Deadeye Donut Hollows - Exotic Metals Editions

Deadeye Donut Hollows - Exotic Metals Editions

The exotic metal editions of our beefy Donut Hollow Deadeyes are a sight to behold. Both the zircuti and full zirconium versions are visually stunning, and satisfying in the hand. They've been polished and finished to perfection, giving full expression to these gorgeous materials. The generous proportions and simple design of the Donut Hollows make them a delight to hold and manipulate. Their design combines the handling and feel of standard deadeyes with our slimmer hollow versions, creating a versatile object that works beautifully as a simple worry coin and offers endless possibilities for flowy manipulation as well. 

With a ~10mm cross-sectional diameter—much thicker than our original Hollows but the same outer size—these feel more substantial and ergonomic in hand, making them great for manipulations as well as just general handling. Interestingly, they’re in many ways more conducive to manipulations than the original Hollows. However users familiar with the slimmer Hollows may need a short adjustment period, as they handle a bit more like the original deadeyes themselves rather than a Hollow. Whether you're into manipulation or just appreciate simple, elegant objects like our Nowhere Planks, these Donut Hollows make a deeply satisfying carry piece. 

Note on the exotic editions: The zirconium and zircuti Donut Hollows are ever so slightly thinner than the standard metal editions (~several tenths of a millimetre). While most players would likely not notice this difference, in a close-up, hands-on, side-by-side, the difference may be perceptible.  

Our Zirconium Edition: 

The beautiful zirconium edition of the Donut Hollows are precision machined from solid zirc, and then polished and torched to a gorgeous finish. The material has a deep grey/ black finish, which has the appearance of some depth.

Details:

• Weight: ~44.1g
• 37mm exterior diameter (the same as the original large Deadeyes), 17mm interior diameter

Our Zircuti Edition: 

This incredible edition is precision machined from a solid billet of zircuti. The material is forged from folded layers of titanium and zirconium, then precision machined, polished, and torched to create eye-popping colour patterns.

Each piece is unique, with its own grain patterns and colour differences. The bright colours of the torched titanium contrast with the dark zirc tones to create something truly special. The photos provided are all unedited, and shot with bright indoor lighting, to give a true depiction of what you’ll be getting. 

Details:

• Weight: ~30.6g
• 37mm exterior diameter (the same as the original large Deadeyes), 17mm interior diameter

NOTE:  Due to the manufacturing process, these Hollows have been rounded extra by a very small amount. While it is hard to tell from the photos and even in person, you will notice a slight difference in feel when playing with them. 

Our May 2025 Launch Preview video below dives deeper on these guys, and provides some ideas for the types of usage with them:

General Information On the Deadeye Coins

Aroundsquare’s Deadeyes are part skill toy, part worry stone, part mind control device. Roll them between your fingers, or press use your thumb into the smooth contour and breath deep to dissolve the stresses of daily life.

These contact coins are designed to be handled and manipulated. On the surface, the Deadeyes look like just a refined worry stone made from metal, and they certainly serve well for that. They are precisely crafted and beautifully finished, with an ergonomic indent on either side that is perfect for thumbs of any size. But as you’d expect from AO2, there’s more to it than that. The concave shape and resulting ridge around the perimeter make the Deadeyes perfect for contact-style manipulation. With practice, they can be made to roll fluidly between the fingers, or back and forth over the thumbs, and isolations can be performed where the coins appear to be floating around the fingertips.

All Deadeyes are packaged in a box, and ship with Aroundsquare stickers.
