    Fidget Cube

    Has anyone tried a Fidget Cube and does it work pretty well? I've been thinking of getting one, as I think it would be a good thing to fidget with. It could probably be even used for stimming too. Fidget Cube A video showing a fake one vs the real one. The video above ^ shows the features.
