thumb is pointing. The way I had to set the keys up to tighten was sticking the key on the top screw pointing to my right, sticking the second key on the opposite screw at the bottom pointing to my left, placing the bottom key against a solid surface and pulling the top key towards my body as hard as I could to tighten them. I would probably recommend to do it counter-clockwise to loosen first, as loosening the screws is a lot more likely to be easier to do in order to get rid of the thread lock coat first WITHOUT stripping the screw before it loosens, but I'm not sure how durable the screws are given mine have stripped quite a bit- I don't mind it, but other people definitely will. Long story short, the only way you're loosening those screws is if you have both ends held down with the keys and enough moment force is applied to turn them, so don't worry about the thread lock coating if you ever need to tighten or loosen the screws. Do the thumb trick and turn the screw accordingly, recommend you loosen first instead of tightening straight away. Yes, at first they may not budge at all, I train four times a week and I had to use nearly full strength to get them to turn at first. Probably would suggest getting a power tool to do the turning for you. Final note that even if you do decide to turn the screws and affect the thread lock adhesive, those screws aren't loosening from using the roller afterwards unless you have both ends held down with the hex key bits, don't worry about them, they aren't going anywhere. Pricey, but worth every penny. Don't get the knock-offs. Hope the information about the screws helped anyone who needs to tighten, loosen or disassemble the roller. Long read, but better safe and informed than sorry in my book.

I have 2 of these now. The larger adult one in aluminium and this ‘plastic’ one. I love both of them. I have quite large hands for a woman but I do think I prefer the junior size as it just sits more comfortably and I’m not hesitant I’m going to drop it. These are quite weighty toys and extremely well made. The mechanism is extremely smooth and easy to turn. The aluminium one is too cold for me to use straight away. I need to warm it with my hands first so for me that’s a bit annoying. Once it’s warm it’s fine to use. The plastic one feels more like a warm rubber also there is no actual give in it as rubber would and I much prefer this texture. It’s smooth but warm, hard to explain how nice it feels. Hopefully someone will understand. They are quite pricy but the quality is just spot on. Would be nice to have a roller ball or something at the ends to fidget with when I want to use my fingers.

ONO make the best silent Fidgets on the market they are so well made plus they all have their own pouch. This roller is expensive but it’s feels so smooth and weighty it gives excellent soothing feel to it but it is also silent does not annoy other people in close proximity. I love this one the best now have all 3 sizes each have a different feel..

I never normally do reviews but after taking this thing out of the box, I can't put it down. I got the abs plastic version because I wear rings on both hands and figured that a metal one would make too much noise. I find the texture alone on this thing is addictive. It feels really smooth especially after using it for a while because it warms up. You don't know you're holding it and the action of rolling in your hand becomes the norm, but at the same time takes your mind off of things. The quality of workmanship is perfect. There are no sharp edges or screws protruding which makes it comfortable however you hold it. The size is discrete and nobody would know you were holding it if maybe in a business meeting or busy environment.

You may be reading this wondering if it is worth the money. The ono roller (in my opinion) is my favourite fidget toy. It is comfortable to hold, it is fun to play with, it absorbs the cold and it feels like a massage. I would recommend getting one although as you may have seen other reviews talking about this, mine came with a small dent on the top/bottom. It makes it feel weird and loose so I have to turn it the other way to enjoy it. Overall I would definitely recommend this product because it is extremely fun and I dont even notice when its in my hand. Even though it can come with a dent sometimes, if it is that distracting you could ask for a new one (im not sure how it works) . Thanks for reading.

This is a solid, quality item which looks attractive & feels great in my hand. The metallic cover feels smooth & the mechanism ensures it moves smoothly as well. The neoprene pouch it comes in also has a lovely sensory feel & smell - I play with that almost as much as the roller! It also comes with a couple of tools for tightening the bearings when they get loose. It's more expensive than most fidget toys but everything about it is such good quality that I'm totally satisfied with my purchase. I bought the sapphire-coloured version & like how it looks, although being new to fidget gadgets, I feel self-conscious while using it & feel a black one would be more discrete somehow; as if it would draw the eye less than the blue one does. I really wanted the silicone version as I love the sensory feel of silicone, as well as its smell (almost as much as neoprene!) but I was put off because these have to be ordered directly from the USA instead of a UK supplier. And while I got the full-size version, which fits in my hand perfectly, I suspect the slightly smaller Junior version would be easier to handle, so I'd probably go for one of those next time. And there will definitely be a next time.

Good quality, quiet fidget toy that is effective. Well designed. Would definitely recommend.

The item itself is high quality, but you would expect that for the price. However I don’t really enjoy this fidget and I find it more of a chore to use. If you’re thinking about getting it, consider what kind of stimulation you like. If you enjoy repetitive hand movements, like rolling a pen between your fingers, this might be perfect for you. But for me, it’s too dull. I prefer fidgets that are more tactile and engaging.
