The gap is where the bearing is. A small gap will be responsive and a larger gap will be unresponsive. Also, what shape do you prefer in a yoyo (flat rims, h-shape) and what’s your price budget?

The widht is the whole yoyo. I guess you’d like 40mm gaps.

If it tells you the gap width, it will say “Gap Width” but if it just says width, that will be the width of the whole yoyo.
