    After seeing your posts and looking up begleri, I decided to try it. It’s fun to learn, but definitely a skill you have to develop. The tricks look easy until you actually attempt them. I do enjoy just wrapping it around my fingers while I’m sitting around at work though. Thanks!

      Ayyyy, welcome to the club!

      Yes it’s definitely got a steep learning curve! But once you’ve gotten the feel for it, a lot of the other tricks are a much easier to learn - even if they’re more technical

          Anything by Aroundsquare will do you very well, they can be pricy though, but they are definitely premium in quality. I love the Commons, Sigmas, and the Mini Hydras

          TGP also makes great sets

          MonkeyFinger also have some interesting bead designs

          There’s also a bunch of fairly cheap alternatives online, and they’re usually not too bad. Amazon or Etsy will give you loads of options.

          And you can always make a set from hex nuts and paracord too!

          No dedicated community here yet, alas. But I am working on getting !idlehands@sopuli.xyz going. Not specific for begleri, but for skill toys and fidgets. Didn’t want to get too niche too quickly, without enough of a user base to support it

            Found a sub that’s been created but completely empty. Thought I’d start it up by making a post.

            I’ll definitely check all those out. Seems like amazing products!

            Damn why do I keep getting into so many hobbies lol.

              Fun hobbies 😉

              Let me know what you wind up going with and how you like it!

                  Yeah they’re super useful! But don’t be afraid to find a different tutorial. The ones they have are great, but the embedded video controls make it tough to scroll back a few seconds - plus other videos may explain it differently which winds up clicking better for you!

                    I’ve still been looking at different begleri to buy. I found a neat design but it’s aluminum and 7g per bead. I fear they will be too light as opposed to a 9g mini hydra or a 14g modern standard heavy. Any suggestions?

              Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !begleri@lemm.ee
