Online Fidget Spinner

A smooth online fidget spinner with realistic bearing friction. Swipe around the spinner to set it going, flick again to speed it up, and try to beat your top speed and your longest spin.

How to play Online Fidget Spinner

• Swipe or drag around the spinner in a circular motion and let go to send it spinning. A faster flick means a faster spin.
• Flick again while it is turning to add more speed. Touch and hold it to slow it down.
• No room to swipe? Press Spin! or the Space bar for a quick flick.
• The live readout shows the speed in RPM (turns per minute) and how long the current spin has lasted.
• Your top speed, longest spin and total spins are saved. Pick a three, four or five-arm spinner and a color you like.

Controls

• Swipe / drag around the spinner to flick it
• Space or → — flick clockwise, ← — flick the other way

Tips

• For the longest spins, give several quick flicks in the same direction to build up speed.
• A long, curved swipe near the edge of the spinner gives the biggest push.

FAQ

How fast can the spinner go?

The top speed is a little over 750 RPM. Real spinners can go faster, but this keeps the motion easy to see on a screen.

Why does it slow down?

Like a real bearing, the spinner loses a little speed to friction all the time, more when it is spinning fast, until it gently stops.

How do I spin it faster?

Swipe fast in a curve around the center rather than straight across it. You can also press the Spin! button or the Space bar again and again: each kick adds speed to the spin it already has.
