Some yo-yos are named after tricks. This one’s named after seeing stones that let you watch over an entire kingdom, which feels right for a yo-yo this size. MK1 continues its Lord of the Rings themed lineup with the Palantir, a full-sized, lightweight organic shaped throw that follows up their release, the Ring Bearer, and this time it’s the seven Palantíri getting their due.
The magic is in how it feels once you actually throw it. That lightweight, organic combination means the Palantir sits naturally in your hand while floating through combos on the string, never feeling heavy or like you’re muscling a full-sized yo-yo around.
Machined from 7075 aluminum at 61.2 grams, 60.2mm in diameter, and 44.4mm wide, the Palantir is built for players who want performance without bulk. The gap is dialed in perfectly for regens and crisp binds, giving you clean, confident returns every time you reach for one. Pick your favorite colorway and start scrying your next combo.
What if you took everything that makes a high-performance yo-yo great and just… made it smaller? MK1 YoYos asked exactly that question, and the Lossless is their answer. Shrink the width, the diameter, the weight, even the bearing and response pads, and what you’re left with isn’t a toy or a novelty. It’s a miniature powerhouse that plays far above its size class.
The secret is in the construction. A 7075 aluminum body brings serious toughness to the compact frame, and huge stainless steel rings give the Lossless a rim-weighted punch that full-sized throws would be proud of. It runs on a small D bearing and plays fully unresponsive, so the tricks you love on a standard-sized yo-yo translate right over without compromise. That perfect middle ground between true miniature and regular-sized means it sits comfortably in your hand and on the string, never feeling cramped or underpowered.
The Lossless is one of our favorite MK1 releases to date, and it’s easy to see why. Whether you’ve always gravitated toward smaller throws or just want something fun, pocketable, and genuinely capable for everyday play, this one delivers without asking you to sacrifice anything. Grab one and find out how much performance MK1 packed into that little frame!
