What happens when you distill the magnetic slider down to its purest, most visceral mechanical essence? On February 26, 2022, LAUTIE answered with the SPY WARS X-LOCK. Built around two symmetric shells and a central limiting post, each half houses three rectangular magnet slots: two end positioning magnets flanking an inverted middle 'booster' magnet. Pushing from one end to the other fires 4 crisp, rapid-fire clicks in a single stroke. On February 17, 2023, X-LOCK 2.0 added screw-mounted DIY cover nameplates and a recessed anti-scratch center post—complete with open-source CAD drawings for custom plates.

February 26, 2022: Birth of the SPY WARS X-LOCK 1.0 Linear Push-Egg Slider
Two symmetric shells, one central H-post, and an inverted middle booster magnet: pure mechanical joy.
Expanding beyond the cyberpunk 2099 line, LAUTIE created the tactical-industrial SPY WARS series and launched its first linear slider—X-LOCK—on February 26, 2022. By placing an inverted booster magnet between two end positioning magnets inside open top windows, every stroke fired four crisp clicks. Both the 77.0 g 304 SS Standard edition and the 68.0 g Black Zirconium + SS Limited edition (222 units final production) shipped with a handmade leather sleeve and spare tuning magnets.
Two symmetric shells, one central H-post, and an inverted middle booster magnet: pure mechanical joy.
Why does X-LOCK stand out as LAUTIE's purest industrial linear slider? Three verified engineering pillars:
- Each half of X-LOCK houses three magnet slots: two end positioning magnets and an inverted center magnet that acts as a magnetic booster, producing 4 crisp detents and metallic snaps across a single full stroke.
- Every unit ships with a custom leather sleeve and spare magnets of varying thickness, letting players tune magnetic force and center-post screw tension across 77.0 g (304 SS) and 68.0 g (Black Zirconium) builds.
- Released Feb 17, 2023, X-LOCK 2.0 added screw-mounted Brass/SS cover nameplates over the magnet slots, a recessed center post to prevent scratch marks, and open-source CAD drawings for custom DIY plates and pen clips.
02
February 17, 2023 X-LOCK 2.0: Removable DIY Nameplates, Anti-Scratch Post & Open CAD
Sealing the magnet slots, eliminating center-post scratches, and open-sourcing the nameplate blueprint.
One year later, on February 17, 2023, LAUTIE unveiled X-LOCK 2.0. To protect the magnet slots and elevate visual contrast, Gen-2 introduced screw-mounted removable cover nameplates (engraved SPY WARS on the front and LAUTIE EDC on the back), pairing Antiqued 304 SS with golden Brass plates (77.0 g) and Stonewashed Black Zirconium with silver 304 SS plates (68.0 g).
Gen-2 also machined a recessed relief groove along the central limiting post to prevent sliding wear marks, and published the official CAD drawing of the nameplate so players could fabricate custom plates or mount a pocket pen clip.

How to Tune Your X-LOCK via Inverted Booster Magnets & Center-Post Tension
Hide details ▴Show details ▾
Mastering polarity combinations across the 3-slot array and center-post screw tension.
X-LOCK's modularity rewards hands-on tuning: (1) the factory setup (two aligned end magnets + one inverted center magnet) delivers a snappy mid-stroke boost; (2) swapping in the included thinner spare magnets softens resistance for effortless marathon flicking; and (3) micro-adjusting the center-post screw dials in your preferred balance of acoustic snap and tight rail tracking.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about LAUTIE EDC X-LOCK Magnetic Slider
Why does X-LOCK produce 4 distinct clicks per stroke when each half only has 3 magnet slots?
The secret is the inverted middle magnet! While the two outer slots hold aligned positioning magnets, the center magnet is intentionally flipped to act as a polarity booster. As the top shell slides across, the alternating attraction and repulsion points create 4 distinct detents and crisp clicks per full stroke.

What are the key differences between the 2022 X-LOCK 1.0 and 2023 X-LOCK 2.0?
