Disclosure

Pocket Mechanica is an independent field guide. This page covers how it stays independent, how it earns, and what it can and cannot promise.

Editorial independence

Coverage here is an editorial decision. Brand owners, studios, and sellers do not pay for inclusion, do not approve articles before they publish, and do not control what an object file says. Being covered is not an endorsement of everything a maker produces, and coverage is not advertising dressed up as a guide.

How the site earns

Pocket Mechanica earns through referral links. Some links to trusted sources — primarily WANEDC — are referral links. If you follow one and buy something, Pocket Mechanica may earn a share of the sale. It costs you nothing extra: the price is identical whether you use the link or not.

That arrangement does not decide what gets covered or what an article says. The income only works if the guide is trustworthy, so the incentive points toward accuracy, not hype. Where a referral link would conflict with telling you the truth about an object, the truth wins.

Accuracy

Information here is researched and, where possible, confirmed directly with the maker. Even then, specifications, variants, materials, and availability change, and some details come from secondary sources. Treat object files as a guide, not a guarantee, and confirm current details with the seller before buying. If something is wrong, tell me — corrections are welcome.

Third-party stores

Pocket Mechanica does not sell anything and does not operate WANEDC or any other store. Stock, pricing, shipping, and fulfilment are the seller’s responsibility.

Trademarks and brand names

Brand names, maker names, and product names belong to their respective owners. They are used here for identification and editorial reference only.

Not medical advice

Fidgets are sometimes discussed in relation to focus, stress, and sensory regulation. Pocket Mechanica is not a medical resource and does not present these objects as treatment for any condition. For medical or therapeutic needs, talk to a qualified professional.
