Product Questions

Speks products are designed to encourage creativity, focus, and tactile engagement, offering users flexibility in how they are used. Many people enjoy manipulating the pieces by squeezing, pressing, or reshaping them as a way to relieve stress or regain focus during a busy day. Others use them as a hands-on alternative to screen time, building shapes, patterns, or miniature structures. Users often experiment with the magnetic properties, exploring balance, symmetry, and movement. Over time, individuals develop their own methods, making Speks a personal tool for relaxation, creative exploration, or mindful play. Inspiration may come from tutorials, shared ideas, or simply trial and error.

The materials used in Speks products are carefully selected for performance and durability. Each piece contains neodymium, a rare earth element that, when combined with iron and boron, produces strong and consistent magnets. These materials allow the magnets to maintain strength while staying small and precise. The raw components are shaped into spheres or other forms, then coated with layers of nickel and polymer-based paint to protect the surface, enhance durability, and give each product its distinctive finish. After coating, the pieces are magnetized, creating the tactile, responsive experience that defines Speks. This process combines engineering, science, and design to produce a satisfying hands-on product.

While often compared to earlier magnetic desk toys, Speks represents a refinement rather than a copy of previous designs. The development team applied lessons learned from past products to improve quality, usability, and overall experience. Speks reflects innovation and user-centered design, enhancing earlier concepts with thoughtful improvements and attention to detail.

Currently, individual replacement pieces are not sold separately, though the team continues to consider customer feedback and interest. Users who want updates on potential product changes or additions can subscribe to communications to receive the latest information.

Certain products may change slightly with use. For example, Gump may become sticky over time due to exposure to dust or natural oils from hands, but simple cleaning restores its original texture. Similarly, finishes on products like Supers may develop minor scratches or irregularities, reflecting the coating process and giving each set a unique appearance. These variations are normal and do not indicate defects.

When handling products like Crags, users may notice a dark residue on their hands, which is ferrite dust from the material. It is harmless and can be removed with soap and water or by wiping the pieces. This residue does not affect functionality.

Over time, Speks can collect dirt, but maintenance is simple. Light cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth is typically enough to restore their appearance. With proper care, Speks are durable and designed to remain enjoyable through repeated use.
