That looks kinda like a YoYoJam Lyn Fury. If it weighs about 64g, has a diameter ~54mm and a width of ~41mm, that’s probably it.

Hey Isaac,
I think you’re right, thank bud

The YoYoJam Lyn Fury had narrower black o-rings. Those look to be some sort of stock silicone rings of later YYJ models, not a custom silicone job. Also, maybe it’s camera distortion from being too close but the profile doesn’t look right. It’s not rounded enough. The shoulder looks too sharp. And even at that resolution, the four mold dimples should be visible in the flat portion around the o-rings.

The profile looks more like a speedmaker
I"ll go with that, guessing it was a half swap, as the original speedmaker had the hybrid response system - half o-ring and half starburst. And here I’m ready to concede that this may be a home brew silicone job.
I’ll also relent on the mold dimples being visible.
One problem I have with thinking it’s a speedmaker is the outer edge of the rim is flatter on the speedmaker. Then again it may be distortion in the mystery yoyo pics.

I believe the Original yoyofactory one design. Not the new one with the ski jumps about halfway up the profile. These were FUN yoyos.

I think @Yosiah might be right, while I couldn’t find a pic of the old Ones the profile of the current one looks super similar to the yo-yo you posted just without the bumps/ski jumps like Yosiah mentions.
Plus the guts look very similar, no visible metal in the axle holes vs the visible brass (?) in the YYJ throws:

My buddies and i used to buy these for the yoyo club we had in middle school to give to other people. My typing teacher even pitched in to buy about 20 of them so we could get as many people possible throwing as we could. SIDE NOTE: that club and people starting to yoyo would never have started if dazzling dave had never come to our school for a demonstration. Good times. Thats def a yoyofactory one

The pics from Isaac show a much larger flat area around the bearing than those posted by

Yes. I know there were 2 seperatw versions of the yoyofactory one. The original and present which has the ski jumps and a little different feeling plastic. As far as i can recall the one that @EF.n.YOYO posted is the one just by my recollection.
Could be wrong. This is all just what i remember

Looks about the same
EDIT: I think I can say almost without a doubt that that’s an old YYF One
