A fidget cube

The Fidget Cube is a small hand-held device designed by Matthew and Mark McLachlan, brothers and co-founders of the US design studio Antsy Labs.[1] It has fidget tools on all sides: a toggle switch, gears, a rolling ball (marble), a joystick, a spinning disk, a worry stone, and five buttons. It may help users with ADHD focus. It can also help kids with autism and anxiety calm down or focus. [2]

Reception

In a positive review, The Verge described the cube as, "basically a baby toy for adults".[3]

After its 2016 Kickstarter campaign, the Fidget Cube ranked tenth on the highest-funded crowdfunding projects.[4][5][6][7]
