✅ SOLVED Weird buttons

I found this in the park this morning. They’re 7/8” x 1-7/8”, stick together with 4 small magnets. The body of the owls are tactile, push-button switches. The round concentric circle are the contacts, and one does close when one of the owls is pressed. The other one doesn’t work. The odd shaped circles do move around, and appear to be some sort of contacts. Since they don’t fit securely together, it appear that another similar shaped layer went between them. They appear to be part of a remote control electrical device, but multiple searches have come up for naught. Any guesses?

It's a 'fidget toy' from the SkillToyz company:

The Owl Magnetic Fidget Slider and Clicker Embossed Black

"As with our other owl fidgets, these have two halves inset with magnets and a central ball bearing, that let it slide, click and spin. They are functionally the same with a really nice tactile movement as the magnets work against each other. The Owl has a very clever design but is hard to describe - you can see this fidgeter in action in our short YouTube video below. The two halves not only slide up and down length-ways, but also rotate and at one end it is designed to spin freely. All the movements have a good positive magnetic resistance and most have a nice clicky feel. You get very nice haptic feedback when you fidget with this. One handed fidgeting is easily possible. This item is NOT suitable for children.
Note from Skilltoyz: The two halves do come apart. The ball bearing in the centre is held in place by magnets but is not fixed in place and could be lost - be careful."

I didn't think of Figits. The funny thing is, the 'bearing' or whatever it is, actually acts like switch contacts. As I said, weird as heck!
