The Thinket Now (Peened Black PVD, DLC & Nickel)
The GEN 3.0, Thinket® Now (Peened Black PVD, DLC & Nickel), has a hammer-peened Black PVD coating on solid-Brass for the Handle, a machined finish on Nickel plated aluminum for the Slider-Heads, while the Slider-Tube is machined from #304 Stainless-Steel and has a matte Black PVD/DLC coating.
The specially grooved Slider-Heads are designed to accommodate special 15mm O-Rings for cool added haptic effects.
This Thinket form-factor adds a "reassuring-thud" effect to the soothing action called a "satisfying-bounce" that has always been delivered by every Thinket stress-relief device). The "reassuring-thud" effect was the primary motivation behind the most recent Thinket Kickstarter project called ("The Thinket Now, GEN 3.0), which was launched, funded, and successfully fulfilled in 2018.
The special new "thud" sensation is achieved by means of the custom-machined O-Ring grooves in the GEN 3.0 Slider-Heads; and several high-quality O-Rings are included with each Thinket Now for use with those grooves.
* IMPORTANT: "Please note that the Black PVD / DLC plating on the special limited production-run Slider-Tube is a diamond-hard, satin-like textured coating, and during use the Slider-Tube accumulates a fine translucent Brass patina from the Handle's inner flared #260 Brass Sleeve assembly. That translucent patina is similar to a kind of "brass-rubbing" effect." Please see the last example picture of a Black PVD / DLC coated Slider-Tube showing that translucent brass patina.
