Fidget Cube

The Fidget Cube is a small hand-held device designed by Matthew and Mark McLachlan, brothers and co-founders of the Colorado-based design studio Antsy Labs.[1] It has fidget tools on all sides: a switch, gears, a rolling ball (marble), a joystick, a spinning disk, a worry stone, and five buttons.

Reception

In a positive review, The Verge described the cube as "basically a baby toy for adults".[2]

After its 2016 Kickstarter campaign, The Fidget Cube was one of the highest-funded crowdfunding projects[3][4][5] (the tenth-highest-funded).[6]

gollark: Actually, it's only 0.5 true.
