Has anyone tried this for stimming?

[Moogwizard]

I can’t remember what it is called but you can move the attached blocks around in different combinations. A bit similar to rubik’s cube . It is extremely satisfying.

No, but it looks like something I would play with. I had something a little similar. It was linked plastic pieces that formed a ring, or you could kind of fold them into a stack. But, I accidentally broke it.

I love this kind of thing, but any sort of plastic fidget/stim object only holds my interest for a few days at most. Except for the very specific style of stress balls that I've kept with me everywhere I go for the last 20 years

Ah yeah, infinity cubes IIRC. I've seen those around for sale and they always intrigue me for stimming but I just know I'll inevitably go back to like...just clicking my smartphone's stylus or fiddling around with a small Transformer as a fidget object IDK why.

Maybe it's just because I've never actually bought something specifically for stimming so I just use stuff I already have.

I love those soft squishy balls because l love the softness, so squishy. Given a noise sounding stim toy or a feel type stim, l would opt for the feel stim choice. I always will start feeling my elastic in my pants etc. or the inseam or the material .

Pens have always been my go to. Either clicking or tapping on my thigh. It doesn't draw a too much attention at work. I recently got a pen with a spinning top and it has been nice as well.

Oh yes infinity cubes ! That’s what they are I forgot the name . I use fidget spinner and infinity cubes

@Dashy8

I remember the pens that used to be my favorite when I was younger .

I do love clicking pens, l just realized that. Omg

@Aspychata

Me too so satisfying!

Love the looks and the feel can't be beat. Swoosh balls.

 

[Progster]

I love those!
Edit: I just ordered one online.

@SusanLR

Those look fun, I have to try one

I've seen something similar called a Rubiks Twist:

@SusanLR I wish they'd make those swoosh balls (is that what they're called? had no idea honestly) out of materials other than that rubber. Cause I love them but sometimes the texture of all the little tentacles (IDK a better way to describe it) bothers the hell out of me.

Is that what they are called, swoosh balls? Years ago I found one of those things in a drawer in an apartment I shared with other people and I could not figure out what it was for. I imagined it was for some weird ball game I had never heard of.

I just found this while tidying up my electronics stuff. It's a rotary encoder and it's rather nice to rotate. It's weighty with lots of little tiny detents. It goes round and round forever. I twisted it a few times and it was like that scene in the Simpsons where Homer discovers the Ribwitch at Krusty Burger! I don't know how I had this for so long without discovering how satisfying it is to just turn it. It immediately made me think of this thread

 

[MildredHubble]

And there's these! I have some good fidget toys!

 

[SusanLR]

@Princess Viola and @Forest Cat
Swoosh balls is the classic name and I've seen them called Koosh
balls also.
I get them in places like Walmart or Walgreens with no names on them reasonably priced. They can be ordered online also.

Oh I have one of those somewhere! Now I need to find it!
