Product Questions

Speks products are created to serve as versatile tools for creativity, focus, and tactile engagement, giving users the freedom to explore them in ways that suit their own routines. Many people use them to manipulate shapes, stretch patterns, or squeeze pieces as a method of relieving stress and refocusing during a hectic day. Others enjoy taking short breaks from screens, letting their hands work in tandem with their imagination to build small structures, designs, or abstract forms. Some find pleasure in experimenting with the magnetic properties, exploring balance, alignment, and motion. Over time, users often develop personalized techniques and habits, turning Speks into a ritual for relaxation, inventive exploration, or mindful play. Inspiration often arises organically, whether from tutorials, shared ideas, or simply the curiosity that comes from experimenting until a new form emerges.

At the heart of Speks is a carefully engineered material composition. The pieces are constructed using neodymium, a rare earth element prized for its strong magnetic capabilities when alloyed with iron and boron. This combination produces compact, precise, and resilient magnets capable of maintaining their strength over time. Each piece is initially molded into small spheres or shapes before being coated with layers of nickel and polymer-based paint. These coatings enhance durability, protect the surface, and provide a distinctive finish. Once coated, the pieces are magnetized, transforming them into responsive objects that blend tactile satisfaction with simple scientific principles. The production process combines precision engineering, material science, and thoughtful design to create an engaging hands-on experience.

Speks are often compared to earlier magnetic desk toys, yet they are better understood as an evolution rather than a replication. Designers behind the product drew on lessons learned from past magnetic creations to improve quality, usability, and overall experience. This approach reflects years of accumulated knowledge about how people interact with magnets, resulting in a product that refines prior ideas while offering something new and more thoughtful. Speks represents a continuation of a concept shaped by both creators and users, rather than a simple imitation of existing designs.

While some users inquire about replacement pieces, individual balls or components are not currently sold separately. The team continues to review feedback and customer interest, and those who wish to stay informed about updates or future availability can subscribe for news directly from the company.

Certain Speks products may naturally change with use. For example, Gump can develop a slightly sticky texture over time due to dust or oils from handling. This effect is reversible with proper care, restoring its soft, smooth feel. Other finishes, like those on Supers, may show minor scratches or variations from the coating process itself. These differences are natural, making each set unique rather than flawed.

Users of products like Crags may notice a dark residue on their hands, which is typically harmless ferrite dust that can be removed with soap and water. A simple wipe of the pieces also helps reduce future transfer. Regular cleaning is straightforward, requiring only basic care such as using a microfiber cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and maintain appearance. With this level of care, Speks are designed to remain durable, functional, and enjoyable through repeated handling.
