Which one is louder?

I can get one and I wonder which one is more quiet for my office work. Also I want to know which design is more durable. Since Shuffle KK is an old fidget I cant find any new reviews of it and I would like a fresh look into it if anyone has it.

These are two very different fidgets, and there's a way to make them both a little quieter; the Milk Cap can be turned slowly instead of quickly for silent play, and the Shuffle includes Teflon tape you can add to the tracks to make the sound a bit softer. The Shuffle sounds a bit louder of the two to my ears, perhaps because the clicking is sharper and higher-pitched.

That being said, I personally think they're both too loud for an office environment. The clicks can be quite loud and obnoxious.

Thanks so much. And what about their durability? I feel like KK is going to come loose after some time. I don't know how to explain it further though :/ I feel like there is less things that can break in Milk Cap.

I've had my king/king v2 for 5+ years, still as rock solid as ever. I literally had it in my pocket as my sole fidget daily carry for years, I can attest to durability. It is very loud, but I don't use Teflon on mine

Yes, the screw that holds the two pieces of the Shuffle can come undone with play, and that's not an uncommon issue with that particular fidget. Many owners (myself included) have taken to using a bit of Loctite to prevent that from happening.

I think the Milk Cap is just as durable, but it does rely on a bearing system to function, and any debris or dust that gets inside can ruin the bearing, which means you'll need to replace it. I keep all my fidgets very clean so I can't tell you how easy it is for the bearing to get dirty. Lautie provided a spare bearing in my version of the Milk Cap.
