Helico: The World’s First Helical Gear Fidget Toy
Precision engineered with a unique herringbone profile, Helico delivers a ton of torque into the palm of your hand.
Helico has everything you could want from an executive desk toy; magnets, interlocking gears, bits that spin, striking visuals that intrigue the eye, and a gear you don't see outside of sports cars and hydroelectric dams.
Why Have We Created Helico?
We set out to create the ultimate desk toy. Injecting as many awesome features as physically possible, then stripping out anything that was overly complex or straight up didn't meet our stringent fiddle criteria. What's left are the best elements of every fidget toy you've ever owned. Bold, but we think true.
When you get bored of spinning, why not try some gear fiddling? Or maybe some new dexterity tricks? Failing that, you can annoy your colleagues with some clicky magnet action!
Who is it For?
Made for designers, engineers, thinkers. For anyone who wants to just take a moment to focus, relieve stress, or just play around.
Helico is easy to fiddle with but difficult to master!
We're constantly coming up with new tricks and ways to play with it.
New Material
The biggest visual change with Helico MK2 is the new sleek black material innovation. Our bespoke outer shell is made of Polyamide Nylon 12 which we have 3D printed to an incredible tolerance.
This new material means the Helico MK2 is more tactile, more satisfying and more mesmeric than ever. They’re more resilient and surface friendly; as users of the MK1 know they are often dropped (or flung!), so this will prevent dents and dings in your furniture.
Magnified Magnetism
You spoke, we listened. One of the loudest requests from the original version, Helico MK2 incorporates two magnets instead of the previous use of just one. It makes Helico MK2 far more resistant to coming apart, allowing for greater freedom of expression and a wider range of tricks.
Keeping up the high-quality you expect from us, the gold inserts are made from a High Tensile Brass that house two neodymium magnets that will last a lifetime.
Two Unique Designs
We weren't satisfied to bring you just an updated model, so we've gone one step further to give you a complete re-design to choose from or add to your collection. Thanks to our material innovation we've been able to mould Helico with a new form.
Herringbone
The classic look, a helical gear with a herringbone profile which interlocks with ultimate precision.
Spur
Named after the gear pattern we know and love, with a deep groove for those users who want an even greater tactile experience. The overlapping points provide an intense feeling through your fingers, giving you a full-on fidget feel factor.
Packs
Double Pack - Two sets of Herringbone or two sets or Spur.
Crossover Pack - A set of Herringbone and Spur each.
Ultimate Pack - Two sets of Herringbone and Spur each, for the metal mad magician.
Geared for Perfection - Why Herringbone?
The humble herringbone is designed to interlock unlike any other gear.
They engage and roll easily in the palm of your hand without the need of any fixed axis, so you can appreciate the mesmerising motion of the gears meshing together unlike anything else you can hold in your hand.
The interlocking gears present a whole new dimension for focusing your mind and testing your dexterity, while the tactile feedback keeps your mind focused on what's important.
So What's the Deal, Why Does it Cost This Much?
We like to go with the unusual at MetMo and, much like our EDM Cube project, Helico is no exception. To achieve the mesmerising meshing of Helico we opted to go for state of the art 3D printing for the outer shell, precision machined HTB1 brass inserts, and neodymium magnet cores. Each one handmade here in our Yorkshire workshop, these premium materials come together to create satisfaction in the palm of your hand.
Making Helico MK2
Check out the video above to see the making of a Helico brass insert by hand. Machined from solid brass in our workshop, this prototype was the first step of making Helico MK2 a reality.
Well machined, precise fit and strong magnets make this a great piece of kit. Well done!
The Helico MK2 is a handsome set of magnetic cylinders full of sound, feeling, and fun.Stack them to play with their polarity: do flicks and flips accompanied with satisfying clickity-clack sound effects.Or mesh the magnetic herringbone treads to spin horizontally- producing a subtle haptic buzz that travels straight to the brain for a pleasant stream of dopamine squirts.
Tactile, rhythmic fidget tool with lovely feedback from 🧲 forces. Two are good, 4 even better. Reluctantly I gave two away as a gift and left with just this pair. MetMo continue to innovate a perfect blend of art & function.
Very cool toy. I find myself fidgeting with it during zoom meetings constantly. Do yourself a favor and get the ultimate pack.
Es macht Spaß und beruhigt.
Awesome fidget!!
Awesome fidget!!
Amazing fidget!
Amazing fidget!
Very well made good quality well worth it 🤗
I’m really nitpicking for the one start drop, for the price these are, the QC could be better, one of the spinners has the brass proud of the wheel, and the other I can spin the brass inserts separate to the wheel, so both have minor figment issues, if it was £30 I wouldn’t complain, but for £65 they should be perfect, but I assure you that’s nitpicking, I would buy these again in a heartbeat, great fun and really satisfying
A perfect fidget, great customer serviceThank you!
My son is a fidgety little guy; he always has to hold something in his hands and play with it. I'm going to get him the Helico MK2 Fidget for his birthday.
the best fidget toy!
A fidget to play with whenever
These are just the right size to roll in your hand or fingers and a superb way to occupy yourself while thinking on life’s important problems.
Best fidget ever! Precision engineering, high quality materials - feels great 👍
Not a great product given the price - “tread” feels plastic and cheap. Decent enough idea just thought for price and company values it’d be more robust.
Hey Jon! Thanks for getting in touch, and for your feedback! The outer part of Helico is a 3D printed nylon, with a C360-grade (H02) brass centre. If you feel it's not for you though, we do offer a 30 day return policy! Cheers Peg
Very good satisfying fidget to play with. It feels very premium despite the 3d printed material, I bought a spur and then later a herringbone double pack. The two varieties do feel slightly different in the hand, but I don't have any preference feel-wise. The teeth on the spur are very small and fragile and prone to chipping if dropped, which is bound to happen given how easily they fly off while you're learning how to spin them. Mine flew off and two of the teeth snapped off, it still spins fine but the damage is very irritating. The spur also catches hair and dust much more easily than the herringbone and it's a bigger hassle to clean out of the tiny gaps. The treads on the herringbone variety seem far more durable and there isn't a significant difference in feel, so I would just recommend that one
I have always fiddled with things, to learn how to use them, but also while doing other things. I’ve lost some dexterity over the last few decades due to various disability issues and notice this improving a little as I’ve become more adept with particular movements with the Helico 2. I like the weight of it, the feel of the gears moving and particularly messing about with magnetic polar forces
Got these for my siblings and they both love them. They're constantly fiddling with them and find them to be incredibly well made with a satisfying feel to them.
Do you have an itch for a solid piece of precise manufactured engineering? Do you have an itch for a visually captivating writing instrument? Do you have an itch for a fidget toy and useful pen with some heft that fits in your cubicle or corner office? This all brass pen with the double threaded nuts is what you need to bring the gravity to your writing prowess! My only regret is that I don't have some high profile document signing to flash my Metmo Brass Helico MK2 Fidget around at
Incredibly well made, and very addictive. Bought the four pack, and alwasy have at least 2 on me.

'The Quietly Brilliant Gift Guide' - for the ones who solve problems before you notice them, and make it look like magic.Metmo Helico MK2 - a precision-engineered desk toy that spins like a gear with a PhD and a penchant for drama. It does nothing. Gloriously. And yet it’s the most satisfying “nothing” you’ll ever touch. Perfect for thinkers who fidget with flair.Ideal for all, but particularly for the friend who redesigned your spreadsheet formulas and then apologized for “meddling”.
Lol this brought immense joy, thank you so much! I know a thing or two about spreadsheet meddlers... ;) Thanks,Team MetMo
I bought these as a gift for my hedge funder SIL, he loves them, says they get him through some tough decisions!!!
