    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

      Thanks!

      And if you like trackballs, this mouse definitely fits the bill! It’s the Logitech M570, and I’ve used these for years, they’re so comfortable and I prefer them over traditional mice.
